Ha I was watching the video and all the way to the end I was telling myself, he’s not keeping that long he already mentioned the Dinan.... then boom you say it! Great video Tommy

[@TommyLGarage]

m3summ haha yes!!! Glad you watched till then end

[@Californification]

Dude you are totally helping me out. I have been trying to find out how my M Perf exhaust will sound with the AA Mid-Pipe if the AA Mid-Pipe can be attached to the M Perf muffler without cutting the piping on the M Perf. Looks like this video answers that question and it needs to be cut. I'll likely not go that route since I already cut the OEM exhaust piping to install the M Perf exhaust. Don't like having so many exhaust clamps. Prefer Flanges. Just a quick tip....instead of using the reciprocating saw try using the cutting wheel tool. With that you will not need to remove your exhaust and cutting the piping takes 2-3 mins per pipe. On a side note, I can totally relate to working under a car with jack stands😂. What would I not give to get a lift😄 Friendly tip on installing the muffler. Use your jack with a 2x4 wood piece to raise and lower the muffler. That way you won't be killing yourself trying to raise it as you line up and tighten the clamps.

[@TommyLGarage]

Ricky thanks. Good tips! I’m glad the video was helpful. I think m performance with this midpipe will sound significantly better

Tommy L Garage have you watched the video on how to start the car with valves open? Turn on ignition only. Go from efficient to sport. Press accelerator all the way down until you hear valve open and then start car. It’s so much louder and aggressive!! Would love a video with you trying it out

[@TommyLGarage]

Canada S I will give it a try for sure hopefully before I install my new muffler... wink

[@wallacelux]

Haha

[@reaprr]

If you go catless downpipes you'll get the sound level you want. I have those combined with a mid pipe very similar to yours and the competition rear muffler and with the valves open it is so very loud. Still decent with the valves closed though!

[@TommyLGarage]

reaprr but two things: warranty and extra smell. I do like my downpipe cats

[@reaprr]

​@@TommyLGarage True but it really shouldn't break with just a bit more boost and a free flowing exhaust if the tune is right. At least thats what I tell myself haha

[@TommyLGarage]

[@dayvid9824]

Tommy, have you considered the REMUS muffler also? It is a direct bolt-on to the AA mid, similar to the DINAN

[@TommyLGarage]

Dayvid yes I did. Will try something else first :)

[@alij9967]

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. Question - you’ve paired the midpipe up with a CP muffler. How do you think the mid pipe would pair up with a non CP muffler?

[@TommyLGarage]

It would sound great too. I’ve heard it in Person.

[@gabokan09]

Amazing. Any chance you the type of sandpaper and paint used for the exhaust ?

[@TommyLGarage]

It was 400 grit

[@ohgivemeabreakfeller]

Great to see this video up! I have the AA midpipe in the garage waiting for me to find the time to fit. Since my backbox (muffler) has been modified with some baffles removed, I'm hoping it will give the perfect balance of noise level and 'premium sound' as you've put it. Question - do you think it't possible to cut the muffler in place rather than removing the whole system? Ie. is there enough clearance to get the reciprocating saw in there? Trying to figure out how much time to assign to the job ;)

[@TommyLGarage]

Wow you may have just found a good solution! Let me know how it goes. The exhaust can be easily cut on the car. I cut mine on the ground since I was removing the whole exhaust but yes you can defiantly do it on the car - it’s much easier actually

[@ohgivemeabreakfeller]

Tommy L Garage - I shall get a video uploaded when done 👍🏻

[@ezekialcrowe1587]

Tom, what did you do to those exhaust tips? Are they factory tips you heat treated? If so, did you use just a torch or did you send them off? The tips look pretty awesome, as does the painted muffler, I like that idea.

[@TommyLGarage]

Ezekial Crowe those are large bms black tips which burned at the tips after the first track day I took them to. I kind of like that!

