You deserve more subscribers. You are very coherent, safety oriented, and informative. Keep up these videos!
Kevin Nguyen thank you! With time I hope more people will subscribe. I appreciate the kind words
Been looking at M3/M4 videos exhaust tutorials for years now. So far this is the best video on UA-cam. Great video, great product. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the kind words !
I think you did an awesome job with the video and the step by step process. It does seem to look straight forward and the results are definitely worth the time and effort. The exhaust sounds perfect in my opinion. And having both options for sound has its advantages for those "mature moments".
Em3rizzle (SteelgrayM3) thank you and thanks for watching. I really enjoy this exhaust but there are two things that bother me:
1. When flaps are closed the exhaust only escapes on one side. That looks odd (I have to live with that)
2. I get a bit of a drone at highway speeds when at load between 2700-3000 rpm. This will hopefully be addressed soon - I purchased a resonator and will try to retrofit it in the System
You’re the man... I don’t have enough patience for this.😩😩
Mo Jo it was fairly easy actually :)
Subbed as soon as u bought this bad boy! Super happy with your videos! I can’t wait to grab my m4!
Dee Dudnath thank you!! I appreciate the love
I love working on my E39 because all the nice fasteners, washers, bolts, etc. Don't rust and usually don't round out.
Oh man that jack is great.
Adam N ahh so that’s great! I’m used to working on my 10 year old Volvo and it was pretty rusty underneath
Hey it’s me again but at 7:22 that voice crack though hahahaha
Haha
Love it and it sounds great. I can't believe you did most of this by yourself, thumbs up to you. You deserve more thumbs up and Subs for the great content you always offer.
Assion Ayikutu ahhhhh thanks!! I really appreciate it.
Using these instructions to install my mid pipe this weekend. I took you advice and kept the stock muffler!
You’ll love it!
You did it!! Thank you so much for the video, it sounds really amazing👏🏻🙌🏼 The sounds of this car is the only reason I almost didn’t want it, now I don’t have to keep it stock, thanks again man🤜🤛
Haha sorry about making you spend $
Sounds great Tommy, nice video!
m3summ thanks ! I think I like it
Oh, I do so like the valves wide open. I’ll have to check it out. I’ve had my eyes on the Dinan, but that sounds very nice.
Chris Thomas my buddy has downpipes with stock mid and Dinan exhaust and it sounds really good. Dinan is another exhaust that you can’t go wrong with.
Great job and amazing exhaust !! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Da Ri0 thanks. I really like it so far!
I love your content . I think I might be ordering an exhaust this week lol .
Sidney Grimes thanks!! An exhaust really makes this car a lot more enjoyable. The pops and burbles are so much more pronounced! Good luck and let me know if you have questions
That new exhaust sound really good
Thanks! I ended up not liking it and sold it
this was a good choice! makes the F80s sound great finally! nice work!
TheVolvoDude thanks! Yes I love the sound now. So far so good!
The best sounding exhaust that I've heard so far for the F8x M car.
CrispCarGuru it took me 6 months of in-person validations to pick the one I wanted. It’s great. Nice and deep. Thanks for watching !
You should join Motorsportslife on Facebook. Lots of M cars!!!
☄☄Best exhaust system for the F80 period.
Actually I ended up removing it. Too much drone
Beautiful just plain beautiful 🙏🏾
Syed Ali thanks! Two weeks into it and I still love it!
Great video and sound.
Owen Sithole thanks!
Sounds great. I kind of like how it sounds with the valves closed more than open.
AlwaysInMotion You know what, I might agree with you. I am actually going to close my valves in sport and sport plus to see how I like it. I might just keep the valves closed all the time. The only problem with that set up is that exhaust gases only escape through the right side. It’ll look funny when your car is cold and the exhaust is only flowing from the right side.
Tommy L Garage yeah I know what you mean, I was thinking the same when I say it had a valve only on one side.
Butt dyno definitely feels the difference. I recently swapped out the stock midpipe for the Active one but kept the Comp muffler. Very refined, got rid of all rasp and totally civilized while in comfort mode. Yours has a very distinct turbo whistle for sure though. Sounds good!
