Haha I love how even though it's too loud you disconnected the valves anyways. Thanks to your instructions I was able to disconnect mine; car sounds so much better. Startup is smooth, aggressive, and not choppy. Exhaust note sounds significantly deeper 1500-2200 rpm, almost like a V8. Throttle blips are also more aggressive.
At 5:02, what if you leave the mufflers empty(without the scary hairy dog), and let the perforated pipes stay as they are, instead of solid pipes? I wonder if that would contribute to a more beefy sound. Or could it possibly cancel out some tones and make it noticeably quieter than just solid straight pipe?
I don't think the small perforated pipes would make too much difference. The OEM box itself isn't very beefy at all even if you removed the hairy dog. In reality I don't think that small section would make any significant difference to the sound. As the 2 larger pipes makes the most noise.
***** Okay. You're saying that one could likely leave out changing the perforated pipe with a solid pipe, having basically the same result just taking out the stuffing? I've seen some other video with someone doing the same muffler modification to his E92 M3, and he aswell chose to switch out the perforated pipe to a solid pipe. I wonder if it's really necessary(if now there isn't any difference in sound or flow to be expected). That particular part, having to cut off and weld back new pipes inside that tight space just seems like the most demanding and time consuming part.
bkorven Sorry I think I got confused. I thought you meant leaving the hairy dog out AND do the mod. Didn't noticed you meant ONLY remove hairy hair WITHOUT doing the mod. With or without hairy dog doesn't make a huge difference. But you NEED to replace the pipes with solid ones or you can use heat insulating exhaust wrapping material if you can't do the welds or concerned about the tight space. The mod takes around 3-4 hours for a experienced welder, as you mentioned due to the tight space and some exhausts have doubled walled skins. So it takes time to weld the box together again.
***** Ah all right, yeah I wasn't sure I was being clear enough, but now you got it right! I thought the fluffy dog was the big culprit as far as killing sound, and just wanted your thoughts on leaving the perforated pipe in place. Not something you would recommend then. Thanks for your answers!
bkorven No worries. Glad to help. The hairy dog doesn't do much with or without. Replacing/wrapping the pipes makes the biggest difference. Some say removing the hairy dog makes the sound 'tinny/thinner'. So probably best to stuff them back in.
Sure. It used to be very popular. My friend did it with the Evolve tune (same burble type tune) and it was seriously loud (but fun!) Be careful about local laws against noise, track days or your neighbour though.
So cut behind primary cat then remove resonator and second cat? Did you get a cel after this? Going for a loud as setup for track and looking at several options but also having a custom one built without the need for a tune or cel for California emissions testing. TIA
pkim1079 No sensors after the primary cat so there won't be any CEL lights coming on the dash. Just for sound to be honest, to unleash proper power you will need to get rid of the main front cats. Which I didn't do in this video cause I don't want to deal with the engine light / emission issue.
***** Thanks - I've already had test pipes and a tune before but took them off because I don't want to pay $20k for an engine if I blow it up at the track all because I want 30hp which is negligible at the track. Just want MOAR sound! Thanks!
pkim1079 Muffler / xpipe mod / delete is your best way to get more sound. Anything you do with the exhaust won't wreck the engine. Only the remap "might" increase the chance. You can use sensor spacers or just delete the CEL lights if they do come on. Easy enough to delete the error code. You are still getting more sound and power even without remap. The ECU can adapt itself to a certain extend.
+Henry Vasquez It'll still be very loud, 4 pipe mod alone is very very loud. Unless you have already done that mod, I don't really recommend doing both at the same time.
Sorry buddy. No idea on those things. It's my car and I'm the cameraman, but no idea what the dude was doing at the garage. I was just spectating :) Sorry can't help with welding info.
Depends on which country you're in? Emission wise it should be okay since the main primary catalytic converters are still there. But again, depends how strict your tests are. The second issue you may have is that this system is seriously loud. Again maybe they will measure the dB level? I don't think that's an issue here in the UK though :)
+Lukyn008 Won't loose performance, nothing that can be measured or felt. Besides from the increased noise. Stock muffler? I don't have one, but I'm sure you can find plenty none modified M3 muffler videos online.
Hi mate, i want to do this mod, but is it different to the standard noise, i just want it a bit more louder then the stock as its not beefy enough. Also will this pass mot?