[@CopiumEnjoyer]

I have a DP + ZCP setup that is much like having the AA Midpipe in that it significantly reduces rasp while maintaining stock cabin noise with the valves closed. However having a too free flowing exhaust will apparently introduce rasp back into the sound quality of your exhaust so if a DP is in your future for maybe a BM3 tune (which has been my favorite mod so far), you might run into some more adjusting of your exhaust setup. Also, completely unrelated but how do you like having the moonroof as opposed to the CF? I currently have MR but I get CF roof envy all the time just for the aesthetics.

[@TommyLGarage]

AtomicTealM3 downpipes are a no no for me since I want to have cats. Muffler setup is next. And I love my sunroof. I specifically looked for an M with a sunroof. I can run a roof rack and also comes in handy for camera mounting. And I really enjoy the added light.

[@CopiumEnjoyer]

@@TommyLGarage Ahh, gotcha. Thanks for your insight

[@adcampo7601]

Great vids Tommy. I just picked up a 18' M3 ZCP 6MT. Of all the exhaust combinations, which do you think is the best for sound, burbles, livable and no rasp. want something that's quiet when I want it to be and loud in Sport or Sport+. I'm thinking the stock ZCP muffler with this mid pipe might be the right combination.

[@TommyLGarage]

I think single AA midpipe is all you need.

[@henrycruz9680]

Great video! Do you still have the signature setup? Are you keeping it? I’m interested.

[@TommyLGarage]

Sold it. It was crap !

[@Dimitron20]

Wrapping your exhaust will almost eliminate the rasp sound. I had real bad rasp on my previous v6 car and after I wrapped the exhaust it sounded way better and deeper. DEI EXHAUST WRAP KIT

[@TommyLGarage]

Interesting idea.

[@Dimitron20]

@@TommyLGarage I traded in the Kia Stinger I had for a M4. And if you look up stinger exhaust videos every single one of them has a crazy amount of rasp. So when I ran a exhaust on mine I wrapped it from the downpipes to the muffler myself b4 install and made a huge difference.

[@TAndrewLopez]

Hey Tommy, I've been trying to decide between pairing catless downpipes with AA Single Midpipe or AA Equal Length Resonated Midpipe. Comparison videos online don't really do it justice. So have you heard these setups in person and how do you feel about the both of them?

[@TommyLGarage]

Catless downpipes will create drone which I hate. Single midpipe is the way to go if you want to eliminate high pitch and rasp.

[@scorpion9214]

[@Inline6TV]

I think it sounds really good, I’m real picky when it comes to a exhaust on the M3/4 I think I’m going to go this route for sure. If you want it a little louder do you think putting downpipes will work? Are you running the m performance muffler or the stock m3 muffler ?

[@TommyLGarage]

Always In Motion oh yes. Downpipes will make it sound significantly louder. I will not do that. I’d like to keep the cats. And the rear is a Comp Pack muffler

[@Californification]

Quick question....the exhaust clamps that slide and connect the Active Mid-Pipe to the Comp muffler, did that come with the Active Mid-Pipe? Where can I buy just those clamps? I will need them if I ever need to go back to stock before selling the car. I am guessing so would you since you have cut the stock piping. Thanks.

[@TommyLGarage]

Ricky These came with the midpipe. I forgot what diameter they are but you can easily get them on Amazon or you can call the company and They will send you an extra set for a price of course

[@rtabcum]

Hey Tommy, did you do a dyno with the AA pipe only? I know you had a video with the tune but looking for stock config with AA dyno. Thanks.

[@TommyLGarage]

RT in Livermore I haven’t done it it yet. I’ll do it once I get my other muffler in

[@rtabcum]

Reason: I did some quick math from what I remember in fluid dynamics, the AA 3" tube theoretical calculation is more restrictive than two of the 2.5" stock tubes. I simply calculated the volume of gas that can occupy both for a given length. Also because I am in the market for a mid pipe...Thanks and looking forward to the dyno results!

[@chuckehrlich]

Did you notice any exhaust smell with the AA midpipe? I am looking to install the new equal length AA midpipe with a Zcp muffler and stock DP’s. Thanks

[@TommyLGarage]

No smell since I retained downpipe cats

[@JackyMo6]

Get the MPE and you won't get the stupid drone and sounds awesome. They have updated V2 with addition tab to fix the crack issue.

