catback no muffler. Keep resonator!!

Whatever you do bro, doont do what this guy did. Straight pipe or the burble tune. Annoying as fuck

i believe he does, text him, he answers fast

I don't quite remember because it's been a few years since I've owned the car but I believe it was stock 2.5in from the downpipe to the middle where the muffler was then it was 3in straight pipe. I recommend a full 3in straight pipe from the downpipe if you can but I was just lazy back then.

@@ethaninocando Thanks! If I did a full 3in straight pipe with my cats still on will I be able to swap it for a catless downpipe later on? or will I have to get the exhaust removed to swap it?

@@MoistCat9 you can definitely swap out the cats later on, just make sure the connection between the downpipe and the exhaust is the same so you can use the same size clamp

It's my friend's car...he blew the engine 😂

​@@ethaninocandohow?

@@ethaninocando he blew a b58? ouch that hurt 😂

@@TunisianEnergy It was user error, he kept doing pulls with no gas which leaned and starved the engine from fuel

I agree lol. I don't have that car anymore but my current 435i, I didn't put those paddles. I like how the stock paddles feel more

No, I'm just on plain 93 oct. I've never tried e30 because I heard that a lot of n55 owners' high pressure fuel pump crash on e85 mixes.

I have a catless downpipe and I'm fully 3in straight piped meaning that I have no restriction. If a Fi exhaust will make you happy, do it. I personally never heard a n55 with a Fi exhaust so it'll be unique but I also personally don't feel like you need a lot of money to make n55s sound good. The catless downpipe was 269 from VRSF and the 3in straight piped full exhaust was around 300 from a local shop, some nice exhaust tips would be around 100 to 150. That alone would save a few grand compared to a 3000 Fi exhaust system. Or what you could do to be unique is keep your exhaust and put a switchable exhaust cut out right after the downpipe so you can be straight piped or quiet when you want to be. Whatever you think is best, I'm sure it'll sound great. If you have some money left over, definitely invest in engine modifications that'll make your car run better like a catless/catted downpipe, upgraded intercooler, and stronger charge pipe. Here's my affiliate link from VRSF if you decide that's what you want as well- www.vr-speed.com/ref/452/

⁠@@ethaninocandoI’m right there with ya, I have the charge pipe already from vrsf. Inter cooler is on the way and the Fi exhaust comes with a 100 cell down pipe. Happy to see where this car takes me.

I apologize for the late reply. The exhaust was actually done by a local muffler shop near me. Find a local exhaust/muffler shop and tell them you want a resonator, secondary cat and muffler delete replaced with 3in straight pipes. Or, tell them you want all new pipes with 3in straight pipes. And if you want your exhaust to fully breathe with no restrictions, get a catless or catted downpipe. I got my catless downpipe from VRSF. Here's my affiliate link- www.vr-speed.com/ref/452/

Thank you!

I'm glad bro, try not to get into too much trouble 😎

Send vids of your flames to my insta @thic_435i

The exhaust? I think it was like 100

need the link for the exhaust , i got the same one

Hello, what you need when getting your car tuned is taking care of the maintenance like gaskets, oil leaks, and fluid changes first. Then you need supporting mods like an upgraded charge pipe, intercooler, and catless/catted downpipe. My experience has been great, some things broke but they were common weak points like a skinny coolant line near the front bumper and a charge pipe breaking. My turbo is still in good condition but since I'm coming up on 90k miles, I'll be looking out to upgrade my turbo to pure stage 2. You have to leverage the cons and pros, like any other car ownership, things will go out and will need replacing and money, but the smile you get when driving definitely outweighs the cons. If this makes you happy, do it. Text me on my instagram @Thic_435i if you have more questions, I'm always willing to help.

Yes exactly. Stage 2 ots from bootmod3 on stock turbo.

