- The first bolt on mod for my F82 M4 has arrived with a set of fully aluminum S55 chargepipes made by FTP Motorsport. Big thanks to Brian from Kies Motorsports for sending this product out to me so promptly to get on my car! The quality and fitment of these chargepipes exceeded my expectations and the install process was fairly straightforward with some basic tools. This kit also included all the hardware you will be needing such as couplers, hose clamps, and associated gaskets.

Happy to help, great job with the video!
I started watching your videos when you had that 335i and the quality of your videos now has greatly improved, congrats dude.
Damian Santiago Im really glad to hear that bro, ive been trying to up the quality of the videos a lot here 🤙🏼
Charge pipes were one of the first things I did to my M2c! I noticed immediately better throttle response which is crazy because the s55’s responsiveness is so good. I have BMS charge pipes paired with the MST cold air intake which I highly recommend. Open filter design that utilizes the bottom half of the stock air box and it has rubber sealing for when you go and close the hood. So you get nice cold air separated from the engine bay and you get that open filter sound! MST intake!
Justin Cheung dude after properly driving my car in the dry i swear it feels faster with the new chargepipes 😂 And hell yea, your exact reasoning is why I also have MST intakes sitting in my garage right now. Just need to install them lol, hows the sound?
Simply Car Things it sounds really good. It’s got the most induction sound around 3-4K rpm, and you can hear a nice blow off sound too under load and then letting off the throttle. And I swear it gave my engine a deeper growl to it too. I’ll try to dm you on instagram
Fun to watch this install! Keep up the great content!!
Nicole Che Thanks, Nicole! i’m glad you enjoyed watching the video 😎
I have watched your channel a bunch congrats on the M4. I also have a M4 and do all my own maintenance, I have the same charge pipes. Never reuse the old O-rings from the old pipes!! They gave you new ones!! And much easier to remove both then install rear, then the front. As well with you're Maf sensor its much easier to unplug then removing it eliminate the wear on your seal. You definitely need to put the O-rings that came with the kit always put new in boost leaks with old O-rings is normal.
Picking up my f82 tomorrow!
I know the crank hub coming out next lol
I noticed the new chargepipes did not have the taper in the middle like the factory ones. I was just wondering if that taper from the factory was meant to actually create a venturi effect in addition to maybe just some clearance issues?
Keep the amazing videos on the F82 coming bro. Thank you so much. Will be picking up my F82 here in a couple of weeks and I cannot wait to have one and use your videos for reference!
Jordan Lago Thank you for supporting the channel my guy, i’ll continue to keep the content rolling out 🤙🏼
Omar can you link that flexible wrench if you can? Have a set of CP coming and will be using your video as guidance! Thanks man!
Hey man, I don't own a BMW or even live in the US but I do enjoy your content! Keep it up... Watching all the way from 🇧🇷
Thank you so much for your support! Appreciate that a ton!
Beautiful car. I’ve been thinking of getting an M3/M4 but I’m worried about the crank hub issue 😕.
Good choice on the background music, it was a very relaxing DIY video
enigmo08 that’s exactly what i was going for so i’m glad to hear you enjoyed it man 🤙🏼
Another Great install man! I can't wait until this beast is FBO.
thanks, Khalid! me too bro, its gona be insane
Curious, would it have been easier to replace the rear pipe first instead of the front first?
Jordantastik looking back on it, probably would have. But either way it wasn’t a terribly difficult install
Jordantastik was thinking this as well
Can installing aluminum charge pipes void vehicle warranty and how much of a difference does it make in performance?
Excellent job Ommar! You're gonna have a real Bimmer side hustle if you keep that up! Just let me know when you open up shop! Lol
steven johnson haha will do my friend!
Just bought my 2018 BMW M4 Comp today. Just ordered these and some downpipes :)
Dominick Steele Hell yeah! congrats on the new car man! 😎
Really enjoyed the video Omar hope you are well stay safe can’t wait to see more mods on the M4
thanks for watching man!
That ratchet sure came in handy! Congrats with the install!
it definitely did haha, thnx man 🙏
If a BMW M4GTS is around 500 hp, why don’t we hear crank hub issues with them, is over 500 the real problem, looking to do a mild tune on my f80
Just seen the x3m competition on motorweek! Great job BTW with the installation.
