Developed for performance and precision
R&D and 3D scanning – Stone Exhaust engineers scan OEM components to analyse pipe diameter, routing and bend geometry on the BMW B48 G30 G31 520i, then iterate using 3D flow simulation to optimise exhaust gas velocity, pressure zones and thermal management.
7 axis CNC bending – State of the art forming achieves up to 98 percent roundness with minimal outer bore wear at 180 degrees. This reduces turbulence and helps prevent weld stress points. Combined with 3D scanning, the result is exceptional accuracy with tolerances targeted under 0.025 mm.
Advanced welding – Crisscross and overlapping techniques are used on high heat flanges for strength and durability, while direct spot welding via mechanical arms delivers deeper, more consistent penetration. The outcome is a robust, beautifully finished BMW G30 G31 520i performance exhaust.
