How To Install A Downpipe On Your BMW B58 M340i! Active Autowerke

[@BMWFanatic]

Thanks guys for checking out the DIY! So simple to do on the B58 and hope my video helps ya out when you do it on your own 😎👍🏻

[@MaverickR89]

Could you feel a difference?

[@g20randy]

Amazing camera work nice and clear made this DYI look amazing 100/10

[@boostedveedub9687]

by far easiest downpipe install i have seen so far 😲

[@OB-HCP4]

I watched this video to confirm that I will have to pay someone to do this work for me.

[@jesussalvador8823]

I'll do it for you if you're in socal

[@djtoxed]

haha. legendary. same.

[@jesusm7754]

Wtf this hella easy

[@Dennysclipz]

Don’t be intimidated you can do it like everything in life you’ve got to try new things Believe in yourself bud !

[@solsykness]

Lol, it’s not as bad as you think.

[@nickspondike5014]

If you’re going to tune it, makes more sense to go go with VRSF 200 cell DP for $500 and code off the CEL. Way better flow and sound for 1/3 of the price.

[@mikhailSRT4]

That does sound nice. Not a fan of some of these people with bang pop tunes. But the factory pops are acceptable

[@josemeza3813]

Do you need a tune for the downpipe to work properly with no check engine light?

[@chrispyy606060606]

Great video and commentary, really helpful!

[@tavulechinois]

Nice tutorial. It's easier to do than an E46! BMW thought that many people would change their downpipe themselves! Is a remap is mandatory to avoid check engine light? Hope more vids with accels and flyby.

[@sms4hou676]

The ease of changeout is a a factor of added clearance which they needed to cool the engine compartment to improve engine /plastic parts life. That's what I understand. Bonus! Easy to change out the downpipe!

[@fastmantokyo9639]

is it with a catted downpipe?

[@drewy2347]

I've been able to get everything done except connect the new AA DP to the midpipe. I cannot for the life of me get it to fit into the pre-existing midpipe. The v-band clamp is completely loose too... Do you have any tips on fitting it in?

[@PK_M340i_Fire]

Why not go with the catless downpipe? Is it because you are a super follow the rules, by the book, straight laced, clean cut type guy? :D

[@empiretowing951]

I’ve got a 23 M340 how has the downpipe worked for you long-term? Would you recommend getting that specific one?

[@raldyjimenez3319]

upgrading to AA down pipe doesn't need any tuning? just plug n play?

[@cpete0079]

Does this void the warranty? No tune required with this mod?

[@BMWFanatic]

No tune needed, but a tune will get the max benefit of course. No CEL with this downpipe so it’s a win win. The part has to be at fault to void a warranty which would be the downpipe warranty part not everything else. It’s a simple install, so worst case scenario you could always swap out to the stock one if you’re having any kind of engine or turbo warranty issues.

[@clifft7832]

Great lighting and editing! I have a 2018 540i that I want to do this on, but I don't want much more noise. Was your car a little rumbly before the install? I wonder if the 5 series is a little quieter before and after.

[@nicohagl]

it will be louder and if you do have burble it will be more strong😁. I think u can compare it to a resonator delete

[@lilyanimate7266]

ssems to me that this is a fools errand because upgrading the downpipe should serve 2 purposes 1 is flow which is obviously an improvement the 2nd however removes the catslyst so that when your using things like antilag and sending raw fuel into the exhaust you dont make excessive amounts of heat which with a cat your going to do. heat way beyond what the car is designed to handle safely. so this may look like a win win and you wont have problems with the o2 sensor over time its going to cause far bigger problems than a simple o2 sensor trouble code. heat is what ages a car faster than anything. just look at any car with all highway miles versus one that has miles in stop and go traffic.

[@lordofbathurst]

Can you show off an acceleration video with this downpipe installed. Thanks!

[@kanekickz7818]

I have a 2019 bmw x4 m40i! I just got a vrsf downpipe, this should be about the same for the most part considering mine is a b58 as well?

[@Alittledose]

Does this void my warranty?

[@lightbender1622]

Very well done video! How does performance compare? What is sound like at highway speeds and under hard acceleration?

[@BMWFanatic]

Sounds perfect - no drone 👌🏻

[@sam.raycars]

Good video mate did it throw EML on after a few days as sometimes it can

[@BMWFanatic]

Nope, never did after 2K miles. Guaranteed no check engine light. I do know that some people have experienced it, but they would warrantee that and replace.

[@watagump1]

For m$1500, the company should send someone to install it for free, and buy me lunch. 😜

[@kanekickz7818]

What size socket is the v band clamp?

[@luisbarcenas8394]

Did you have to tune it after installation? I have a 2021 with locked ecu and looking to go catted but not sure if i need to tune it after installing? Love the car 🔥

[@BMWFanatic]

No tune required at all

[@g.thandi824]

Any smell? Even mild?

[@Vegeta42]

Power gains?

[@deesteez4329]

I have a similar setup, with an AWE catback exhaust. Which tune are you thinking about? I’m on the fence with carbahn, BM3, or Ecutek… I’m in Ohio also, so if you know of a good tuner fill me in! Just noticed you have a 2022, so your ECU is locked down! Not too many flash options… so I assume you’ll do a piggy back??

I losened the v clamp bolt a lot but the clamp is still so tight

[@BMWFanatic]

Might be stuck a little bit - could try a thick flat head to try to get it to pop loose

[@stevep4735]

Remove nut and bolt altogether.

Have two of them and have been using for a few years now. I do have back up stuff underneath that you can’t see in the video for extra precautionary measures.

[@alsaku33]

When reinstalling leave the o2 sensors off, feed down pipe from the top and “hang it” on the two studs. Snug up v-band then slip mid pipe. You can get to both o2 sensors with down pipe fully installed. Just my 2 cents in making the install easier. Nice car!

[@itzahstickup]

Yep i used this method makes it so easy

why does it feel like those jacks are awesome but scary at the same time.

They are sure awesome and I use them weekly for stuff! They have locking points on each side like a jack stand that you lower it down to lock into place. I had my 335i up in that locking position for 3 months last year and always very solid 👍🏻