Hi, depends if you just do the backbox, just the x-pipe? If you're only just doing the OEM on the backbox then its a bit louder under heavy driving and pretty tame. I think you will love it. And no problem with MOT. Its either x-pipe or backbox mod - don't do both. Its too extreme. Not an issue with MOT, just the noise is too much I reckon. I recommend you just do the backbox mod and that's it. I'm sure you will love the sound.
Yasser Al-shahib Well do the x-pipe mod as well then :) be warned it is loud if you do it like mine. Mind you, its only loud after 3000 rpm and cold start. Those 2 scenarios are deafening. Warm idle and gentle driving is ok :)
if you are just driving normally would you be worried about being pulled over by a cop? you said it was rather tame under 3,000 rpm, so couldn't you just drive in low revs when you didn't want it to be loud?
Not at all. Just be gentle on the throttle and don't rev past 3000 rpm and its absolutely fine. Not that loud. But if you stepped on it or go to red line. Its stupid loud. I did find myself driving slower because how loud it is. But you can live with it if you drive sensibly. No issue
Hi Joe, Sounds awesome! Quick question, any issues with MOT or police pulling you over? I'm mostly stuck in traffic to and from work so the loudness won't bother me much. I have the back box mod done, just wanted it louder and your video was exactly what I needed to take the plunge. :)
Hi Ash, thanks for checking out my video. I didn’t have any issue with this setup. It’s only super loud if you floor it. Otherwise it’s actually quite tame. It is crazy loud if you do WOT it though! Super fun. :)
Sounds amazing bro nothing like a sound of a NA V8. I have a set of RPI Mufflers on my f10 and im getting a lot of drone around 1.5-2k rpm u think replacing the resonator with a x pipe will help with the drone
No issue there. The front primary cats are still in place and that's where the sensor is located. The secondary xpipe cats/resonators don't have any sensors ;)
Just picked up my M3 and am planning to do the exact same mod you carried out. On the motorway I tend to sit at just below 80mph, 3000rpm. With this mod do you get any drone at speed? Thanks
Just had the mod done and wow!!!! Fantastic sound and no drone at all! Unlike your setup, I chose not to remove the secondary cat - engine side of the x-pipe and just remove the resonator. Only thing I could say it relates to is the sound of a Maserati!!!
None at all. Just super loud and raspy as hell. I wouldn't recommend this combo to anyone if you don't want everyone to hate you. Its even more ridiculous in real life.
zer0x1988 It sounds 10x more ridiculous / fun in real life. But day to day it could be trouble some - especially when it literally makes you feel like you're committing a crime going above 3k rpm going at 30mph. People think you are going at gazillion mph.
The m3 is a one of a kind car for its money in its range of value. Whereas the lfa is a great car in its value which is a completely different range. Cant compare the two.
Here's an actual Akra' Evolution exhaust system ua-cam.com/video/KtNoBAV5Aag/v-deo.html finally decided to get a Akra after all these different setups.
Similar, but the full Akra system is a lot more bassy. Not to mention weight saving and power gain. Can check out my latest vid with the Akra Evo setup.
Jesus Navas 5bhp maybe? primary front cats are the most restrictive ones - which I haven't removed. Removing those gives you around 20-25 bhp gain without remap.
Lol.... I have the same setup... I like how you say "prepare to go to death" as I feel the same way... cold start and once you rev, it's absolutely brutal...lol. But I kinda like it... better than stock and not being heard... it's a performance car. You should be heard right..?! 👍
It sounds good but it suffers from drone / resonance at 2-3000 rpm. Just like Supersprint Race, which I hated so I got rid of it. The E. Race does sound very very nice, if only it didn't drone.
h80282 Nope not true. I had the Akrapovic Full system and that did not drone at any rpm, stock doesn't drone, my current evolve test pipe + BMW M Performance exhaust doens't drone either. Nor did this x-pipe + OEM Mod combo, no drone either.
Sorry my english but speak more spanish than english good I modify the muffler but I did not eliminate the catchback and I felt that it has lowered me hp I think it is to eliminate the catchback true and grabbing exactly the modification that you have done does not teach any pilot or Something in your car
Brabus AMG sounds amazing, no idea how they do it. Combo of engine and exhaust. They have a deep growl sound to them. Only AMG sounds like the way they do, probably because of the huge CC engine.
