Centre silencer Capristo BMW 428i F32/F33/F36

02BM02103004, 02BM02102012

Centre silencer for the BMW 428i in the F32, F33 and F36 bodies with the N20 or N26 four-cylinder. It sits in the middle of the exhaust run, where the factory puts its first and heaviest stage of damping.

Two versions

• Silencer only (02BM02103004);
• Version supplied without a certificate (02BM02102012).

The second is the freer of the two and is sold for closed-road use; check which one suits your country before ordering.

What changes

Opening up the middle section lets the rear silencer work with gas that has not already been smoothed out, which is why a centre silencer swap changes the character of the car more than its volume. It is also the part that removes most of the drone a four-cylinder sends into the cabin at cruising revs.

Material and build

T309 (1.4828) stainless steel, rated above 600 C, hand TIG welded and polished to a mirror finish in Sundern, Germany.
