SOUL Performance Resonated Muffler-Bypass Exhaust System w/ Straight Satin Tips for F10 BMW M5

SOUL Performance Products’ Resonated Muffler Bypass Exhaust for the BMW F10 M5 replaces the restrictive rear mufflers with a mandrel-bent 3″ T304L stainless system and straight-through race resonators, unlocking a far more aggressive European V8 character while keeping cabin drone in check. Designed to work seamlessly with the factory midpipes and popular upgrades like downpipes, the system’s Y-pipe layout and optional Satin Straight Cut Single Wall tips give the rear of the car a clean, motorsport-inspired appearance with adjustable fitment for a flush or slightly staggered look. The race resonators smooth out harsh frequencies under cruise yet allow full turbo presence and bark under heavy throttle, transforming the M5’s personality without compromising long-distance comfort. Constructed from .065″ wall stainless tubing with laser-cut brackets and a cast Y-section for improved internal flow and durability, each system is fixture-tested for precise fit and installs at a factory break point so the OEM exhaust can be re-fitted if desired. During third-party testing with supporting modifications, SOUL’s Resonated Muffler Bypass helped an F10 M5 achieve 610 whp and 615 ft-lbs of torque, underscoring its performance capability, and every system is backed by SOUL’s lifetime warranty for both street and track use.

Development

• The M5 offers a refined driving experience with generous sound deadening and a heavily muffled exhaust system, which results in a subdued tone that dampens the captivating symphony produced by the 4.4L engine. However, SOUL Performance Products has developed an effective solution. Upon evaluating the factory mid pipes, it is evident that they possess a highly efficient and relatively smooth-flowing design. BMW has implemented a designated breaking point for upgraded exhaust systems, with the rear section being the limiting factor.
• To address these limitations, SOUL Performance Products offers the Resonated Muffler Bypass Exhaust designed explicitly for the M5. This innovative exhaust system replaces the factory mufflers with a clamp-on, 3″ straight pipe design, incorporating race resonators to minimize drone. The straight-through design of the race resonators ensures maximum power and an exhilarating sound during intense throttle applications while effectively reducing harsh frequencies that can result in cabin drone during partial throttle and cruising conditions. This exhaust system is the perfect companion for aftermarket downpipes, eliminating drone and raspiness. The Y-pipe setup, exiting through quad tips, promotes balanced exhaust distribution and provides adjustability for achieving either a flush or staggered appearance in the bumper. Experience heightened aggression without compromising on drone control with the SOUL Performance Products’ Resonated Muffler Bypass Exhaust.

Construction

• Every set of muffler bypass pipes is meticulously crafted from mandrel bent T304L stainless steel tubing, ensuring exceptional quality and durability. The 3″ diameter tubes feature a .065″ wall thickness, providing optimal flow characteristics. Straight through race resonators are incorporated into the design, employing a full metal packing construction for maximum longevity. Laser-cut brackets are included to guarantee a precise fitment, ensuring hassle-free installation.
• To further personalize your M5, a range of hand-finished tip options is available to choose from. Select the tip style that best complements the aesthetics of your vehicle. In the latest update for 2020, SOUL Performance Products introduces a cast Y section, which enhances the interior flow of the exhaust system. The smooth wall interior path, combined with the knife-edged split, optimizes exhaust flow efficiency, resulting in improved performance.
• Experience the perfect combination of durability, fitment, and style with the SOUL Performance Products muffler bypass pipes for the M5.

Power

• During third-party dyno testing conducted at R/T Tuning, SOUL Performance Products’ development car achieved impressive peak power figures. With a combination of modifications including downpipes, a custom tune, and the Resonated Muffler Bypass Exhaust, the vehicle recorded an impressive 610whp and 615ft-lbs of torque. These results highlight the significant performance gains made possible by SOUL’s high-quality components and exhaust system.

Bolt On & Go

• Every exhaust system undergoes meticulous testing in a dedicated fixture to guarantee impeccable fitment. The installation process involves cutting the original exhaust at a designated factory break point, which is conveniently marked with a dimple. This strategic cut allows for the reinstallation of the factory system if desired or required in the future. Comprehensive installation instructions are thoughtfully included in the package, ensuring a straightforward and hassle-free installation experience that can be easily undertaken by most DIY enthusiasts.
