F30 N55 Downpipe Install (VRSF)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 гру 2021
- Hey everyone!
In this video I will be showing how I installed a 4" VRSF Cat-less down-pipe on my 2015 BMW F30 335i with the N55 (Electronic Waste-gate). 2013 model 335i's have a pneumatic waste-gate that has a smaller 3.5" down-pipe. However, the process for installing either downpipe is pretty much the same as I demonstrate in the video. Just make sure to do your research and get the correct size down-pipe and not run into a mis order like my a$$. NOTE: I'm not a certified mechanic or do this as a profession.
Thanks for watching!

I had mechanic install a catless dp from vrsf on my 435i (f33) and man did the performance change. I also had installed a front mount intercooler, and chargepipe. I also tuned it to stage 2 using mhd and man it seemed like a whole different car. I think i went from 300hp to around 360hp. But the kicker was i couldn't handle the smell that the catless dp came with. Way to strong of a smell and plus it was my daily. I had to go back to stock but saving up for a high flow catted dp cause i miss those performance gains. Also my gas was running out far quicker on stage 2 so just something to think about
yea, tuning with added bolt ons is night and day in comparison to stock. Although ive never dyno'd this car, stage 2 with required supporting mods makes more than 360whp on 93 octane which is over 400hp on the motor. Next up will pure turbo upgrade and a high pressure pump. I am looking to get to 400whp one day. Good luck and thank you for watching!
just got a f30, mines a 2013 with a PWG. So I’m about to order the 3.5 inch for the N55. cool video brother!
that's awesome my bro! keep in mind this video is for EWG so only use it it as reference and not an exact fit. the installation method is similar but not the same. Thank you for watching and good luck!
New subscriber. Great vid bro.
thank you bro that means a lot and thank you for watching
Thank you for the support bro I appreciate it
Nice job getting all of the install on video while doing this man. Must have been a pita.
What are you doing come emissions time? There's a "downpipe fix" but it only works for the pwg. Or do you even have emissions in Canada?
Nope, didn’t have any emissions issues. Thanks for watching 🤙🏾
Got my like after the mustache LMFAAAAAO
LOL! thanks man I'm glad you liked the video and thank you for watching
is there any specific torque specs for any of the bolts or just as tight as you can with hand? Awesome vid bro. Showed everything super clearly. Only thing I'm worried about is trying to get the top bolt. Seen a lot of people struggling with it and I'm worried about it lol
The top bolt was definitely a pain in the ass lol. I could not find specific torque specs, but I did tighten it by hand and have removed the downpipe twice since then and it has not seized so that’s good. I appreciate you watching, means a lot.
yo, may I ask if you were ale to use the stock vband clamp as well as the turbo side clamp and gasket?
Hey man I certainly was able to for sure. thank you for watching
@@pabloduhcanadian6328 appreciate it, keep up the good work
Hi after installing my downpipe to my bmw x5 e70 n55 is it normal to smoke a bit of blueish when reving the car . i didnt have that smoke with the stock downpipe 😢 what could be ?
🤔 it could be 1 of 2 things. Blueish smoke is SOMETIMES an indication of oil burn off from a bad turbo seal which wasn’t apparent until you freed up the exhaust flow and any gases/burn off. Or, it could be the oily substance that the downpipe brand coats to protect the pipe from oxidation and therefore burns off when the downpipe heats up for the first time. I hope this helps bro, good luck and thank you for watching 🤙🏾
Did you get a CEL buy using the o2 extender?
No sir! CEL came from de catted downpipe. Once I tuned the car it went away. Thank you for watching by the way.
Bro how did you attack the top bolt im having so much trouble
Sup fam! It was tough my bro but be patient. Best thing to do is feel the Downpipe seat on the turbo and then tighten clamp at the same time
Hey man quick question I did this and I have a trumpet type sound when I hit the gas somewhat hard any reason for this?
that sounds like you might have an exhaust leak somewhere. A trumpet sound is new to me. did you disconnect anything else like a vacuum line etc? Not sure i can help but ill do what I can. thank you for watching
@@pabloduhcanadian6328 nope but what is an exhaust leak exactly? I know there’s little holes in my exhaust pipes near the end could that be it?
@@dndxander if the sound originated once the downpipe went on then I assume the holes near the other end of your exhaust shouldn’t matter. I would double check fitment and retighten any and everything you touched or removed and go from there.
Hey i have the downpipe by itself and no clamps or gaskets, can i use the parts from the stock downpipe or would i have to buy a brand new kit?
Hey man, I actually used the factory clamps and gaskets at that time. The ones that came with the downpipe didn’t fit very well. Granted my car had around 50k miles at that time so I’d order OEM parts for that downpipe if you are much higher in miles IMO. Thank you so much for watching and good luck!
@@pabloduhcanadian6328 thank you, so order the oem clamps and gasket? I can only get the vrsf gasket atm because the clamps are out of stock
@@rickryu6006 yup, I would.
stock res and muffler ?
Yessir!! Stock res and muffler. Thanks for watching
is there any drone with this
Hey man not at all at least not that I can recognize or in comparison to my previous cars. its still very quiet but from what I've heard, if you do a downpipe and a resonator delete you may get a slight drone but nothing in comparison to a normal loud droning. these cars are relatively quiet. thanks for watching and I hope this helps :)
As long as you keep muffler on your good. Muffler delete drone was too much for me.
Shit it was a pain in the ass getting one of the panels from undercarriage off shit was cracking and scraping the ground so i had to do it in the walmart parking lot using a adjustable wrench and having the car sitting on rhino ramps. Boy was i pissed
I just installed Downpipes and exhaust is blowing white smoke when idling etc but didn’t before
From what I remember it’s the exhaust burning off access material from the downpipe. Give it a few days and it’ll go away but make sure to tune the car as well. Good luck and thanks for watching 🤙🏾
@@pabloduhcanadian6328 i did an MHD tune not in depth one . Would I need to
@@eltonlocklear7659 not at all! Give it a few days. Since it’s been tuned I’m sure it’ll take a few days to blow off any moisture or residue on the downpipe
@@pabloduhcanadian6328 I haven’t done and official tune yet. The guy installing didn’t wear gloves I noticed. Also if it was the normal install smoke would it blow a cloud after idle in stop and go traffic? I’m worried the turbos may have been blown when I bought the car and it was hidden by the converters. Thanks man
