Active Autowerke BMW B46 Catted Downpipe with GESI G-Sport. BMW introduced a new valve-tronic, single turbo version of its direct-injection engine for the later F-Chassis models beginning in 2016 and continuing into the G-chassis models. The Active Autowerke B46 downpipe for the 230i, 330i and 430 helps unleash some of the potential that is restricted by the OEM downpipe.

Turbochargers are powered by spent exhaust gases created during the combustion process. The quicker these gases are evacuated, the better. Unfortunately, the factory down pipe in the B46 is quite restrictive, which results in slower exhaust gases and slower turbo spool. The Active Autowerke F-Chassis B46 Signature down pipe utilizes 3-1/2 inch diameter stainless steel piping in order to provide more power, quicker spool, and extreme durability. We've incorporated a stainless flex joint and then to the ball flare to meet the OEM exhaust system.

The GESi G-Sport High Output Catalytic Converter features full 304 stainless steel construction, including the substrate. GESi HO-Series Gen 2 Catalytic Converters are EPA registered and compliant in 49 states and fully OBD2 compliant, perfect for use on 1996 and newer vehicles. GESi proprietary precious metal loading technology ensures greatly reduced emissions, eliminating most "Check Engine Lights". These high flow catalytic converters outperform stock converters and provide a reliable solution to the most common catalytic converter problems.

The GESi HO-Series Catalytic Converters are rated for engines putting out between 300 and 500 horsepower while maintaining a high flow capacity. The reduced back-pressure from this high flow catalytic converter will allow you to maximize your engines horsepower without the harmful emissions. Say goodbye to Check Engine Lights and failed emissions tests!

BM3 Vehicle Compatibility and Unlock Status Check Procedure

Connect to your vehicle, (you need to get an OBD2 Ethernet cable and an MFI certified adapter cable if applicable or a WiFi adapter) start the OBD agent (you can get it here: https://www.bootmod3.net/downloads/ or our APP) and before you’re about to log in on https://www.bootmod3.net , click on the ‘check support' button on the right-hand side. If using our app, login, click on vehicle and you should have this information (if locked or unlocked) already displayed on that page.

Message written in bold letters under your software ID's will let you know if we have support for your engine type. It will also tell you if you need a bench unlock or not, and what type of an unlock is needed if you do need one.

If the message states that your DME requires a bench unlock before flash-tuning your vehicle, you will need to reach out to one of our authorized dealers and inquire about a bench unlock. The listing for all of our authorized dealers can be found in the link attached below.
