Sounded awesome and such a fun video to film! Always good, when Tommy comes to town!
Thanks again for everything, especially putting up with my dad jokes ha ha
I must take the drive down to Kies from Jersey shore area. I am most impressed with their videos, knowledge expertise. Thanks Tommy. I always enjoy your videos and work.
@@TommyLGarage @Kies Motorsports Now we need a side by side exhausts comparisons between Akrapovic and M4 GTS between your 2 m3s.
I have a 2015 M3 with no ZCP. currently with Dinan exhaust and I am always wondering if I change the exhaust, would I have the same burble/farts? Dinan doesn't have burble/fart much right now
@@TommyLGarage i have seen different midpipes on you tube to that rasp. I' ve noticed that you've installed the AA single midpipe. Few days ago i saw the new AA equal lenght pipe and i wonder what is the better solution? Yours or the new one? For now my axle back exaust its the OEM but i'll get problaby a REMU or an Akrapovic like you have in your car.
Like to have your opinion.
Thanks and best regards from Portugal.
JOAO PEDRO MIGUEL only the single midpipe eliminates rasp. Equal length makes it sound high pitched and has a lot of rasp.
Sounds good man, that exhaust is GOALS.
Thanks man. Wait till you hear the drive-by clips.
what i really love about this system is that unlike other setups the quite mode is actually quite while the loud mode is well.. loud.
in most of the other systems there isnt much difference between the two modes which kinda kill the whole idea of having the valves.
It is absolutely incredible how quiet it is. I can have a set of down pipes and it will still be quiet. Now I just gave myself an idea ha ha
Sounds amazing. Now you need to change the opening titles sound to this.
Oh wow I never thought of this. You’re absolutely right.
It was worth the wait....Thanks Tommy Thanks Brian
Thanks!!
Always an amazing detailed explanation of all your videos. 👍
Thanks for being here as always
The new AA Equal Length midpipe is calling your name :)
Nope I like this one better
@@TommyLGarage Have you heard the EL in person? I have not, waiting to hear more clips before ordering. If you had interesting to hear your thoughts.
Sounds like a Porsche in high rpms, its insane
God damnnnnnn those valves make efficient & Sport night and day!!! Thats so deep and throaty! I love it!!
Remus axel back goes on my M2c soon and then AA mid pipe next... that Mid-pipe makes a massive difference when paired with a 3rd party back box
We need some drive bys next!
AA will give it a nice deep sound. You’ll love it
Equal lenth exhaust sounds waay better
You get rasp with EL
Bruh that sounds terrible, your money would have been better spent on other performance mods.
It sounds so bad
I still dunno how I feel about how F80’s sound... ugh
In person it sounds great
Drive one. The sound will matter less. Lol
Thic F30 haha that’s the plan for now
@@ThicWhips Cant agree more! although sometimes when I have the windows down.. Theres just that little bitter sweet sound that you are missing!!!
th-cam.com/video/B0wPt_WUlBc/w-d-xo.html
The s55 sounds good with this exhaust. I almost traded my M until I added the Akrapovic exhaust. Sounds better in person!🏎💨💨💨
Wow, an F80 M3 that doesn't sound bad! That muffler is a work of art, is it possible you could film some more clips of it in quiet mode?
Yes will do!
Sounds great Tommy! I just took delivery of a 2021 manual M2C. MST intake going in on Tuesday and have been debating on AA midpipe and Remus axelback, or the armytrix full exhaust, this is a very nice setup and I may have to go with this! Nice build my friend!
Thanks and congrats on the car! Single AA midpipe is the way to go. Don’t get suckered into to the whole equal length crap
Single midpipe is the way to go in my opinion but full exhausts sound really good too
Agreed !
Sound absolutely animalistic. Roars like a lion. Love it. Tommy please do a montage vid of all the 5-6 exhausts you have had, including stock when you first bought the car. Would be nice to compare all the exhaust sounds on the one vid 👍👌
That’s actually a very good idea. I’m gonna put something together pretty soon
@@TommyLGarage 👍😊
@@TommyLGarage also I noted you wanted to change the rear diffuser. I've just changed mine too on my M4 to the LED fog/rain light one-price carbon fibre diffuser from vicrez/kohlenstoff... Amazing!
Looks good, sounds good, installed by good people = another good video.
Thanks !!
Awesome exhaust...just got a 2016 M4 coupe and it came with a Remus Sport exhaust and I so am tempted to swap it out and sell it for an Akraprovic! Had one on my 991.1 before I sold it and it was glorious. Best out there...reason it costs a bit more. WIsh I could find one at a reasonable cost tho! :(. Enjoy! :)
Honestly you get a similar sound just by getting a competition muffler and a single active autowork mid pipe.