Media6D is it possible to get the xpipe and do it someway that its easy to put the original piping back every year to the yearly inspection? on my 370z i could switch the downpipe to the original one in like 5 minutes
H1delta you are so wrong it hurts. If the following word starts with a vowel it is an not a. M is it a vowel therefor it's a M3. Another example is menu. Exact same principle. Can I have a menu? is correct. can I have an menu? makes you look and sound illiterate. I could be wrong but you seem like the type that thinks they have a good grasp on the English language yet still can't deter between your and you're, there and their and the beloved here and hear. You have been educated. I want my medal.
I could be wrong but you do not pronounce "menu" as "em-nu". As such, M3 actually is pronounced as a word starting with a vowel (em3) and should be preceded with an "an". FTR, a E92 is the best M3. Oh wait. That should be an E92... I'm just yanking your chain... Your medal is in the mail. FTR, it's been been known and verified that my English is more worser than nobody I don't know. I just know Mrs. Singer, my high school English teacher is turning over in her grave. RIP Mrs. Singer. I know I didn't deserve the As you gave me. I'll do more better next time.
Sounds better than any aftermarket exhaust! Congrats, you're very talented!!
Thank you. Sounds like the iPE / Innotech but for 10x less money :P it's too loud for daily use though to be honest.
Haha I love how even though it's too loud you disconnected the valves anyways. Thanks to your instructions I was able to disconnect mine; car sounds so much better. Startup is smooth, aggressive, and not choppy. Exhaust note sounds significantly deeper 1500-2200 rpm, almost like a V8. Throttle blips are also more aggressive.
Sebastian Senna No worries :P glad you're having fun with it. That's the most important thing!
greatest set up for this car ever perfect sound
Nice my brothers e92 has an eisenmann race and a dinan air filter thats abt it but its just amazing to drive. Keep us posted on more mods!
At 5:02, what if you leave the mufflers empty(without the scary hairy dog), and let the perforated pipes stay as they are, instead of solid pipes?

what about the check engine warning on the dash after removing cat?
Bro what did you remove exactly the secondary cats ,resonators, and 4 pipe back box?
Hey there. Yup, that's correct.
Hey long time but wanna ask can you put a gintani tune with this setup like the burble tune ?
Sure. It used to be very popular. My friend did it with the Evolve tune (same burble type tune) and it was seriously loud (but fun!) Be careful about local laws against noise, track days or your neighbour though.
ok cool how does the exhaust sound on highway is it still loud or it starts to be quiet like the orginal , and thanks for the anwser.
So cut behind primary cat then remove resonator and second cat? Did you get a cel after this? Going for a loud as setup for track and looking at several options but also having a custom one built without the need for a tune or cel for California emissions testing.
TIA
pkim1079 No sensors after the primary cat so there won't be any CEL lights coming on the dash. Just for sound to be honest, to unleash proper power you will need to get rid of the main front cats. Which I didn't do in this video cause I don't want to deal with the engine light / emission issue.

at what RPM it start being loud and does it sound exoutic or more like a muscle car? Thanks
the E92 M3 sounds great after the mod
zer0x1988 Its way too loud for daily use to be honest, but it sounds insane though.
Hi,
Do you reuse the baffling after you replace the perforated pipes in the backbox?
Hi. Yes I do re-use it as mentioned in the vid. We put the stuff back after replacing the pipes. ;)
how is the drone below 3k RPMS. I had my muffler deleted and it was obnoxious.
going from first and second gear low rpms. how is it. ?
thanks
Muffler delete, played with that before and it's ridiculous. The above setup in this video, there's no drone believe it or not.
Which mod did you do? Bypass or the other one? and the x pipe is just removing all four resonators.
Thanks
Darwin Carbajal x pipe (2 resonator 2 cats removed) - 4 pipe replaced - as shown in video.
What do you think about doing the 4 pipe oem backbox mod and removing the secondary cats? Or the resonators? Only one though.
For the purpose of a little louder car while cruising
+Henry Vasquez It'll still be very loud, 4 pipe mod alone is very very loud. Unless you have already done that mod, I don't really recommend doing both at the same time.
Did you notice any gain in Hp??
what amp did he run that tig welder on and what size electrode?
Sorry buddy. No idea on those things. It's my car and I'm the cameraman, but no idea what the dude was doing at the garage. I was just spectating :) Sorry can't help with welding info.
alright thanks for the reply
dragonslayer2535 Sorry I couldn't help you more.
just a quick question, Will the car pass the motor test after the modified exhaust?
