INSTALLING DOWNPIPES ON MY BMW 550i *extremely loud*

[@starky94]

Sounds amazing bro You convinced me to buy those 🔥🔥🔥

[@trevaughnw.d]

It’s well well worth it at power sounds amazing it’s a night and day difference.

[@mike619]

bro, I have the same engine. You need to open the flaps on the exhaust to get the full effect. Yours sounds very mellow. Open the exhaust flaps and zip tie them open.

[@clovishicks5735]

WHEN TAKING OUT THE STOCKS YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THAT HEAT SHIELD THAT'S DOWNWARD BEHIND THEM THEN THEY WILL MANEUVER RIGHT ON OUT...

[@goldywang5066]

Yeahhhh… time to switch my downpipes out

[@GreyslateM550]

Did you CEL LIGHT come on after instalation? Or did you flash it to erase light. And how is reliability 7months after installing downpipes.

[@trevaughnw.d]

Yes, the check engine light is on and no I haven’t had it cleared (honestly because it doesn’t bother me) and reliability has been 1000% pristine not a single issue sounds great and really lets the turbos breathe can’t complain

[@GreyslateM550]

@@trevaughnw.d okay i needed to hear it from you Cause everyone is saying ill cut engines life span adding downpipes and that my stock turbos will blow up after some time

[@trevaughnw.d]

lol no people always give you the worst case scenario when it comes to cars just do what makes you happy 💯

[@radianm6]

Im looking at a 650i with same engine… How is this engine?? Does it come with a lot of problems? Is it hard to work on??

[@trevaughnw.d]

It is not the easiest engine to work on reliability is definitely questionable, but I don’t want to scare you away from getting a BMW with the N63 engine it is a absolutely amazing engine when it’s running correctly and maintain well I recommend looking at 2014 above so that you can get the N63TU engine which is up upgraded for a liability and makes 40+ hp

[@mike619]

I have this car. Just always have $5000 set aside just in case. Always!

[@radianm6]

@@mike619 i do all the work myself.

[@jbason_01]

Get a car with the n63tu or n63tu2 standard n63 was first in the lineup and has a lot of issues

[@talon8458]

@@jbason_01 I just got a 2011 550i a few weeks ago I love it but wish I did more research on n63’s I would’ve gotten a n63tu car or tu2 but at the time I kind of jumped the gun on purchasing this vehicle like I said I still love it just nervous because how unreliable everything says the pre tu engines are one thing I noticed is the pre tu engines burn more oil then the tu it still has whatever oil the dealer put in but my friend that has a n63 car recommend me switching to liqui Molly 5w-40

[@erjbo]

You don’t have an M550i

[@erickgarzon1902]

Weres ur car

[@LimitlessSham11]

How do you get to call it m550i

[@trevaughnw.d]

Because it’s a BMW 550i with the M sport package

[@thewonderfulland6207]

My friend it is a big difference between an m package and the actual m550i.

[@rhicks0613]

@@thewonderfulland6207only if the m550i is a “comp” if it’s just a m550i it’s the same 💩 basically.

[@evanwilliams4231]

@@rhicks0613Nah, the 2013 550i MIGHT have a tu package. M550 has n63tu2 and up. Like he said big difference my friend even from the m sport F10 models.

How is the drone on the freeway?

[@trevaughnw.d]

Below 2500RPMs it is not so bad but anywhere above that they’re definitely is a drone but it’s not super loud and annoying

[@HANNIBAL822]

Did you get the 2.75” or 3” downpipes from ARM

[@trevaughnw.d]

3” 👍🏾

[@thaddeusgross2394]

Do you have a stock mid pipe?

[@trevaughnw.d]

Yes

[@CallMeTheRealE]

Rip the neighbors

[@trevaughnw.d]

😂😂it’s not the loudest thing in the world, but it sure enough set off car alarms

[@thewonderfulland6207]

Bro in 2013 there wasn't yet a m550i so just call it 550i

[@SnarkyBullet]

if its a m sport, its a m550

[@SnarkyBullet]

literally the new bmw 550s are only M550, because they are a step down from the M5, every 550 is a m550, especially the M package with adaptive suspension.

[@busterscrugs]

@@SnarkyBullet that's not how it works. I have a 550i M sport and a 530i M sport. You don't ever hear anyone call it an M530i lol.

[@SnarkyBullet]

@@busterscrugs well there’s an M package but basically all the new 550 are m550