[@TommyLGarage]

[@Steven-xj2rf]

Good video. I was debating this or catted dp's but this looks like the way to go. I prefer less noise so it sounds like keeping stock exhaust is the way to go. What kind of difference did you notice is spool up and pull?

[@TommyLGarage]

Downpipe is the way to go and no drone with oem mid and muffler. But most are catless so that’s a no no for me. But they do give you the biggest horsepower gain

[@StreetDrivenDaily]

@@TommyLGarage thing is, I don't think it's worth extra 10hp.... If there be 25 to 45hp gain. Yeah. Stock Downpies flow very nicely. I just want the best a bit louder so I think midpipes are the way to go.

[@Californification]

So I just ordered the AA Mid-Pipe. How do you think it will sound with my MPE? I am hoping like hell it does not make it raspier or that tin canny noise. Want a deeper sound. Thanks.

[@TommyLGarage]

Ricky deeper sound should be downpipes. Although the midpipe will help too

[@RNMAutomotiveAddiction]

Thanks for another great vid - the sound really sucks on this car! I had a non-CP 2016 M3 which I got rid of and now have 2018 CP - the burbles and sound are amazing when in Neutral / Parked but when your driving in Sport + its not loud at all. Love the car but sound is killing me - dont want to tune it just for sound and risk warranty. AA midpipe and Remus axelback is what i was planning.

I have a non-CP m3 with stock exhaust and valves always open. I recently bought a separate CP rear muffler and am about to jump on the AA midpipe. You seem like an unbiased reviewer, not afraid to admit when you don't like something. So my question is: In your opinion, is the buzziness at WOT largely eliminated from this setup? I'm comfortable with the current volume I have with valves open, just trying to eliminate that swarm of bees buzzing sound at WOT. Was curious if you had enough seat time with this setup to form an opinion on it before i blow $1000 on a midpipe. Thanks in advance!

[@TommyLGarage]

r8spyder42 so I am happy to confirm that the swarm of bees is gone. They’ve mutated and have not become deeper sounding - think of it as bees who went through puberty :) It is much better than stock but not perfect. You may need to tune your car to get the burbles and deep sound but I’m sure you will be happy. I will be putting in a different muffler soon and will report back.

[@ntg44]

@@TommyLGarage Just realized something. The 1.5" measurement from the weld is for the stock exhaust. Since I have the MPE, that measurement may be different. Will need to lay them side by side to figure that out. Sucks.

@@TommyLGarage Looks like I lucked out. Take a look at this video. Go to 2:16 mark and pause it.

[@the3VIL]

You should have left the muffler off and just added one more resonator on the mid section to maintain volume but clean up drone

@@Californification i've never seen that setup either. most do the fabspeed midpipe to get rid of the rasp and add more sound to the mpe as it bolts right up - the AA will mean you have to cut up your mpe. Having had a euro spec e46 m3, i kinda like the rasp at top of rev range, and the roll of dice fitment on the fabspeed is worrying for what they charge - i kept going back n forth over whether to give it a go myself with all these BF sales lol

[@mperformance3502]

It’s strange modern bmw requires you to cut the muffler off the midpipe to swap. Previous gens you simply unbolt

[@TommyLGarage]

Yup. They make it harder to modify.

[@2john149]

If you want sound and performance get e60 m5 V10 or the F10 M5. The engine for the M3 is good but somehow not design to sound what I think you are looking for. Just saying and no disrespect. Love the performance of the M3 but like you not happy with the sound of the exhaust.

[@TommyLGarage]

I agreed. Nicely said

[@2john149]

@@TommyLGarage Hahaha thanks I'm waiting till bmw bring back the V10 or even V12 engine. But that's just a dream 😁

[@BUZZNIGHTYEAR99]

So you decided to go from a true dual OEM piping exhaust to a single pipe Y pipe collector?? Why??? The OEM piping has much better air flow..

[@TommyLGarage]

AlpineM3 from what I read the flow is the same except this one is not restricted by cats or resonators
