Milltek Downpipes & Sports Cats for BMW 2 Series M2 Competition Coupé (F87) (2018 onwards) – Improved Flow, Sports Catalyst
This is Milltek's large-bore downpipe with hi-flow sports cat for the BMW 2 Series M2 Competition Coupé (F87). It replaces the restrictive factory downpipe with a larger-bore pipe fitted with a high-flow sports catalyst in place of the standard unit, using a less dense substrate that flows significantly better than the factory cat while still treating the exhaust gases passing through it.
It sits between a stock downpipe and a full de-cat: a genuine flow gain suited to a Stage 1 or Stage 2 remap, without giving up the catalyst entirely the way a de-cat pipe does.
In the UK, a replacement catalyst on a car first registered from 1 March 2001 needs ECE R103 type-approval to be road legal, so check the EC Approved line in the specification for the version you choose.

Does it fit the BMW 2 Series M2 Coupé (F87)?
No. For that car, choose the Milltek HJS Tuning ECE Downpipes BMW 2 Series M2 Coupé F87 16-18.
Is it road legal?
Milltek lists this as a race part without EC approval, so it is intended for off-road and competition use.
Do I need a remap?
Yes. Milltek notes: "Removes OE Primary Cats and OPF/GPF's and Replaces with 2 x 200CPSI High Flow Cats - Requires Stage 2 ECU Software - Must be fitted with Milltek Sport Catback Only". Without suitable software the engine management is likely to log faults.
Can I use it with my standard exhaust?
It depends on the version. Some are made for the factory (OE) system and others for the Milltek cat-back, so check the notes for the option you choose.
How is a sports cat different from a de-cat?
A sports cat still contains a catalyst, just a less dense one that flows better than the factory unit. A de-cat removes the catalyst completely.
How long does it take to fit?
Milltek quotes approx. 3 to 3.5 hours.
What is it made from?
T304L aircraft-grade stainless steel, which is anti-magnetic and resists discolouration better than lower grades.
Is there a warranty?
Yes. Milltek products are covered against defects in materials and workmanship. Contact us with your order number if you have a problem.