Depends on which country you're in? Emission wise it should be okay since the main primary catalytic converters are still there. But again, depends how strict your tests are. The second issue you may have is that this system is seriously loud. Again maybe they will measure the dB level? I don't think that's an issue here in the UK though :)
Which size does für X pipe has?
will you lose a performance by replacing performed pipes with straight ones? and do you have a video with a stock muffler for comparison?
+Lukyn008 Won't loose performance, nothing that can be measured or felt. Besides from the increased noise. Stock muffler? I don't have one, but I'm sure you can find plenty none modified M3 muffler videos online.
+Media6D a good tune will cause a gain with the freer breathing S65. The back pressure myth is just that; a myth! lol
Lol hell yea. What other mods are you running on your m?
Hi mate, i want to do this mod, but is it different to the standard noise, i just want it a bit more louder then the stock as its not beefy enough. Also will this pass mot?

I recommend you just do the backbox mod and that's it. I'm sure you will love the sound.
I want it loud to be honest. But is it even at low revs to high?
Yasser Al-shahib Well do the x-pipe mod as well then :) be warned it is loud if you do it like mine. Mind you, its only loud after 3000 rpm and cold start. Those 2 scenarios are deafening. Warm idle and gentle driving is ok :)

Cheers bro. I think it will definitely help a bit, whether its' enough is another matter as drones are very subjective. But worth a try I say.
Sounds like c63! Like it ,hopefully it doesn't effect any engine management lights?
No issue there. The front primary cats are still in place and that's where the sensor is located. The secondary xpipe cats/resonators don't have any sensors ;)
Joe Lam tune will fix it when you delete primary cats
Just picked up my M3 and am planning to do the exact same mod you carried out. On the motorway I tend to sit at just below 80mph, 3000rpm. With this mod do you get any drone at speed? Thanks

David Murray Nice one. Yeah doing what I did is way too much for daily anyway. Otherwise its mega. But doing the MOD alone is good ;)
I was looking at doing this exact mod with the x pipe, do you have any videos?
Brandon B What you do mean do I have any videos? How to? Sound videos with just the xpipe or?
Whats with the cat's ?
+Highlight4158 The cat's are restricting the flow of exhaust gases, getting rid of them means more power and more sound.
+Media6D yes yes i know haha i mean did u remove them all ( cats )
***** Only the secondary cats and the resonators in the xpipe, the primary pair of cats are still in place.
:D but, this is a great machine, no one can´t denied, i hope someday i can afford one
Nice to see the old squint eye protectors being used hahah
sounds great. any drone at all??
None at all. Just super loud and raspy as hell. I wouldn't recommend this combo to anyone if you don't want everyone to hate you. Its even more ridiculous in real life.
***** in the Video it Sounds really nice i love it when it's loud now that is all i have to do for my M3 to get him perfect
zer0x1988 It sounds 10x more ridiculous / fun in real life. But day to day it could be trouble some - especially when it literally makes you feel like you're committing a crime going above 3k rpm going at 30mph. People think you are going at gazillion mph.

Def louder than my exhaust mod only friends. Sounds like Akra with x-pipe only!
Here's an actual Akra' Evolution exhaust system ua-cam.com/video/KtNoBAV5Aag/v-deo.html finally decided to get a Akra after all these different setups.
Similar, but the full Akra system is a lot more bassy. Not to mention weight saving and power gain. Can check out my latest vid with the Akra Evo setup.
Especially a v10exhaust to a v8 of course it will b different
When welding the muffler covers back on, did you have to do one layer at a time since there are two layers on each side?
Hi Jonathan, I believe he did.
Horsepower gains?
Jesus Navas 5bhp maybe? primary front cats are the most restrictive ones - which I haven't removed. Removing those gives you around 20-25 bhp gain without remap.
Lol.... I have the same setup... I like how you say "prepare to go to death" as I feel the same way... cold start and once you rev, it's absolutely brutal...lol. But I kinda like it... better than stock and not being heard... it's a performance car. You should be heard right..?! 👍
Definitely ! Wouldn't use it daily like that though, did use to get in to trouble for being too loud.
im stuck at Step 1
Get there one day! All I had was a 1:18 scale e92 M3 at one point, eventually got the 335i, manual M3 and the current DCT White M3. What a journey :)
best captions ever'
+maurauth Nicest comment ever ! 🙏
+Media6D Did you do this with some mates, or did a garage do this for you?
maurauth It wasn't hugely popular back then, so I had to search around to find a garage that would do it for me.