I'm of the mindset, that the stock sound has never been an issue with me on these cars. They also are done no justice when listening to them on TH-cam.
I also understand the way this engines manifold length, and firing order alter the sound so much, relative to an N55. Form following function. They knew it was going to sound different, before it was ever even released.
In my opinion... While this still sounds great in it's own right. The best I've heard (hands down, not even close, no question... Is the active auto equal length mid, with the M performance exhaust. 🙌🙌
If you haven't heard it, ya need to look it up.
I do like it but hate the rasp the EL produces
"WE did it in 5 minutes" and "now WE are adjusting the brace" LOL
lmao
@@TommyLGarage work smart, not hard bois.
Pops are juvenile. Makes a great exhaust sound cheap IMO.
True
this is the best setup so far for sure. well better one is single turbo :D
I would turn down all these crackles, but thats personal taste.
Single turbo sounds amazing
That was so disappointing
I like it a lot
Tommy please let us know if you get any drone in cabin. Also is this exhaust valved?
All those questions are addressed in the video :)
No and yes
Tommy this is amazing. I have just the AA single midpipe on my M2c with stock muffler. Might have to try this? But I’m not sure if I’m crazy enough to cut an akra exhaust like you 😂 I was actually thinking Remus axle back with the aa midpipe on my car
i have akra with theirs midpipe together, so no need to cut anything, all fits bolt-on. Sound really good, but now want to add downpipes as well..
AA midpipe gives you a deeper sound and eliminates the rasp. That’s why I didn’t get the full Akra setup.
Na zywo pewnie superowo slychac. Ja uziemiony na 1.5 miesiaca po zjezdzie w gorach upadek i zlamane 3 zebar i piaty palec . Tydzien temu mialem operacje reki . Wszystko dobrze . Pierwszy raz w szpitalu od 40 lat. Z ciekawosci poznalem w szpitalu dziadka ,ktory mieszka niedaleko Srebrnej Gory - miedzy innymi na tej gorze fajne zjazdy czesto tam bywam . Kiedys to byly tereny niemieckie . Niemcy prawdopodobnie w tych gorach ukrywali strasznie nowoczena technike( poczytaj sobie o Riese) .Ów dziadek opowiadal mi , ze od pewnego czasu prawie codziennie miedzy godzina 22 a 24 nad ta gora pojawia sie jakis statek i robii zdjecia. Spytalem sie go czemu jakiegos zdjecia nie zrobil . On odpowiedzial, ze nie wpadl na to. Gdy ja i on wyzdrowieje to mamu sie spotkac i ma mi pokazac ów statek . Pisze Ci to bo Ty tez takie cos lubisz.
O ja nie mogę przykro mi że takie coś się stało. Ale mam nadzieję że szybko się wykaraskasz. Ja miałem dwa żebra złamany i nie jest to przyjemne uczucie. Odnośnie tego dziadka to bardzo interesujące. Chciałbym zobaczyć zdjęcie
AA equal length way better
I don’t think so. It makes the car sound like a Japanese import
Tommy L Garage you’ve got the makings of a perfect exhaust if you swapped the old aa out for the new
Question does it work off the factory valve system? Like it open in m2 and close in comfort or is there remote system?
Yes it does.
Sounds alright, but still doesn't sound smooth like the equal length exhaust options. I know it's personal preference but the smooth inline-6 sounding JZ/RB sound you get with the equal length exhaust make the car, and seems BMW agrees with the equal length exhaust on the new S58.
I really think it sounds great and exotic
They all just kind of sound the same on video while free-reving them in a parking lot. Hopefully when you do the drive by video we will get a better idea of how it sounds? Those tips are ridiculously nice though. I can definitely understand why you’d want them to show a little better.
I already got a replacement diffuser on order. And I will be working on a drive-by video sometime this week so hopefully by next Sunday it’ll be ready
Can we also request a sound clip without burbles? Thanks Tommy, you’re the man.
Have you herd of equal length exhaust in the f80
Yes I have. It makes a German car sound like a Japanese import
So If i have the whole piece, middle pipe and muffler. Will It sound louder? Or doesn't make any different. Cuz my friend gonna sell his m4. He want swap with my factory catback. I believe it will be a simple work. But I'm more concerned it might be loud Which might have issue with my neighbor in future.😓
It will sound quieter. The mid pipe I have makes it louder.
Have you seen that Active Autowerke has come up with a completely new design midpipe "equal lenght" style that completely changes the sound of the s55 and makes it sound 2jz ish?
That’s the thing, it changes the sound of a German car to a Japanese import. I’m not really into that, and I don’t understand how all these bands do not affect performance. Not to mention the added weight.
@@TommyLGarage It also sounds like the original turbo ///M car, the 1M. I'm sure it's still lighter and less restrictive than the OEM midpipe with the secondary cats.
