COMPATIBLE: (1.5L - B38K15T0)

2014 - 2020 BMW i8 

The BMW i8 lacks raw sound from the factory. With our full exhaust system, we have fixed that. When BMW i8 came out the Valvetronic Designs team always believed there was incredible sound potential lurking beneath those exceptional looks. The three-cylinder turbo-charged configuration when allowed to breathe properly gives a somewhat half Porsche sound which is very unique and very enjoyable. The system is comprised of a free flow front section and valved cat-back system that integrates into the factory valves and allows for sport mode to open the valves, and to retain a quiet Eco mode experience with the valves closed. Are you ready to make your i8 sound as good as it looks?

To achieve this raw and deep sound we utilize a 3.0 inch construction all the way through the system to the exhaust tip. This uncorrupted piping lends itself to a very enjoyable deep sound experience. You get aggressive shift pops on the changes and aggressive overrun when coming off the throttle. The sound is very enjoyable inside and outside the cabin. Be ready to shock some passersby with how good your i8 sounds!

In-House Development at Valvetronic Designs: Pioneering Performance Exhaust Systems

At Valvetronic Designs, we take pride in crafting performance exhaust systems that combine innovation, precision, and unmatched quality. Our in-house development process is built on cutting-edge technology and rigorous testing to deliver the ultimate driving experience. From 3D scanning to sound and performance optimization, every step in our process is engineered for excellence.

1. 3D Scanning: Precision from the Start

The foundation of our exhaust system development begins with precise 3D scanning. By capturing detailed measurements of the vehicle’s underbody, we ensure our exhaust designs integrate seamlessly with the car’s architecture. This process eliminates guesswork and allows us to create systems that fit perfectly, enhancing both performance and aesthetics.

2. CAD Design: From Concept to Reality

Once we have accurate data, our team uses advanced CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software to conceptualize and develop the exhaust system. Each system is designed with both form and function in mind, ensuring a balance of aesthetics and performance. Our engineers focus on optimizing airflow, minimizing backpressure, and creating valve systems that allow the driver to control the sound and performance with the push of a button.

3. In-House Prototyping: Bringing Ideas to Life

Prototyping is where our designs take shape. Using state-of-the-art fabrication equipment, we build prototypes of our exhaust systems in-house. This hands-on approach allows us to refine each design, ensuring it meets our high standards for quality and performance. Our team meticulously inspects and tests each prototype, making adjustments as needed to guarantee that the final product is flawless.

4. Sound & Performance Testing: Tuning for Perfection

What sets Valvetronic Designs apart is our commitment to perfecting both the sound and performance of our exhaust systems. We don’t just aim for power gains; we focus on creating a signature sound that enhances the driving experience. Using our in-house testing facilities, we measure sound levels, optimize valve operation, and analyze performance data to ensure each system delivers the ideal blend of performance and acoustics.
