The Active Autowerke N52 Performance Exhaust Header is specifically designed for BMW chassis which utilize the N52 inline 6-cylinder engine. With our performance header for the N52, you will be able to increase the exhaust flow of your BMW while gaining additional power u2013 something that is difficult to accomplish on these vehicles.
This header was engineered to promote optimum flow and eliminate any restrictions that could possibly rob the engine of extra horsepower. Available for a number of BMW applications, the Active Autowerke N52 Performance Exhaust Header should be one of the first upgrades owners elect to make. Not to mention, the tremendous effects can be felt almost immediately.

Created With Performance In Mind
As is the goal with building any header, the purpose of designing the N52 Performance Header was increase horsepower and improve overall performance. Our header does a tremendous job of freeing up untapped horsepower that the BMW N52 is capable of producing. After many dyno runs and recorded results, the data validates the Active Autowerke N52 Performance Header as must-have BMW performance part for a noticeable and powerful upgrade.
Material & Durability
Suitable for either naturally aspirated or supercharged applications, the N52 Header by Active Autowerke is made entirely of 100% 304 stainless steel. With this header, worrying about durability is a thing of the past.
Installation
Is installing the header difficult to do? Not at all! Robust exhaust flanges with recessed mounting holes make the installation of your N52 Performance Header a breeze. With a few quick turns of a ratchet, you will be well on your way to feeling the additional horsepower.
NOTE:u00a0Active Autowerke GUARANTEES that each and every N52 Performance Header will be a precise fit. Every Active Autowerke N52 Header is test-fitted on our N52 motor jig as part of our quality control.
Hardware:
As far as mounting hardware is concerned, this system is absolutely complete. The BMW N52 engine uses a single-use oval shape gasket to help seal the exhaust manifold against the exhaust port u2013 a floating design that also self-centers the exhaust flange as it is being torqued. Reuse of this gasket is NOT SUGGESTED which is why we provide you with SIX new gaskets as part of the installation hardware.
Also included are two fiber gaskets for where the header meets the remaining sections of the exhaust system. Copper locking nuts for the header to mount against the cylinder head and mounting bolts w/nuts to secure the header to the exhaust system are included as well.u00a0
NOTE:u00a0The factory exhaust catalysts MUST be removed in the process, making this solution recommended for off-road and racing applications ONLY.There will be a CEL without Active Autowerke software upgrade

Active Autowerke BMW B58 Catted Downpipe – now includes turbo flange gasket
SHIPPING NOW. Please note that we install the gasket into the downpipe flange as some customers were damaging the gasket on installation.
NOTE: Fitment applies to US model cars only unless specifically stated. We cannot guarantee fitment to non-US model cars.
BMW introduced a new valvet ronic, single turbo version of its direct-injection engine for the later F-Chassis models beginning in 2016 and carried over to the G-chassis models. The Active Autowerke B58 downpipe for the M340i and M440i helps unleash some of the potential that is restricted by the OEM downpipe.
Turbochargers are powered by spent exhaust gases created during the combustion process. The quicker these gases are evacuated, the better. Unfortunately, the factory down pipe in the B58 is quite restrictive, which results in slower exhaust gases and slower turbo spool.
The Active Autowerke B58 Signature down pipe utilizes 4.5 diameter stainless steel piping in order to provide more power, quicker spool, and extreme durability. It then tapers down to 3.5″ where we’ve incorporated a stainless flex joint and then down to 80mm to meet the OEM exhaust system. We never drop the diameter less than the stock diameter of 80mm.
This variant includes a 4.5″ Active Aflow catalytic converter that will NOT produce a CEL for cat efficiency guaranteed by Active Autowerke (full replacement within first two years of ownership).
The Active Aflow super high output catalytic converter features full 304 stainless steel construction, including the substrate. Active Aflow Catalytic Converters are EPA registered and compliant in 49 states and fully OBD2 compliant, perfect for use on 1996 and newer vehicles. Active’s proprietary precious metal loading technology ensures greatly reduced emissions, eliminating most “Check Engine Lights” due to cat efficiency errors. These high flow catalytic converters outperform stock converters and provide a reliable solution to the most common catalytic converter problems.
The Active Aflow Catalytic Converters are rated for engines putting out up to 800 horsepower while maintaining a high flow capacity. The reduced back-pressure from this high flow catalytic converter will allow you to maximize your engines horsepower without the harmful emissions. Say goodbye to Check Engine Lights for cat efficiency and failed emissions tests!
Please Note: These catalytic converters are not legal for use on vehicles registered in the state of California as a result of California Vehicle Code Section 27156 and 38391.
NOTE:Federal law prohibits the tampering of an emissions control device. Mobile Source Enforcement Memorandum 1A, allows for aftermarket parts to be used in the repair or replacement of emissions control systems, provided the emissions aren’t adversely affected. There is no mention or reference to cell density or converter volume dimension. The Active Aflow catalytic converter will produce emissions that will meet the standards set by the EPA, not CARB.