Milan Rotar thank you! The X3M looks so awesome!
Kies is the best, I have to install mine soon!
Jake Spence Can’t wait to see the video brotha! I swear my car feels slightly faster too with these lol
Sparkplugs look like fun on the S55
i know right smh 😅
Easily one of my favorite channels. Question for you though! I have a 335i e92 and I am about to put in catless downpipes and an intercooler, and move from mhd stage 1 to mhd stage 2+. how big is the difference? Is stage 2+ similar at all to a stock m4 or does the m4 blow it out of the water? Keep making sweet videos!
M4 blows it out of the water, go get the m4
@@cadenb1682 well I just graduated last year, I'm still saving for one of those but it's definitely gonna be a while lol trust me I would if I could 😂
@@cadenb1682 N54 Stage 2+ kills stock M4 easy :D
Colton Dery I agree comparing an M4 to a 335i is a tough thing to do as they’re very different cars. but the 335i in stage 2+ form is pretty fast, and its a huge upgrade over how they perform from stock! thanks for watching my videos bro!
@@SimplyCarThings thanks man that makes sense. I know they're super different, more just referring to straight line speed but even then I see what you're saying. And im always looking forward to the next one!
The hot side pipe connects to the throttle body!
M I plan on installing that J pipe whenever i swap out the top mount intercooler
Simply Car Things I’ve been with you since the 335i days! Around that time I had a 535i, then I got an e92 m3 now I just bought a M4! Crazy seeing you come up. Congrats on the car !
Great Video dude :D
thnx bro!
Personally I would turn the clamps back a little bit like the oem ones so it looks cleaner 😅
I like the video and nice job man. Keep them coming as you upgrade you car. I personally dont see the benefit of replacing these unless you have cracked one or have a highly modified engine. I wander how much it would cost to have these painted. That would be pretty cool.
Justin Allen i think they will hold up if you keep the car stock but then again they cracked on my friends stock F80 😂 its just a good preventative maintenance bit to perform. Also the FTP chargepipes can be bought in different colors, like red, gold, & blue. But i just went for the stealthy OEM like black
Great info!
Quick question, I recalled you saying you finance a portion of the car still. I was curious, usually you can’t modify financed cars mechanically. (Engine, suspension etc..) they say if done it voids the contract. My question was how are you able to change the suspension & a mechanical piece (charge pipe) w/ out any consequences to your contract?
MoMmaWhyYouMaddd theres nothing in my contract that says i cant modify my car. I purchased it used through a private party, and didn’t buy through BMW or anything so it’s fairly lax in terms of the buying process
Oh man that’s awesome! I’ve heard horrible stories where people have purchased vehicles & once modifications were done (unknowingly to the contracts restrictions) they ended up losing the car or was forced to pay the remaining balance upfront. Would hate for that to happen to you. Great car man, keep up the content!
For tuning go f80 Paul trust me he’s wining when it comes to the s55 platform
i def will be looking into him when im ready to tune 😎
My boy Omar moved up on em congrats bro keep grinding 💯💯
Figi Dummo appreciate you my brotha 🙏🏼 thank you, keep hustling as well
Just checked that websit me. Good to know they have some intake products for E-chassis N55s!!
Yep, they have plenty of stuff! And if you don’t find what you’re looking for you can also email them and they can usually source stuff for you
Simply Car Things That’s nice!! When it comes the time for me to ad aftermarket parts, I have few plans on where to go as far as brands. VSFR, Burger Tuning and now FTP.
JMC Cars N More don’t sleep on Fabspeed. I have the catless downpipe on my F chassis N55 & it’s absurd the difference it’s made. Good luck!
Haris Samim Well, just went to Fabspeed website and their N55 E-chassis inventory is,
how can I explain this,
very minimum!! Only 5 items!! 😂
JMC Cars N More oh :,( hahahaha well VRSF is a heat option too; good luck !
Does those have engine cover or hood clearance issue?
So the engine cover mount needed to be raised just a tiny bit to let the engine cover fit perfectly but aside from that no clearance issues
Simply Car Things seems a pretty common issue for nearly all aftermarket charge pipes.
I’ve been in a few cars where the charge pipe blew up haha. The N54 had series issues with that.