Get those rear flaps up and message me when I can get some (your f80post isn't receiving PMs)
Chris Kage I almost did just the midpipe but I was not a big fan of the OEM rear box.
And mud flaps update soon! I’ve got V2 of fronts and a solution for the rear. Stay tuned !
Oh and I cannot send or receive PMs on the forum but I’m always reachable at got6speed@gmail.com
sounds great!!
Josh Salzman thanks. It grew on me quite a lot!
Well done vid 👍 Thanks!
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked it
By far the best sounding exhaust for these cars! normally the exhaust note makes me hate these cars. Great video!
Collin Christensen thanks! In the city this exhaust is great. On the highway it’s unbearable.
Tommy L Garage oh bummer!! Tons of drone? Or just loud?
Collin Christensen drone. I’ll have a video soon. I do not recommend this exhaust
sounds awesome! Almost on E9X M3 level
Thanks. I mean E9X will for ever be the best sounding M3 but this one is pretty good actually. Thanks for watching!
Dealers in the UK charge a lot. Well done for doing it
Thanks. And it’s super easy
Thanks for the video! I am waiting for this exhaust to come out for the M2 competition. Just finished European delivery on it.
gsrthomas wow congrats! Great car. And you will love this exhaust. Nice and deep tone
Tommy L Garage thanks man. I will tackle this job on my own too. You have an IG channel?
gsrthomas sure thing: TommyLGarage on IG. Hit me up
Mint job
Thanks!!
Awesome! I will be getting g it.
Don’t! I sold it. It’s terrible
Man this video helped me a lot lol
I’m glad !
With almost 450hp and twin turbos, you should have had a full custom exhaust system built with 3" piping. You're holding your turbos back with the 2.5" pipes.
Thyny San but even CS or GTS models with more horsepower have that exhaust
Nice video bro!!! I would never dare to do my own exhaust! But you made it seem easy! New subscriber btw!
Kenji Lo thanks! And it’s not that difficult as long as you’ve got the right tools
This weekend i'm going to attempt to do my Rear spoiler, got the carbon one to fit onto my M2C, let's hope i don't mess this one up! ha ha ha.. All for UA-cam... LOL
Kenji Lo did you see my spoiler install video? It’s fairly easy. Good luck!
@@TommyLGarage I shall check it out!
The best thing about this exhaust exchange might be the weight savings aspect. I have a hard time believing 30+ hp to the wheels just from the exhaust, maybe 5 based on what I’ve read with aftermarket set ups. With all that said, it looks great and a big thumbs up for the DIY!!
D Sak thanks! And yes I agree on the outrageous hp gain claims but the car does feel faster. :)
DCfreakshow yup. Totally agreed. Most of these exhausts are overpriced anyways.
On a turbocharged car the power gains from letting it breath can be ridiculous
mr house intakes on these cars are fairly good actually. It’s the exhaust they is a bit restrictive. Now if it only had the sound of a V8
@@TommyLGarage I have to agree , it's a nice sounding car but the e92 n/a v8 was such an amazing sound
I liked that sound without the pipe on. Thank you for even thinking to that! I see you are thinker. Because I would have done the very same thing!!!!
Bass Webs Dean Ganalli haha great minds think alike :)
hell i would swap downpipes too. and start it up with the stock downpipes off
Now you can drive your family to my house, lol
Kies Motorsports yes! And come back with Apple TV
8:00 now thats how the m3/m4 should sound!!
B15SDMDESIGNS haha totally
Glasses, gloves, and additional jack stands in case some fails... YOU'RE PREPARED like nobody :DD lol
Martin Zvarík haha I have a child who better remain not fatherless haha!
Awesome job and sounds great. It’s time for down pipes and an intake. The down pipes is where you’ll really notice the hp gains and intake just sounds glorious I could email some sound clips of mine.
PS why did you get rid of your 3 piece carbon diffuser already?
