Hi all, I'm new to the performance car world. Came across the valved exhaust system concept Today. Just wondering if our m240 has this? Also, if I were to upgrade the stock exhaust, will this have an impact? TIA!

The M240i does have an active valve exhaust. It is on the right-hand side and opens/closes depending on your driving mode. Also depends on what you mean by upgrading your exhaust. If you change out the muffler in the back then yes cause the valve is after the muffler. If you just do a downpipe or midpipes then it doesn't affect the active valve exhaust.

Ah Thanks! Just that I was thinking about getting something to make it sounds more aggressive. I feel like the stock exhaust does not sound as good as the supra although they share the same engine. Also wanted to fit a quad tip haha

I recommend you start with a catted downpipe, if you want more sound, switch to an axle-back or catback. You can still keep the valves with aftermarket exhausts

Agreed. I've been searching a good set of tips for the car but then I thought maybe I should just put on a new exhaust to have better looking tips and a better sound. I'm totally a newbee to this. Is there any good catback you'd recommend for 240? Welcome input from anyone. I'm sure I'm not alone here. TIA!

Still too new that's why I recommend starting with the downpipe.

We should be seeing more released by mid summer

Ah makes sense. I feel like the downpipes are not out for g42 either. I did see many options for the new m340 and m440. Just me being newb again not sure if they'd fit but thinking they might as g42 shares the same chasis and engine. Thanks!

The downpipes that are designated for the Supra and M340i should all fit. I'm running the AA catted DP and didn't have any fitment issues.

Exhaust systems apparently are not a direct fit and require some additional development work.

Got it. Thanks for the input! Wondering if there are cheaper options that won't throw a CELL tho. AA is kinda pricyyyyy

No other way, unfortunately. You need GESI cats (active autowerke) or HJS (fabspeed) and both are pricey.
