2020-2023 BMW F95 X5M / F96 X6M S63 Valved Catback Exhaust
Upgrade the sound and presence of your BMW M SUV with the 3SD Performance Valved Catback Exhaust for the 2020-2023 BMW F95 X5M and F96 X6M.
Designed for models equipped with BMW's S63 4.4L twin-turbo V8, this performance exhaust delivers a deeper, more aggressive exhaust note while retaining valve control for quieter everyday driving.
Whether your X5M or X6M is a daily driver or part of a modified S63 build, the 3SD Performance exhaust gives BMW's twin-turbo V8 a more aggressive sound without sacrificing everyday usability.
Unleash the Sound of the S63 V8
The F95 X5M and F96 X6M deliver serious performance from the factory, but the stock exhaust system keeps much of the S63 V8's character subdued.
The 3SD Performance S63 Valved Exhaust produces a deeper idle, stronger V8 tone and a more aggressive exhaust note as RPM and engine load increase.
Open the valves when you want maximum sound. Close them when you want a more refined exhaust note for cruising and everyday driving.

Valved Exhaust Control
A valved exhaust gives your X5M or X6M the flexibility to change its exhaust character depending on how you're driving.
Valves Closed
Closing the valves reduces exhaust volume for a more refined sound during everyday driving, highway cruising and situations where you want to keep the vehicle quieter.
Valves Open
Open the valves for a louder, deeper and more aggressive S63 V8 exhaust note.
This combination makes a valved catback an excellent option for an X5M or X6M that serves as both a daily driver and a high-performance vehicle.

A performance catback exhaust provides a more aggressive exhaust character on an otherwise stock vehicle while also complementing the increased airflow and sound of a modified S63 build.
Installation

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this exhaust fit the F95 BMW X5M?
Yes. This exhaust is designed for compatible 2020-2023 F95-generation BMW X5M models equipped with the S63 engine.
Does it fit the F96 BMW X6M?
Yes. Compatible 2020-2023 F96 X6M applications are included within the listed fitment range.
Is this a valved X5M/X6M exhaust?
Yes. The system uses exhaust valves to provide both quieter and more aggressive exhaust modes.
Does this fit the 2024+ X5M or X6M?
No. The 2024+ facelifted X5M and X6M use the newer S68 powertrain and should use the appropriate S68-compatible exhaust system.
Is tuning required?
ECU tuning is generally not required solely for installation of a catback exhaust system.
Will a catback exhaust cause a check-engine light?
A properly installed catback system that retains the vehicle's factory emissions equipment would not normally be expected to trigger an emissions-related check-engine light by itself.
Can this exhaust be used with aftermarket downpipes?
It can be paired with compatible aftermarket downpipes. Changing the downpipes can substantially increase exhaust volume and alter the overall exhaust tone.
