What are the Fabspeed F8X Competition Link Pipes for the M3 and M4?

They are a free-flowing, mandrel-bent stainless primary downpipe section for the S55-powered F80 M3 and F82/F83 M4, built to open up the exhaust for maximum flow and the most aggressive sound. They add 15 horsepower and 16 lb-ft, cut 6 pounds, and are intended for track and off-road competition use only, not street driving.

Which cars do the Competition Link Pipes fit?

They fit the F80 BMW M3 and the F82 and F83 M4 with the 3.0L twin-turbo S55 inline-six. The M3 ran through 2018 and the M4 coupe and convertible through 2020, so confirm your model and year before ordering.

Are these street legal?

No. The Competition Link Pipes are intended for off-road competition use only and may cause a check engine light. They are not CARB approved and are not for sale in California, and Fabspeed makes no assessment of compliance with the EPA's anti-tampering policy. For a street-driven M3 or M4, keep a catted downpipe instead.

How much power do they add, and how do they sound?

On Fabspeed's dyno the Competition Link Pipes added 15 horsepower and 16 lb-ft in comparison to the Factory Equipment, while cutting 6 pounds. The free-flowing primary section sharpens turbo response and gives the S55 its loudest, most aggressive voice, which is why these are the most focused option Fabspeed offers for the F8X exhaust.

What are the Competition Link Pipes made from?

They are mandrel-bent from stainless steel with minimal welds, a design Fabspeed uses to increase flow and reduce the chance of cracking under the heat and vibration of hard driving. They install as a direct bolt-on, and because they are a competition part, expect a possible check engine light.

Do they work with other Fabspeed parts?

Yes. The Competition Link Pipes are designed to fit with the factory exhaust or as an add-on to a Fabspeed Valvetronic Exhaust System for the F8X M3 and M4, so you can run them with your stock rear exhaust or pair them with a Fabspeed valved system for a complete setup.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
