Nice! I’ve got active autowerkes downpipes & midpipe on my M3 CS

Is this the single midpipe? Any reason you picked this over equal length?

Hi Chris, I'm going to be doing my install solo. I noticed you started the cutting with the stock muffler installed but later removed the entire midpipe+exhaust. I'd prefer to leave the stock muffler on since I'm installing solo. Did it just end up being too much of a pain to leave the muffler installed when you were trying to cut? Thanks!

@m2comp369 4 жыл бұрын

Clearly sounds better, but I wouldn't stop there! Any plans to change (even though you've painted it black) the rear section? IMO it will further enhance the sound but also the look.

Next up is more likely to be a downpipe to start chasing power! We can always do aftermarket tips for the muffler.

@@TheBimmerBarn I've added an Eisenmann slip-on system to my M2 Comp. IMO If you're chasing power I would suggest a stage 1 tune. Nothing comes close in terms of dollar per KW. I'm waiting for the warranty period to expire, do the tune, charge pipes and fit some wider, stickier rubber on all round. 500 hp in a car of this size - I can't wait!

Hi Chris, I wonder if your M2 comp originally had GPF or not. Your OEM sound seems already better than most of the European KZfaqrs demonstrating M2 Comp OEM exhaust sound. I was confused when the dealer says my M2 Comp has no GPF while I initially thought it has...

@TheBimmerBarn 2 жыл бұрын

GPF isn't required here in the states so the exhaust configuration from factory is a little different!

Nice tutorial vid! Question, you guys in US? You dont have the OPF filters right?

@TheBimmerBarn 4 жыл бұрын

We don't have OPF system required here (yet). But for most OPF vehicles, the system is integrated into the catalytic converter, so if you do a cat-back system you won't need to reprogram.

@4gosselin 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Chris, do you think the AA midpipe is enough to transform the sound. Not interested in downpipe, but might consider adding a Remus or similar, but I'd like to keep it simple. Also was that Stock Muffler in the video painted black? I think it looked much better. I have a stage 1 tune, but just need to give that exhaust a bit more.

@TheBimmerBarn 3 жыл бұрын

Yes the rear muffler was painted, helps it disappear under the bumper. The sound is great, like 30-50% of what you would get with a downpipe

after install was there any weird resonance from cold start as it transitioned into the warm idle? I get a weird hum/shimmy burp during the changeover

Possibly the factory valves changing over and rattling after cold start?