M2 had the N55 lmao

Hello, if you want your car to sound exactly that you'd have to replace your exhaust system with 3in straight pipes. What that means is you'd have delete the muffler (the big box in the back), delete the resonator (the cylindrical pipe that's right before the muffler), and delete the secondary catalytic converter (a small box before the resonator) with all 3in straight steel pipes so that there's no restrictions. As well as replace the main catalytic convert also called the downpipe with catless one. Check with your state laws on catalytic converter deletes as most states require emissions. You can run the car completely catless with straight pipes on the stock tune and it should be fine, it'll just throw a check engine from the 02 sensors. If you want the burbles, you'd have to get a tune such as bootmod3 or mhd, the tune will give you the pops and burbles but you'd have upgrade more parts to run different tunes due to higher boost pressures and the mod bug continues.

Hello, my set up is Modlist: Custom flame tune by Alpine.n55 on Bootmod3 Vrsf chargepipe, VRSF intercooler and VRSF catless downpipe Bm3 stage 2 tune and transmission tune Ebay carbon fiber front lip, mirror caps, side skirt, trunk spoiler and diffuser Muffler and resonator delete with full 3in piping Gold exhaust tips 4.5in wrapped in forged carbon New sparkplugs and ignition coils Wheel spacers 12.5mm front and 15mm back

There's always going to be a faster and better engine. I have a FBO 435i now and tbh I prefer the n20 engine. It was more reliable, very nimble, had a unique character and I didn't need to go fast to have fun. In order for me to have fun with a N55, B58 or S55, I'd have to felony speed lol.

Flamees are only in sport + and dsc completely off. Sport+ for rapid and big flames while dsc completely off is single but massive flames.

I have the 93 oct stage 2 map that I use burbles on. I have burbles set on sports mode and burbles off on comfort.

The flames are from a custom flame tune by alpine.n55 so I don't mess with the settings

I haven't dyno'd but people on forums with same mods are pushing 400whp and 420wtq

You could run Bm3 tune with stock exhaust, you'd just have to run stage 1 because stage 2 requires downpipe, intercooler and chargepipe. I highly recommend upgrading the chargepipe even on stock tune because I blew that up on the first day of owning the car on stock tune. My thoughts on race downpipes (catless) are that they're great if you live in states that are loose when it comes to emissions law. You can always get a catted downpipe if catless is not an option for you, both of which can be used for stage 2.

Haha thank you! Sometimes I don't see the comment notifications but I try :)

I agree. I only use the flame tune for shows. Other than that, I stick to 0.5 seconds aggressive burbles or no burbles

Pretty much a stock tune with flames

Hello, flame tune is by alpine.n55 on bm3, you can reach him on instagram. No, the flames are set by him so no need to adjust anything.

Hey would this work on a x6 35i ? It’s n55

@@ethaninocando I purchase my flame map from him but it’s not working up to a day like this I tried many times I switch off the burbles and still yet it’s not working I contacted him and he sent a different map and still it’s not working smh 🤦‍♂️

@@orcineoleitch238 SMH, send me a vid on insta @Thic_435i

@@1bad335i Contact @alpine.n55 on insta to see if it would work

i have the n26, and i’ve been running full aggression burbles for about 2 years. completely straight piped. no issues

Hello, I don't have that car anymore but all the burbles and aggression were to the max lol.

Kind of, just downpipe and straightpiped exhaust with no tune

its a 6 cylinders b58 engine (the best engine so far in wv group} what did you expect even stock 💪🏼

Straight up lolll

go to alpine.n55 on instagram and click on his website to buy his flame tune. He'll send email with instructions on how to request the tune

Ok bro so we can add that tune to bootmod3

It is 100% up to you. See what sound you like best. Try a muffler delete then if you want louder then take off the resonator

Yes u right bro

Definitely faster 0-60 but rwd is fun

did you just turn the dsc off?@@ethaninocando

@@zanderhansen662 I didn't turn traction control all the way off, just in sport +. I had some yokohama apex advans all seasons and I always had traction so the results would've been around the same

You have to get a flame tune

Yes its a custom flame tune by alpine.n55, check out his insta and if you have any questions, he responds really well

@@ethaninocando I got the tune from him and and he was very helpful in making the flames bigger at my request. Love the sound of the pops too. Way better then the ots pops and bangs. Thanks.

@@captdawodu7679 Glad to help!

I have the exact same car and im looking for a flame tune. Have you had any luck?