Christian Perles I don’t think I’ll be doing downpipes. I want to be able to go back to stock tune and bring the car to the dealer. And If I have downpipes that means CEL if you don’t have a tune. I’m trying to get away with warranty as long as possible :)
And intakes - Id love more sound but there is nothing out there I’m comfortable with
6MT YESS!!!! Manual forever!!!
Agreed!!
the sound is great plus you don't have any drone sound also and big thumps for DIY
KH4L4F thanks. Yes I’m very happy so far. I thought I had a drone but it ended up being a rub agains the heat shield
Perfect install though ;)
Martin Zvarík well thank you!!!
Respect to u for admitting they sounds like lawnmovers!
IbtiX Gaming can’t argue with that. I would love if this car had a TTV8 in it
@@TommyLGarage A engine swap maybe? :)
IbtiX Gaming or a car swap??!! GT3 anyone? :)
@@TommyLGarage That sounds interesting, and uuuu u can remove the 3 and add a S. :D
thumbs up! I dont like people working on my car so I do everything myself
fast4d1 thanks! I feel the same way. I wish I had a tire changing machine
Hey Tom, Can you show us how you put the car on 4 jackstands :) - I need to take downpipes off and been wondering, been looking on forums... -- I know we have jack point in the front/center. which can be lift up to slide jack stands in. how about rear...thanks!
Will do! That’s a good idea.
Clark on ramp and tunnels?
Nicely done. I installed the ///M Performance catback on mine and that required cutting. Was pretty easy. By the way, does this pass inspection?
Ricky I wanted to avoid cutting so I could bring it back to stock easily.
And yes it passes inspection since the cat is still there.
Nice exhaust !! I got fi exhaust setup. Can you share where you got mudflap???
Jerry Lim thanks! I make the mud flaps myself. I sell them on the side. Email me at got6speed@Gmail.com
Wow the parkway was pretty empty for a day time drive., and the exit for clark is the devils work most drivers haven't a clue how to properly position themselves or just block the whole thing up. Car looks and sounds good.
Mark Krajewski thanks for watching and good eye!!
I’m thinking about either getting the m performance exhaust from the factory or the Fi Exhaust both run about the same in price but unsure yet on which one 🤔
FI I heard in person and drove. Drones like crazy. Stay away
Nice bro
Thanks Nicky!!!
Tommy L Garage welome !
Sounds a lot cleaner reminds me of my N54 i’ve been thinking of upgrading to an M3 S55 any problem so far with the car? I hear a crank hub is one thing to worry about.
I got rid of this exhaust eventually. It droned too much. And I also upgraded my crank hub
It sounds awesome! 🙂 great work! But I don’t think I’ll be attempting to even try to change my exhaust myself lol. Did your wife like it? And what do the neighbours think 😂
Chi Tidy thanks! Wifey did not even notice and since I have cold start delete my neighbors love me more now. Win win! Haha
Thats a huge chunk of metal you got out of there gj.I don't like the Y joint on the new one tho I think it is restrictive should be a lot wider and longer part.
GerBeGurGya I’ve seen their dyno tests. Shows much improvement. Thanks for watching Alex
Yes the whole system def a big improvement but still could be better by getting that Y joint fixed up.I'm watching you know that :) even tho don't care much about cars but I like to see how you evolve this car for a better one.
what spacers have you got with these wheels
Thanks for the video. My exhaust also hits my crossbrace. What size washer did you use and do you think they have any effect on strength/function of crossbrace?
I stacked a few. I’d say a quarter of an inch. And no issue with function of cross brace
Man I wish I lived in the states. In switzerland we have such a strict law for cars. The loudest exhaust you can get here legit is the mperformance. Because its OEM.
Benjamin Januzaj ouch. Not even a midpipe?
Tommy L Garage
Nope tottaly illegal. But what most car guys do is a professional muffler delete (opening the muffler, put a stright pipe in, then close it again) but know the police is well informed 😂
Benjamin Januzaj ahhh that’s awful. I mean here it’s so illegal but no one really cares
We cannot even get M performance exhaust for M2 due to strict envirn. law in Korea lol...
