• Code: EX004 (JAN 4957266941249)

Key Highlights

Tail Design & Finish
Inspired by the legendary BMW 3.0 CSL, the dual tailpipes are slash-cut with a deep-edge finish and blasted surface for a subtle high-end sheen. Internal slits in the tail section optimise sound, giving you a unique exhaust note that stands out.

Sound Engineering
While many “sport” systems sacrifice refinement for volume, HKSTUDIE went deeper: using frequency-analysis and custom internal silencing they’ve managed to combine sporty character at high RPMs with quiet, comfortable cruising. The system passes Japanese acceleration noise regulations (R51-03) and features optimized layout with no restrictive mid-silencer.

Why Choose This Exhaust?

• Purpose-engineered for the G87 M2, not a “one-size-fits-many” kit.

• Real world dyno and flow-bench data show measurable performance gains.

• Street-friendly sound: refined cruising, bold when you push.

• Built from premium materials in Japan with strong warranty backing.

• Compliant with Japanese noise regulations — offering peace of mind for inspections.

Installation & Usage Notes

• Professional installation recommended.

• Retain all removed OE parts until you confirm fitment and operation.

• After installation, allow for warm-up and check for any exhaust leaks or abnormal heat routing.

• If you have performance tuning (ECU remap, downpipes, etc), you may see greater gains than published figures.

• Ensure sufficient clearance from road surfaces and track-use obstacles (minimum 137 mm ground clearance at specified point) to avoid damage.
