Product details
OVERVIEW
Version 2 of Valvetronic Designs' F-Chassis Valved Axle-Back is the most refined system yet for the BMW F-Series lineup, built in T304 stainless steel with electronic valves and a newly engineered cast Y-pipe. Version 2 introduces a redesigned valve for improved reliability and responsiveness, relocated hangers, and revised muffler internals for a more docile, refined tone when the valves are closed. The cast Y-pipe maximizes exhaust flow and enhances tonal quality, delivering a more engaging, sonorous sound across the rev range, whether paired with the OEM mid-pipe or most aftermarket mid-pipes matching factory dimensions.
With the valves open, the system produces a deep, raw, aggressive tone with loud pops, sharp overrun snaps, and pronounced gear-change sounds; with them closed, it returns to near-stock volume for quiet commuting or late-night driving. On cars with a factory exhaust valve, the valves integrate with BMW's drive-mode settings for instant sound control from the cabin. Construction is brushed T304 stainless steel with precision TIG welds, full mandrel bends, and sleeve-style exhaust tips for perfect alignment.
