Part Number: AP504A
Why this performance system stands out
Stone has been building high quality exhausts since 1998, combining 3D scanning, reverse engineering and in-house dyno validation to create systems that bolt up like factory and elevate character without the headaches. We have fitted multiple kits at MJ Modifications in Warwickshire and customer feedback has been consistently excellent for fit, finish and sound quality.
Valve control your way
The valve interfaces with the vehicle electronics for factory-style operation. Drivers wanting manual control can add the optional Stone Valvetronic single-valve setup with plug and play OBD controller and remote fobs, letting you choose quiet or loud at the press of a button. Ideal for early starts, long motorway runs and weekend blasts.
Main benefits
- Switchable flap system for two distinct sound profiles with OE-style control
- Flows from the catalytic converter back for a balanced, resonant tone
- Optional Valvetronic remote kit with OBD plug for on-demand control
- One piece layout for smooth flow and straightforward installation
- Interior resonance reduced compared with the standard rear section
- Accurate fit on F20 and F21 platforms, rear wheel drive and xDrive, including LCI
- In-house R&D, dyno checked and sound tuned for the N55 straight six
- Premium finish with precision welding for long term durability
Engineering and development
OEM parts are 3D scanned to capture exact geometry, diameters and routing. Using simulation tools, engineers optimise gas flow, pressure distribution and temperature behaviour, then verify on the dyno and the road for dependable results and an authentic tone that complements the M135i.

7 axis CNC bending
Formed on 7 axis CNC bending equipment for aerospace-level precision. The process achieves up to 98 percent roundness with outer bore wear controlled to roughly 25 percent at tight 180 degree bends. With an accuracy error under 0.025 mm and integrally formed pipework, airflow disruption is minimised and weld stress is reduced.

Advanced welding
High temperature joints use crisscross and overlapping techniques to increase width and penetration, while direct spot welding by mechanical arms improves consistency and strength. The result is a robust, clean finish that resists cracking and looks as good as it sounds.
