Your vehicle.
All our exhausts for this generation, version by version, are brought together on one page: BMW M2 G87 exhaust system.
The M2 G87 takes the S58 from the M3 and puts it in a compact rear-wheel-drive car, with a manual transmission still on the price list. The Rog exhaust is made specifically for it, from the very first 2023 cars onwards.
- Body style
- G87 coupé
- Years covered
- Since 2023
- Engine
- S58: 3.0-litre twin-turbo straight six
- Factory output
- 460 hp and 550 Nm
- Emissions control
- Catalytic converters and particulate filter (OPF)
- Factory valves
- Yes, controlled by the drive modes
What holds back the factory sound
The S58 has all the makings of a great engine, but the G87 has to meet Euro 6d standards: with its particulate filter and an imposing muffler, it starts up more quietly than an ordinary compact.
What the Rog exhaust changes
With the Rog exhaust and the valves open, the M2 regains the presence you expect from a BMW M, and the configuration chooses its voice; with the valves closed, it keeps a sound close to factory. Power only changes with the downpipes and a remap: here are the published figures.

Your VIN, entered when you order, confirms the version before manufacturing; the other BMW M models with the S58 or S55 engine have their own guides, listed below.
Closely related versions have their own guide: BMW M2 Competition F87 3.0T, BMW M3 G80 / M4 G82 3.0T, BMW X3 M F97 3.0T.
Choosing your exhaust.
Five decisions, in this order: each one builds on the one before, and the last no longer affects the sound. Before you start, here is what you are buying.
Your exhaust, in two parts
The cat-back is the complete exhaust system
Everything you see under the car, from the end of the front section to the tips: pipes, mufflers, valves. It is what creates the sound, and it is what you configure first.
The front section, where the catalytic converter sits
On this twin-turbo engine, it is the two downpipes, one at the outlet of each turbo, with the factory catalytic converter: the second restriction in the exhaust after the muffler. Replacing them is an option (step 3).
-
Step 1 of 5: Sound: the voice of your car
An exhaust's sound is shaped in three places: its design and its character, which you choose here; its intensity, which depends on the front section (step 3); and the volume of the moment, which you set with the valves (step 4). Start with the voice: it is the choice that matters most.
The design
Standard
Included
The S58's most direct sound: deep, raw and with plenty of presence. Its twin-turbo character comes through unfiltered.
Equal Length
Optional
Both pipes are the same length before they merge: the pulses fall into step, the note rises and becomes more even. The S58 sings like a true straight six.
Equal Length + Z-pipe
Optional
The Z-pipe adds a crossover of the flows to the Equal Length: the highest-pitched, most exotic note in the range. Our most accomplished exhaust for the M2.
The character
At the same price, two characters: the straight pipe, to hear the raw sound of the engine, unfiltered; the resonator, for a rounder, slightly softer voice. With either one, the exhaust stays fully sporty. The resonator can also be fitted with the Equal Length and the Z-pipe.
Pure · straight pipe
Same price
Round · resonator
Same price
Our advice. Listen to the designs first, then choose the character: the straight pipe if you want your engine unfiltered, the resonator if you prefer a rounder voice. Equal Length and Z-pipe for BMW M.
Listen
Standard Valves open. Recorded on an S58. Similar sound on the S55. -
Step 2 of 5: Material: stainless steel or titanium
The material changes three things: weight, sound and durability. It is a genuine technical choice, not just a matter of looks.
304 stainless steel
Base price
- Weight
- Baseline
- Sound
- Full and rounded
- Durability
- Withstands salt and winter
Tough, corrosion-proof, with a full, rounded sound. The choice of most of our customers.
Titanium
Optional
- Weight
- Around 40% lighter
- Sound
- Metallic, crystal-clear
- Durability
- Does not rust
Around 40% lighter than stainless steel for the same design, with a more metallic sound that turns crystal-clear at high revs. You then choose it in one of three colours, at the same price (step 5).
Our advice. Stainless steel for a first purchase and everyday use; titanium if you are chasing every kilo and want a higher-pitched note at high revs. Over time, both last. Stainless steel or titanium: what really changes.
-
Step 3 of 5: Front section: sports catalytic converter or decat
On your car, the front section is the two downpipes, one at the outlet of each turbo: that is where the catalytic converters sit. After the exhaust itself, it is the part that matters most, for sound as well as for breathing. It is optional; on the product page, this option is called “Manifold”: it is the same part, catalytic converter included.
Cat-back only
Included
7/10Factory catalytic converter retained
You keep the factory front section. It already makes it a different car: most of our customers start here.
200-cell sports catalytic converter
Optional
8/10Road use and inspection
Emissions control stays in place, flow improves markedly and the sound gains presence. Our choice for the road.
100-cell sports catalytic converter
Optional
9/10Inspection: depends on the vehicle
Half as many cells: more breathing and more aggression at high revs.
Decat
Optional
10/10Track use
No emissions control: maximum flow and raw sound, for the track.
Sound intensity, on a scale of 0 to 10
- 10/10Decat downpipe + Rog cat-back
- 9/10100-cell sports catalytic converter + Rog cat-back
- 8/10200-cell sports catalytic converter + Rog cat-back
- 7/10Rog cat-back only, factory catalytic converter retained
- 3/10Factory exhaust, for comparison
Valves open. With the valves closed, every configuration becomes discreet again.
Our advice. Your reference point is a score out of 10: 7 with the exhaust alone, 8 to 9 with the 200-cell sports catalytic converter, 10 with the decat version, for the track. With a remap by a tuner, it is also the front section that unlocks the power (see “Your vehicle”).
The downpipes with sports catalytic converters, as shown on the product page. What about the engine warning light? With a sports catalytic converter, it can come on with some engines: the sensor placed after the catalytic converter measures a different level of emissions control from the original. It is not a mechanical fault, and a remap by a tuner sorts it out. The decat version almost always triggers it. Passing inspection with a sports exhaust.

