I'd go with a more reputable company like Active Autowerkes who has a equal length midpipe and X-pipe system. They are the ones who came up with the equal length design for the S55 and made it sound good and same with the S58. Pair that with a ZERO burble tune and active sound delete, you have yourself a really good sounding modern turbocharged BMW
@@UnicornpirateAA actually wasn’t the ones who came up with the EL design. A couple guys on the forums did all the leg work and AA was stalking that thread then released their version later.
@@G82Watts already heard that new one from AA and it sounds bad compared the equal length system from RES. (and this comes from a Active Autowerke- fan)
Can I please confirm your thoughts on X-pipe vs Single below 4K RPM - you think single is quieter with valves closed with generally less rasp across all modes/valve settings? Also, are the burbles the same on both or are they louder/more obvious on one setup over the other?
I actually think both sound great for an S58. I would love to get mine to sound like that but I leased mine and with only 14 months left or so, I'm going to wait for the next one
Fi experimented putting the x pipe with the single mid, and it didn't produce good results. They also tried the setup with and without the resonator and didn't see much of a difference. Plus without the resonator, you can get louder sound especially for those that don't want to touch the stock DPs.
Nah man, still wack. Only way to make I6 sound better is doing single turbo with equal lenght exhaust manifold merging into single downpipe. With stock turbos equal midpipes are closest to it but still far behind. As far as i didn’t mix it up: S55 and S58 sound is bad because of 2 turbos and unequal length both exhaust manifolds and downpipes. You have turbo, exhaust manifold and downpipe for each 3 cylinders. Two downpipes are connected to one midpipe and so on. Because of this, these engines sounds like two separate I3 engines working next to each other (listen to GR Yaris revs, does it remind you of somethig?). If you would have equal length downpipes which is hard to fit you would have 50% of what it should sound like. On the other hand N54, N55, B58 sound is bad only because of unequal lenght exhaust manifold since they are single turbo.
It’s sounds so bad because it’s undersquare. All of BMWs turbo inline 6s sound bad because they are all undersquare. You need higher rpm’s to make an inline sound good.
FI Exhaust is located in Taipei City Taiwan which is now part of China...... so for all intents and purposes, it is a Chineses product.... albeit a very quality Chinese bit of kit....
Completely off topic but I think you should try to collaborate with the UA-camr ItsJusta6 he just got his first bmw (g82 m4 Isle of Man Green 6 speed manual transmission on his channel ) he knows absolutely nothing about BMWs but I think you guys would make some insane content together especially with his other cars.

What setup do you guys like better? The dual mid or the single mid?
Equal length dual mid from the brand "RES" sounds better than this single midpipe set up.
Single sounds so much better ... much deeper sound ❤
Single
@@VehicleVirals single sounds deeper and cleaner..
@@VehicleVirals single Tigere
Great comparison. I think you’re the first to compare single vs dual midpipes on the G87.
Personally I prefer the single.
Dude it sounds amazing and Hella deeper plus it kinda sounds like a n54 straight piped
Thank you for always supporting the brand! 🙌🏼 Great comparison.
RES (the brand) equal length system is still the best sounding. Almost no one knows it ! ☹️Its an equal length system (dual) with an X pipe.

I have it on my car, and it's pretty good actually. But you still get a little bit raspy with the dp.
AA just came out with a v2 new equal length setup and it's the best by far.
@@G82Watts already heard that new one from AA and it sounds bad compared the equal length system from RES. (and this comes from a Active Autowerke- fan)
I want a G8x so bad😭😭😭
Still has that goofy rasp up top. Better but far from good IMO. Good comparison though 👍
I love the single pipe gives it a deeper wot! Good choice brotha!🎉
My G80 runs AA catted dps, AA single resonated mid, stock muffler. I do have a valve controller set at 25% open. I love the sound.
Did you still have the high-flo downpipes for the midpipe testing?
Yeah
Stock DP’s with a single mid pipe and stock valves 100% open will sound the best on S58. Love the single midpipe!
Love that exhaust Tigere. Amazing papo..
Wooow, what a nice Bimmer. Goals for sure, I'm happy with mine and thankful just to have one but man, it's addictive
Apex Resonated catless Downpipes with an equal length mid pipe is the best setup for an even N55 style tone with no rasp
Best fix ive found so far is the valvetronic titanium midpipe. It makes up for the unequal length side, then goes into a single.

