Active Autowerke EL Mid Pipe for BMW M2 Competition (F87 LCI, S55) 2018+ – Equal Length X-Pipe Centre/Center Section, Direct-Fit – Resonated or Non-Resonated – Rasp Delete, Drone Reduction – M2C Exhaust Upgrade | Midpipe/Middle Section

EL Mid Pipe Upgrade for BMW M2 Competition F87 LCI S55 2018+ | Direct-fit centre section | Resonated or non-resonated

Give your M2C the soundtrack it deserves. This Active Autowerke EL mid pipe transforms the S55 note from buzzy and tinny to a smooth, rich inline-six tone while sharpening response. It replaces the factory middle section with a precision equal-length design that dramatically cuts the high-pitched rasp and delivers a deeper, more motorsport-inspired sound on throttle and a refined character at cruising speeds.

Built around Active Autowerke’s patent-pending sinusoidal crossover, the runners are equalised before the X merge so exhaust pulses arrive in sync. That clever geometry corrects the uneven timing caused by the twin-turbo layout, cleansing the note and improving drivability. It is a true bolt-on that mounts to factory locations, teams up with the OEM rear silencer, and is compatible with most popular axle-back systems.

We run this system on our own cars and customer feedback has been consistently brilliant. If you are chasing a premium BMW M2C exhaust sound without drone, quicker turbo spool and a sharper pedal feel, this is the proven centre section upgrade.

Why this EL mid pipe is the go-to choice

• Equal-length crossover reduces harsh rasp for a clean, deep six-cylinder soundtrack
• Improves response and urgency, especially in the low to mid range
• Lighter than the stock centre section
• Direct-fit, bolt-on installation using factory mounting points
• Works with the OEM back box and most aftermarket rear sections
• Choose resonated or non-resonated to tailor volume and tone to your downpipes