Step 4 of 5: Valves: our remote or your factory valves
The valves set the volume at every moment: closed, the gases pass through the muffler and the car keeps a sound close to the factory one; open, they take the shortest route. All that remains is to choose who controls them.
Rog system and remote
Included
The exhaust comes with our valves fitted and a two-button remote, open and closed; a small control unit fits in the trunk. The valves stay in the position you choose, whatever the drive mode: open, they stay open; closed, they stay closed.
Your factory valves
Included
- If your car has factory valves
- Controlled by the drive modes
If your car has factory valves, we deliver the exhaust with mounting points for them: your garage refits your valves there, and everything works as before, through the drive modes.
Our advice. The remote if you want to decide for yourself, at any time; your factory valves if you value the standard drive modes. For inspection, present the car with the valves closed. On track, open them: that is where they come into their own.
On the highway, with the valves closed, the gases pass through the muffler, designed for cruising: no drone at a steady speed. You open up when you feel like it, not when the highway decides for you. Why our exhausts stay calm on the highway.

Step 5 of 5: Looks: titanium colour and tips
The last step, and the freest. The titanium colour and the tips are purely aesthetic choices: they change nothing about the sound or the performance of the exhaust. Choose them with your eyes.
The titanium colour
Three colours, at the same price: brushed, gold or purple. They only apply to titanium; in stainless steel, the exhaust keeps the colour of the steel.
Brushed 
Gold 
Purple The tips
Rog tips in chrome, gloss black or blued titanium, included in the price, or carbon tips with the M logo, as an option: forged carbon, black carbon or carbon and titanium. You can also order the exhaust without tips.
Chrome 
Gloss black 
Blued titanium 
Forged carbon 
Black carbon 
Carbon and titanium
Your choices carry over to the product page: only the finishes, your VIN and the cart remain.
Three set-ups, three uses.
If you are still unsure, start from how you use the car: here are the three set-ups we recommend most often for your car.
-
Everyday
- Stainless steel
- Standard
- Cat-back only
- Rog remote
Your car finds its voice, the factory emissions control stays in place, and you open the valves when you decide.

Questions.
What does an M2 G87 sound like with a Rog exhaust?
With the valves closed, the car stays close to its factory sound. With the valves open, the engine takes on a full, sporty voice: 7 out of 10 on our scale with the exhaust alone, 8 to 9 with a sports catalytic converter, 10 with the decat, compared with 3 for the factory exhaust.
Straight pipe or resonator: which one should you choose?
The straight pipe keeps the engine's raw grain; the resonator rounds off the voice and softens it slightly. Both are the same price, and on our 0 to 10 scale the score does not change: the resonator works on the tone, not the volume. It can also be fitted with the Equal Length and the Z-pipe.
Which design should you choose: Standard, Equal Length or Equal Length with Z-pipe?
Standard for a deep, raw sound. Equal Length for a higher-pitched, more even straight six: it is the design that transforms the car's character the most. Add the Z-pipe and the note becomes the highest-pitched in the range, for those who want the most pronounced sound.
What about the particulate filter?
The Rog exhaust is fitted after the particulate filter, which stays in place: the factory emissions control is retained with the exhaust alone.
Can you pass vehicle inspection with a Rog exhaust on an M2 G87?
Present the car with the valves closed: it returns to a sound level close to factory. The exhaust alone, like the 200-cell sports catalytic converter, keeps emissions control in place; a 100-cell depends on the vehicle and the rules in your country, and the decat version is intended for the track.
Factory valves or Rog remote?
With your factory valves, it is the car, through its drive modes, that decides. With the Rog system, a two-button remote opens or closes them at any time, and they stay in the position you choose.
Does the exhaust drone on the highway?
No. With the valves closed, the gases pass through the whole muffler, and at a steady speed the cabin stays calm: our exhausts are designed to avoid that drone. You open up when you decide.
How is the Rog exhaust fitted on an M2 G87?
By your garage, with no welding or cutting: clamps, gaskets and around two hours on a lift are all it takes. The parts arrive ready to fit, with their fixings.
How long does it take to receive a Rog exhaust for an M2 G87?
Allow 20 working days from order confirmation to delivery, the time it takes to make your exhaust. Delivery is free and tracked from dispatch.
What warranty comes with a Rog exhaust for an M2 G87?
3 years, parts and workmanship, from the date of purchase. As for the BMW warranty: in Europe, a manufacturer cannot refuse it simply because a part from another brand has been fitted; it has to prove that the fault comes from that part.
A question before you order? Write to us.
The right choice depends on how you use your car and on the car itself. Ask the Rog Advisor or write to us: we reply in writing, within 24 hours, and we help you choose, including a cheaper option if that is what suits the way you drive.
Your VIN, in box E of your registration document, is all we need to check compatibility before manufacturing.