Cool Cars For Sale Yep! still an issue on the newer ones too lol
Did the kit come with an extended grommet to allow for the engine cover to fit at the rear given the wider diameter of the charge pipes. Or was this a non-issue?
M2 Comp thats a great question, i’ll have to double check i don’t think it came with an extended grommet. I did notice i had a tough time getting the engine cover to go back into place but i was able to get it on nonetheless although it took some more effort
@@SimplyCarThings It's because I'm thinking of doing the same thing. However, I was looking at the silicon version from ESS Tuning and they do supply you with a modified grommet that sits between the charge pipes. BTW - really enjoyed your video! Well done!
Very cool video man!
Jun Mfour4 Thanks man, glad you enjoyed it! 💪🏼
Where you from man? I think you live kind of close to my I just picked up and F80 so I’ve been watching some of your videos
Crank hub fix next? They said that it’s not “if” it will, it’s the matter of when.
probably won’t be next but it will for sure be done in the near future
The crankhub failure is completely overblown, there are very few failures unless you are over 600hp to the wheels.
Jack O nah it’s not I have friends with M3/M4’s and they’ve all went and my cousins went 2 days ago, car is completely stock with 42k miles. I’ll try to upload a video of it getting fixed, trust me bro it’s just a matter of when
@@datm340i6 Failure rate is very , very low, my M4 is tuned with 60k miles no issues, I know others with more power and miles, no issues, it is less than 3%.
DramaTv 101 The failure rate is very low. I’ve been at 610 WHP for a while now and I’m at 50,000 miles. The 2018 and up have a new bed plate design which help with preserving the crank hub.
Been making moves my boy keep it up 🤟🏼🤟🏼
PupWayz appreciate you bro, thank you for watching!
You should buy a vented hood for your M4, this would add to the aggressiveness of the car and the looks, would be great to see this.
a GTS hood would be epic, if i could source one!
@@SimplyCarThings I'm sure you could get one through out the time you'll have the car.
Great video bro!
Thank you my guy! 🤙🏼
Love your videos!!! Thinking about grabbing an m3 also coming from m235. Question for you, will you be doing a crank hub install?
thank you! And yessir, i will be taking the car to a shop to have the crank hub upgraded and then doing a full install video
The crankhub is hardly a issue unless you are above 600hp.
Did u buy ur bmw without warrenty.
Dean ZAP Yessir!
You are not afraid that some day this red paint inside can go (very small bits) into the cylinder?...but looks cool!
zenon42675 zenon kulas I’m confident it will hold up well! It’s an anodized finish so it’s an oxide layer that coats the aluminum for protection
So that is fine!!...You have chosen DKG gearbox..time will show how much is realiable...hope is much more realiable then vw/audi dsg/s-tronic...i wish you the best with new car......ps.that is sad that in USA legal top speed is very low:(...on germany's motoway can drive even 300km/h and is still legal:)
one man team!
UncleTitoo you know how it is, Akito! 🤙🏼
Oh yeah, time for MOAR BOOST 💨
Matthew Hanson yessssir 😈
I'll bet that The outside of the pipes are painted to look like rubber or plastic I believe it's red anodized aluminum .
Seems soooooooo much easier than the n55s
Saielb It’s much easier indeed!
Aluminum heat soaks faster then plastic
Upgrade your crank hub please.
Did you?
moesogood i will
Nice!
Da Ri0 thank you!
Dude are you scraping the driveway???
The maintenance everyone needs first lol
most definitely bro haha, its always a good upgrade
Do you need to tune after upgrading your chargepipes?
Nico C No sir! its an OEM like replacement
Bmw are nice to drive but oil leaks are unacceptable especially on newer models.
Kenny Phun i would agree
Wow I just came here to watch you take them out of the box smh I feel robbed
Ah
Looks easier than the m235i
much easier
You still live at home and bought this car ....not the best sense but hopefully your situation gets better
welp thanks now i need to sell my car for a f80
Austin Bell 😂 dude i hate to sound like im just kissing ass to this platform but its so damn fun to drive
@@SimplyCarThings cars going in for paint correction and going to be posted for sale. I totally get it. been in many f80s and f82s its an animal and now i want it. seeing the prices for them now its time to jump on them. defiantly going to be doing a track build.
Austin Bell yeah f80’s are starting to become mad cheap
