2012 E70 X5M with slip on downpipes?

9vapors · 08-10-2018, 04:29 PM

I thought only the F85 downpipes had the slip on end of the downpipes... and a 2012 would have the 2 bolt. Mine has the slip on ones muffler side. Do the F85 downpipes fit in this case? Please help, I want to get them ordered! Thanks!

Mine were two bolt. Check your VIN against RealOEM.

Here's mine. Sounds like you need to disassemble to be sure.

If you only do a quick look under the truck you will see what looks like slip on clamps, but the actual down pipe bolt/gaskets mount higher up and are covered by the metal stiffening plate. Maybe this is causing your confusion.
