Aftermarket exhaust and BMW Warranty
I'm interested in getting an Armytrix exhaust for my M550, but don't want to do it if it voids BMWs warranty on the engine/turbo. It is from my understanding that installing a new exhaust could potentially give the car a little bit more horsepower/torque. Obviously, that affects the engine. Could BMW void the warranty the covers the engine and turbo because of an aftermarket exhaust?

Why don't you ask them and be upfront with them and the you will know where you stand.
Get in writing if you can so should you have issues you are covered. Better to know up front exactly where you stand. Then you canmake an informed decision on whether you want to proceed. That's what I would do . |

Aftermarket exhausts usually gives you more hp because it helps the car breathe better. It is however minimal, it's not like you end up going from M550i to M5 AC Schnitzer performance. Turbos benefit from less back pressure.
I would be more worried about voiding warranty if I was installing something more restrictive than stock. Just leave the downpipe alone and you should be good. Other than that, do what AP said about contacting the dealer just to be sure. |

Aftermarket exhaust may provide minimal power increase. It's real benefit is sound and in some cases the look.
If the exhaust install is done correctly and the system used is proper for the car, you should be OK with warranty. No one can tell you 100%, however if BMW tried to deny a warranty claim they'd have to have good reason to do so and be able to provide evidence. The Magnuson Moss warranty act is on your side and makes it a little more difficult for bmw to simply deny warranty with no basis. BTW, you realize that BMW makes a performance exhaust for your M550?

Best answer is to speak with your SA. But I don't think an exhaust system would void your warranty unless it is the cause for any engine/turbo problems. We offer Armytrix exhaust system on our site let me know if you got any more question.

I feel like the stock exhaust on m550 is considered performance. It has valves and pops and crackles nicely when engine and exhaust are warmed up. I'm going to leave stock exhaust and go with an x pipe which just removes resonators.