I like the single midpipe better. Sounds smoother.
what are thoswe welds under the G bro... example the exhaust is perfect, but that reinforcement plate under the engine looks awful and its oem.
Team Fi ftw! Single definitely sounds smoother than before but as you said always that top end rasp lol
💯
Even just a resonator delete on this car isn’t bad. Surprisingly throaty and deep compared to S55 resonator deletes.
Sounds like an M50 M52.
I really don't mind the B58/S58 exhaust note.
They both sound great.
Hurricane headed your way, so you and the family be safe Tigere.
bro looking ripped💪🏻💪🏻 4:52
Great video I’m now sold on single
Dang bro, I remember when your channel got only a few thousand subs
I wonder how the x pipe on the back portion of this single mid pipe will sound better it will make it smoother
This, plus a resonator.
Fi experimented putting the x pipe with the single mid, and it didn't produce good results. They also tried the setup with and without the resonator and didn't see much of a difference. Plus without the resonator, you can get louder sound especially for those that don't want to touch the stock DPs.
Seems like H pipe is the move. I believe that’s how the miltek system is.
I went single from IRL and with stock exhaust it sounds amazing
Love the m2 content
Def sounds a little better with the deeper sound imo
Schweeeeeeet either way though
Cool and nice the e90 is opened video soon
Single sounds cleaner to me. its subtle but the dual is more rowdy
which downpipes are these exactly ?
Fi catted 200 cell
Mierda Tigere sounds better mi Hermano. Amazing. Deeper sound open that bad boy up, lol the verbals shots fired lol. Sounds great.
The valvetronic system is the best imo
Sent in the submission... Least clapped of the 3 5 Series...
The new v2 AA equal length midpipe is the best.
I liked it before and I also like it now 🤩
Sounds great now
i need a video on the 2007 650i bmw please all mods and tunes 6 series owners are waiting for it
Sounds much better 👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧
Don’t make car louder just make turbo louder! ❤
Bro if ever get a chance to come there I gotta ride in the M2
Is he using the stock muffler ?
No
Ngl it sounds like my n55 with down pipe and stock exhaust
Unrelated but should I get a 370z or a 335i?
I honeslty like the single way more
The cost of some welds and pipe is insane these days.
It’s bout the same but I’ll rather have the single for sure 👌🏾
Whats nice about these single midpipe setups on the S55 and S58 to me, is that it sounds more like the S54 😅 is that just me????
The pops (burbles) sound better on the dual. However, the car sound better on the single pipe.
2:30 were u tryna hit at valvetronic?

Right. As powerful as the s58 is, I cant stand how bad they sound.
This is the comment I was looking for. Right on brother
still "wack".. says the npc driving a toyota corolla.
Single turbo is amazing but u really just need intakes for that "whooshh" sound
It’s sounds so bad because it’s undersquare. All of BMWs turbo inline 6s sound bad because they are all undersquare. You need higher rpm’s to make an inline sound good.
Unrelated to the car... I really liked the magician smoke show in and out!
🙏🏼
Who needs a resinators when you got this
Manuel Gateway
And like most things in life “it’s better to be single” 😜😂
I FOUND THE BEST GRILL FOR THE M2 ITS THE ADRO FRONT GRILL, YOU GUYS ARE WELCOME
Single turbo is the way if you want a good sounding turbo bmw i6
Dual pipe more good sound 👌
The constant off throttle burples on these engines sounds so bad ...
Def sounds better
Nah M2 got the best body hands down out of all bmw’s
You can tell a difference at lower rpm but your flybys sound “almost” the same. Barely different. Overall I like the single better
Schaefer Plains
Still needs a single turbo kit
Runolfsson Lights
Already sent it😂😂
Olson Crescent
Jacinthe Islands
Probably it would sound even better when the last part of the exhaust was also completely single pipe…
Tod Underpass
Do you accept Mini's for your subscriber build "chat"? If so, I'll send my F54 in.
Single pipe ftw
This would be sick
Zander Light
Bernier Hills
the x pipe was the problem trust
did you just do the Trump "China" haha that was epic bro. Great video I just ordered a 25 G80 M3
Appreciate you watching. Congrats on the M3. If you ever need anything, feel free to reach out.
Dual mid fash
Sounds more like b58 now. Needs a resonater
Don't think that's a bad thing.
No it's not bad I have an f22 m240
It's better, but it still needs a single turbo
Dual mid , si bueno , single mid , no bueno
FI Exhaust is located in Taipei City Taiwan which is now part of China...... so for all intents and purposes, it is a Chineses product.... albeit a very quality Chinese bit of kit....
Taiwan is NOT part of China you dingbat!
Sounds good but not as good as the car looks... Still hearing that rasp albeit deeper sounding...
Where is the E30?
it sounds better from the front but thats a BMW thing except their V8's

can you say big beefy midpipe one more time?
Sure
Sibyl Junction
Single sounds better imo
Hey bro i needed some help with my 335i n54 how do i contact you?
Bro go to a fucking mechanic, you are asking a youtubet for help 😂😂😂😂
IDK, doesn't sound that different to me but I'm listening to it online sooooo...
Yeah, in person the difference is much bigger. Unfortunately the camera mic cuts out a good chunk of the frequencies.
Single for sure...
Bye, Bye warranty !
Single sounds way better!!!