StarLake that’s unfortunate. But you do have better food!
Awsome vid. What mud flaps are you running?
I custom make these flaps on the side. Email me at got6speed @ gmail
I love tunnels!
Me too!
I see you been through a few exhaust. What exhaust do you recommend? I definitely don't want any drone or raspy noise. What's your take on Fi exhaust? Great content, keep it up! Aloha
Thanks. Honestly I’m super happy with AE midpipe and my zcp muffler. Good enough for me and zero drone.
Oh and FI is wayyyyyy too loud and so much drone
Awesome well done !! True enthusiast that does his own work 👌🙌🏼. Did you already have downpipes? I have the m performance titanium muffler that I plan to keep but plan to do catted down pipes and a resonated mid pipe. 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks! Nope - I kept the Downpipes stock
Can the exhaust tips be pushed in more? Like more flush with the rear carbon diffuser? Sounds great!!!
crxsir121 yes they can. But I’ve got a new diffuser coming my way so I kept them out a bit more
@@TommyLGarage Awesome! I got this exhaust on my radar, sounds good on your car. BTW looking forward to your rear mudflap vid. Want to buy a front and rear set;)
crxsir121 yes - video coming soon :)
Is it like the difference between ghorme sabzi and khoreshte karafs? Might look similar to the untrained eye, but a world of difference.
Ummm yes?
Great job Tommy but next stage is Akrapovic
The JOKER thanks! Honestly I heard Akra in Person and it was a bit too recipe for me not to mention too expensive.
pls can you give me a link where you bought the all the exhust
From Active Autowerke website. But I do not recommend it. This exhaust drones
You should have went with Awe Track Exhaust for a V8 sound.
So Activ I no longer have this exhaust. Working on something new :)
Sounds great man! Did you have to reflash the ecu when you changed the midpipe and exhaust?
No need to reflash. It adjusts itself but also there are minimal gains
Tommy L Garage thanks man! How come your AA midpipe looks different than mine? They make a mid pipe with a cat?
Does the car need to be tuned for aftermarket exhaust?
Santi Sierra no it does not.
How easy did the AW midpipe bolt up to the dinan muffler?
Very easy. Check out my Dinan video
Hi There im looking to get this exhaust set up active auto werkes mid pipes and signature muffler do you think its worth the price for this set up ?
Nope. Do not get it. Just get the AA single midpipe and pair it with your oem muffler.
Thanks for the reply! Tommy L Garage problem is i bought the car with no oem muffler so i need the whole catback exhaust system...not to sure if i should try to get the axle back M performance muffler and pair it with the AA mid pipes
Hey tommy what’s the best way to make your m3 f80 sound like a v8 with the deep growls?
Midpipe. That’s all you need
Thanks for quick response ! Had to get rid of my E63 and will pick up a m3 soon. Kind of wanted the same deep growl as the e63
What size are the washers you added to the brace?
Essentially Auto they seem like a standard size. Also you can use a normal nut (about a quarter of an inch in total spacing is what you need).
Oh my gosh man. U did this 2 by urself?? Gees man... amazing. So how is it now? Didnt u lose hp little bit?
It’s so amazing that I removed it. Follow my videos and you shall find out :)
His first reaction of the new exhaust and seeing his disappointment on his face was funny. And cringe at the same time
Haha oh yes. That’s why it didn’t last this long
Except for the cats, the stock exhaust didn't look restrictive at all, to me.
Show Me What I Need To Know somewhat true. The new one is louder though :). And the new one has a cat too. What’s less restrictive is the muffler. Also this midpipe design eliminates the rasp
why do almost all bmw drivers have a cap on? Great video
Bjarni Seerup I’m losing my hair. Duhhhh
Okay sorry for my stupid comment
Do you think my dad will let me do this to his f30?
fluffy da cat he should !!
