The wait is over for all of you interested in the ultimate exhaust solution for your G42 M240i.


At Valvetronic Designs, we believe in offering enthusiast the ultimate experience. That is why in our pursuit to develop engineer and deliver the worlds most enjoyable sound experience for the G42 platform, we have resulted in one of our finest systems yet. Utilizing many developments from our other systems, we have focused on utilizing the maximum piping diameter so that you get the most raw and unfiltered sound experience when the valves are opened. When the valves are open, this system is as raw as it comes. Tons of turbo spool, aggressive overrun, and an unfiltered aggressive sound that sings all the way from idle to redline. Fortunately, with the valves closed, the exhaust is extremely docile and perfect for a daily use. Over 25 dB of sound difference from valves open to valves closed means that you're enjoy enjoyment of your G42 will be unwavering as this exhaust system allows you to have that much needed flexibility. At Valvetronic Designs, we never compromise, and neither should you when it comes to choosing the best exhaust system for your G42.


Features of this Valved Exhaust
Constructed from T304 Stainless Steel
3.5 in midpipe for maximum sound and flow
Dual Pneumatic Actuated Valves for Unparalleled Longevity and Flexibility
20.9 lbs Lighter than the factory exhaust
Fully Mandrel bend for maximum flow
Precision tig welds for high strength
100% REVERSABLE, always able to go back to stock at any time


Due to our success on the G20 M340i platform and many other Bmw models, we have honed in on what really works well for these vehicles. The B58 truly does rain supreme, and the sound you get out of this full exhaust system on this spectacular car, is 2nd to none.

At the time of this posting development has completed for the exhaust system, and pre-orders are now open. Systems will be delivered at the end of March and early April!

To add to the above post, we know some folks are going to ask about OEM valve compatability.

We have chosen to use pneumatic valves in this system and here is why. It is no secret that the factory exhaust valves do not follow the drivers commands. When you put the car in sport or sport plus the valve does not fully open or only opens at certain RPMs. At Valvetronic Designs our mission is to provide enthusiast with the ultimate experience, that is why giving the driver the strict control over the exhaust system allows for a more dynamic and better sound solution for the platform.

Here is a for instance, let's say you have a free flow downpipe installed, and you're starting the car in the morning in your neighborhood. The factory valve parameters would not allow you to close the exhaust valves upon initial start up. But the Valvetronic Design system allows to pneumatically close the exhaust before that initial cold start limiting the first two or three seconds of cold start and dropping the sound levels by almost 15 dB initial start. We can guarantee you this will save you from very angry neighbors and HOA complaints.These few seconds count. On the other side, let's say you want to have a really aggressive cold start and you wanna flex to your friends with how bad ass your M240i sounds in comparison to theirs with other exhaust systems. You can open the valves fully before that start and get the most aggressive sound instead of the factory valves, fluctuating.

We have done countless poles and studied what enthusiast are truly looking. This research has led us to construct the system in particular way. For those folks whom do not love the usage of the remote, you're able to program the exhaust remote to your garage door buttons in order to not have a key fob. This system truly has no compromises!

Hi,

Can the pneumatic valves be controlled by the bmw modes or do you have to use your remote dongle?

Sounds great, like the other person asked do we have to use your controller with the valves or is it compatible with the stock valve controller. Problem in the 240 is the 22s were the only ones with a 12v in the trunk. 23 or newer we would have to route it to the phone charger area up front.

The system can be hardwired to power in the trunk. There's tons of access back there. Once you use the system outside of the factory valve control, you will forget that the factory valves ever existed! Additionally, it allows you to control if you want pops and cracks or just raw aggressive sound with no overrun.

Additionally, Here is how you can get 10% back on your exhaust once you order! We know the system is very expensive system and figured this would be a nice incentive for you guys to enjoy!

How does it control the pops and cracks or stop overrun?

Any ETA on a high flow downpipe vid?

Thanks!

How much louder is this Valvetronic system versus the Dinan system?

I’m finding my G42 with the Dinan (flaps fully open) and an AA DP to be a bit lacking in sound versus my F22 FBO.
