Without these flex joints, the prototypes created an annoying vibration from within the cabin. We quickly realized the necessity of including flex joints into the design and went back to the drawing board. The works of art you see above are a culmination of years of experience engineering top-notch BMW exhaust products.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMade from 1.3-1.5mm thick 304 stainless steel, our F87 M2C, F80 M3 and F82 M4 downpipes can also be finished with a performance enhancing, ceramic coating from Swain Tech Coatings for an additional charge. Developed for precise fitment on both the F87 M2C, F80 M3 and F82 BMW M4, the difference in performance will be noticeable the moment you leave your driveway!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptional white lightning exhaust coating\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #404040;\"\u003eUnlike many of the cosmetic exhaust coatings, Swain Tech Coating’s White Lightning Exhaust Coating is a REAL ceramic coating – an exceptional insulating material. Since White Lightning is such a great insulating material, it is applied nearly five times thicker than a cosmetic coating. Additionally, White Lightning has performance enhancing benefits that cannot be matched by other cosmetic exhaust coatings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eApplied in a molten state, the ceramic coating bonds directly to the exhaust component. Typically a White Lightning coating can reduce radiant heat by roughly 35-55% - thus reducing engine bay and intake air temperatures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A 10°F reduction in intake air temperature provides a 1% increase in horsepower. A 30°F reduction equates to a 3% horsepower increase.” – Swain Tech Coatings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFurthermore, the insulating properties of the coating keep exhaust gases at the highest temperature possible creating greater exhaust gas velocity and higher efficiency. With the melting point of the White Lightning coating being over 3,000°F, you will not have to worry about damaging the coating.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe most remarkable feature of the White Lightning coating is how quickly it dissipates heat. Less than an hour after running hard, the downpipes will be cool to the touch allowing you to work around them without being concerned about scalding yourself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen contemplating whether or not to add the optional White Lightning coating to your F87 M2C, F80 M3 or F82 M4 Active Autowerke Downpipes – remember it is all about gaining that extra bit of performance!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #404040;\"\u003eThese products are a part of our motorsport collection.