That always happens to me with sockets. I try the 13 not it, try the 10 not it, try the 12 not it. It's always the last one I pick
Haha i'm glad i'm not the only one
Hey. Were Did you buy the Exhaust cause im after one but i can not found one i relly like.
PS Sapi
I always look at forums, Craigslist and eBay.
What tune are you running? BM3 OTS St2?
Garrett Moy I’m running OpenFlashTablet Check our my previous video
Confused. If I should leave my Downpipes. Or swap with midpipes. And keep OEM downpipes
Just do your midpipe.
Aftermarket Downpipes create lots of drone.
@@TommyLGarage my zima just downpipes were perfect no drone. Btw I passed emissions had to slap OEM Downpipes on.
Did u get any check engine light?
Mo Jo not at all. This Does not involve any sensors
Do downpipes void warranty ?
Kerensky TM well depends. You typically need a tune with them to eliminate the CEL. The dealer will know.
Dct is faster?
Yes it is
Tommy, do you still have this on? If you do, how do you like it?
I removed it because it was horrible and I drones it like crazy. I just have the mid pipe now
@@TommyLGarage good to know, thanks Tommy!
How would you compare this with Fi? And what other systems have you heard?
Kanwarbir Singh this one is quieter than FI.
I also heard AWE - too loud
Akra - too raspy and too $$
Dinan - very nice
AA midpipe - nice but I don’t like the look of a stock box
Overall this exhaust eliminates raspiness and give you a deep note. I like it.
Tommy L Garage was the Fi paired with stock DP? Cause that’s my setup and yes it’s VERY loud but still sounds decent! Hopefully tune is on the way cold start is my enemy at 7am 😂
Kanwarbir Singh The one I heard had aftermarket down pipes and it was unbearably loud. I also heard one with stock downpipes and that one sounded great but the guy also told me that coldstart was unbearable. Just pull the trigger and get a tune, it’s the best thing even if it’s only for the coldstart
I believe the factory cold start is to heat up the cats... so as long as those are gone you should be good 😎
DeAngelo Walls oh I still have the stock DP and the midpipe comes with a high flow cat
Is there even an exhost than can stop the farting and rasp?
Apparently it's just the midpie. I'll find out soon enough!
Tommy, why you dont get the M performance exhaust and install a flap controll and reflash the cold start? Still the best option belive me✌🏽
Zach4rias is love to but they are prone to cracking
have u sold ur car? i bought one 2017 just like urs :)))
Nope. Still got it!
Does a m3 f80 exhaust fit in a regular m3
Yes it does
@@TommyLGarage thank you so much I have been trying to figure out this question for so long
I hallucinate with you. You are a crack. Amazing.
Gatecar now that’s an awesome thing to hear. Thank you!!!
Is Mirza Bosnian .. if he is say Jebi se to him jk jk .. nice ride bro I got 2018 M3, CS front lip CS rear spoiler and AWE Heat Exchanger next is AWE intake, Maybe M performance Exhaust or The one you have and tune.
It will be killer!!!!
Your car M4 competition??
M3 competition
How wide is it now, 4”?
3.5 inch oval shape.
Tommy L Garage do you know the width original x2? I mean the width per each? I think your new system should be wider, type 4” to have a better flow than original...😬
Those mud flaps
azmi shariff you know you love them!
Hands up, anyone who has four jack stands just laying around the house...
This guy!!!
@@TommyLGarage 👏👏👏
love your car but no matter what ppl do to the F80 exhaust, it sounds like pressure washer at idle... hopefully the next gen fixes this terrible issue.
Jae Shim somewhat agree. We need a twin turbo V8!
The setup should not give you any extra horsepower as the ECU won't allow it unless you get it remaped
Daniel Fl. It sure does and the ecu adjusts to it fairly quickly.
this engine utilizes mass air meters. more air in it will add fuel equals more power
The tail pipes are pissed to fuck
Super pissed !
Good install, unfortunately doesn’t sound too good. Try some better exhaust manufacturers next time!
I agree. I got rid of it after a few months. I now run an Akrapovic exhaust
@@TommyLGarage congrats!