***** ah ok fair enough, not south of england by any chance?
maurauth I went all the way down to Torquay to find a garage that would do it - it was ridiculous!
Hello friend you would recommend me to give you more power to the bmw m3 e92
How?
Esinmann race is the best exhust ever for the e92
It sounds good but it suffers from drone / resonance at 2-3000 rpm. Just like Supersprint Race, which I hated so I got rid of it. The E. Race does sound very very nice, if only it didn't drone.
Drone in every exhust system except the stock. The esinmann drone is a music😄
h80282 Nope not true. I had the Akrapovic Full system and that did not drone at any rpm, stock doesn't drone, my current evolve test pipe + BMW M Performance exhaust doens't drone either. Nor did this x-pipe + OEM Mod combo, no drone either.
Akrapovic doesnt sound as good as esinmann race spacily with the xpipe. I love the esinmann race with xpipe its the best exhust sound ever
h80282 I didn't like the Akra' either. Sold it after a few months. But saying that not every exhausts drones.
Its all about step one
👊🏼 Right!
@@JoeLamOfficial nice car by the way bud, I am on the M25 alot during the week J16-J21. I hope to see you along there one day 👊
Thanks bud. Be cool to meet one day. Thanks again for checking out my video bro.
thankssss
No worries.
Grate job!! but all ways protect your ayes... I tell you this in the good way
+matias semisky Thanks. Do you mean from the welding sparks / strong lights?
no, when you cut metal
matias semisky Ah I see, well i'm the one filming and its not my garage or my staff or crew. So his safety isn't under my control unfortunately.
The video really doesn't do the sound justice (did it on my M3). Try pumping through a tunnel for better echo
Too many variables, I don't think a recorded video on UA-cam through some speakers can replicate the crazy sound and volume. :)
the first step is a bit trickier, can someone help me ;))))))
That doesn't need his eyes or what? No protection!
LMFAO 16. Prepare to make small children cry
Perhaps even older people too... 😅
good work but the hp is down
hp down?
yes modifi my exhaust original and my car the torke and hp decreased
can you help me
did you run dyno to confirm? Shouldn't do. What exactly did you do?
Sorry my english but speak more spanish than english good I modify the muffler but I did not eliminate the catchback and I felt that it has lowered me hp I think it is to eliminate the catchback true and grabbing exactly the modification that you have done does not teach any pilot or Something in your car
Lmao! Step 1 get a m3 ahaha
you sir are funny
I can't even get passed step 1
Keep going! It took me quite a few years till I got mine.
The next weeks I´m going to pick up my new BMW e92 M3 LCI Competition Package, can´t wait to get it...
Check out my new vid meanwhile :)
Nice! Can't wait to see it!
"Prepare to go DEATH" ??? LOL!
Hate that rattling, I prefer deeper bike like sounds
Some prefer raspy sound, some prefer deeper bass sounds.
MY HK FEET I am with the deeper Brabus and Alpina sounds
Brabus AMG sounds amazing, no idea how they do it. Combo of engine and exhaust. They have a deep growl sound to them. Only AMG sounds like the way they do, probably because of the huge CC engine.
Joe Lam but I know that if you go to a muffler shop he can make you hear different exhaust notes and sounds and you can pick up from those you heard
Surely there are limitations though? Can't make a Ford Fiesta sound like a F12tdf? :)
Step 1: check!
7:10 didn't know that the BMW is a female
moore hp
naa
Get a M3*
Correction thanked you.
Media6D is it possible to get the xpipe and do it someway that its easy to put the original piping back every year to the yearly inspection? on my 370z i could switch the downpipe to the original one in like 5 minutes
"An M3" is correct. The "M" is pronounced "em" which requires an "an". It sounds funny saying get " a em3".
H1delta you are so wrong it hurts. If the following word starts with a vowel it is an not a. M is it a vowel therefor it's a M3. Another example is menu. Exact same principle.

sounds bad in my opinion. you need to listen to an LFA, Aventador to hear a nice engine sound. This just sound like an 1990 chevy truck.
