For the past decade, the Masata brand has been synonymous with performance in the European aftermarket scene. From chargepipes to downpipes, their line of products have enabled thousands of vehicle owners to run at their peak performance. In particular, their chargepipes made of aircraft grade aluminium have always been a very popular ‘go-to-part’ for those who just started their modding journey. Another popular part that has been receiving rave reviews from the community are their downpipes, which from what we understand are all individually handcrafted to achieve the quality desired.
The one problem was that they have mainly focused on the European market for the past few years. If you were to search up terms such as N54 chargepipes or B58 downpipes on the popular BMW forums, chances are you would find a North American car owner lamenting about the need to pay import fees or extra shipping costs to get these Masata parts shipped over to the States or Canada direct from their base which is just South of London. Chargepipes for example, may cost an extra $30 to ship across the Atlantic – whilst not exorbitant, many would just prefer just getting it from a local dealer that offers free shipping instead.
It was thus no surprise that their recent announcement on expanding to the North American market was met with quite a bit of excitement from performance enthusiasts over here. At the time of writing, they have already partnered up with major distributors such as ECS Tuning and Extreme Power House. ECS in particular does seem to hold a large amount of stock from what we can see on their website, so that is bound to further increase accessibility to the Masata brand for the North American community.
