Arrow Gintani S55 F8x M3/M4 Downpipes - A Closer Look ..::PSI::..

I thought everyone would enjoy some photos of the Gintani Downpipes about to go on our project M4.

These are made by hand in right here in the USA with 304 Stainless Steel.

Enjoy!

These are likely the "sensible" choice but the Akras are just so damn pretty... Sure you can hardly ever see them but still...

Both are a great option for the car, essentially accomplishes the same goal.

Will the JB4 allow you to tune out a CEL?

Due to the factory BMW flange/mating system utilized, BMW allows flex and expansion using their unique gasket system. We have designed our down pipes to utilize the stock gasket system. Our flanges have been custom made in-house to ensure proper sealing and expansion. Using all these methods reduces the need for a flex joint in the down pipes and avoiding premature wear.