Hey Tommy, did you order this with the “link pipe”? planning on getting the setup
No link pipe. I connected it to my AA midpipe.
That is crazy do all Akrapovic exaust come like that for the F80 where you have to cut it ? Was yours exhaust one of those that they messed up on when they manufactured it ?
We decided to custom fit it to my midpipe. It was Brand new perfect exhaust
I don't see the point of spending so much on an exhaust if you are going to flood it with a burble tune. You can hardly decipher its tone amidst all the cracks
Burble tune can easily be defeated
Equal length > AA midpipe
Nope. Just because it’s new doesn’t mean it’s better. It changes the sound of the car into a JDM machine
That really does sound good! i am impressed. Tommy please post with the exact exhaust setup is.
Check out the previous video - all the install detail is in there :)
It does sound better but still not great.. unless you change the turbo’s this car can never sound great.. it’s one of those cars that has everything but the sound...
I kind of like it....a lot
Where do buy this ? And will BMW agency install. Don’t know shit about working on cars
I linked it in the description.
Anybody knows the total length of these original akrapovic exhaust tips?
I don’t sorry
Ahh. I was expecting an equal length exhaust :(
Nope. That one is not for me. Too much unnecessary weight and it makes the car sound like a Japanese import.
Companies gotta keep new selling parts to make money. Not going to jump on the hype train on EL.
Tommy L Garage jdm import still sounds better than any weedwacker s55 lol
The exhaust sounds awesome. With the valves closed its so quiet. While you were at Kies did you dyno it?
Thanks! We didn’t dunk but will soon
On video, this tone sounds much deeper than the equal length midpipes and the Active Autowerke Maad Maxx exhaust. Do you you know if that’s the case? The Akrapovic makes that much of an impact on the deep tone vs the active auto one? Really wanting to get something DEEP sounding with the ability to close valves and be quiet too
@Tommy L Garage so i have stock DPs and full akra; your difference is the AA midpipe correct? - Loving the sound and wanna replicate..
This maan
Sounds so good
You should buy new equal Milltek exhaust 🤷♂️
I would love to but I need a sponsor ha ha
Not good enough for the money mate. Mad max with equal length midpipe sounds so much better
This is quality
@@TommyLGarage Quality without the expected result, in this case sound. Not good enough. Sorry mate. Love the car but that's the truth
I am digging the sound, but am not a fan of the pops. Are the pops the result of the tune? I’m yet to put exhaust on my F80 and plan to do it next month. I want it to be louder, but really want to avoid the pops.
Pops are oem but are made louder due to midpipe
And on today's episode of "breakfast with Tommy..." GREAT JOB, sounds great
Ha ha ha ha I know. You should join us one day
@@TommyLGarage That would be fun!
Hi just wondering where the shop is located? Address please
Hammonton NJ
Should of done a muffler delete...a waste of money.
Nope. I like my neighbors
wow where do u live , thats a lot of rust on the underbody
New Jersey. I drive it 365
Wow, you cut up a $4k exhaust :0
Hope you like it, no returnsies now!
I would not dare return it :)
Should’ve muffler delete w custom tips
Too loud
I plan on doing this as well. I'm currently running the AA single mid w/ the oem muffler. Thanks for the content.
Finally a true manual bimmer with 3 pedals!!! Seems like everybody has DCT cars, although they're faster they aren't nearly as fun to drive as a manual. You must be pretty successful to buy that catback and chop it up. Wanna be friends?
Chopping it up was the only way!
I got a half chub hearing that exhaust 🙃🔥
Haha
I have a feeling next setup will be a AA equal length mid pipe matted to the Akra. 😝
Nope. I’m against equal length. Makes the car sound like a Japanese Import
@@TommyLGarage I was thinking the same thing, your next set up will be equal length.
Hi Tommy, you bought your M3 new right? How did all your exhaust mods affect your factory warranty and maintenance plan??
Exhaust mods did not affect it at all. But I did tip my SA $100 each visit :)
It would have worked out better to cut the mid pipe rather than chop up a 4k slip on. Sad moment there. Sounds good though. (Grammar edit)
The thing is I will never use the Akra midpipe. But I CAn always switch up the exhaust
Finally I get to hear it! Its so great with the valves opened. Always night and day difference then stock. I wonder if it is louder than my Remus setup
I think your set up might be just a little bit louder. They’re both great set ups though
how do you pass inspection from the state for emissions?
I still have my cats on the Downpipe
@@TommyLGarage thanks for the quick reply, I did not see the Cats with your AA downpipes, my bad.
Was hopeful with the title and tbh better than some, but still got that empty vacuum note. It's just not possible with S55.
In real life it sounds amazing.
Hi I just followed your lead and got the Akrapović exhaust cut and added to my F83 with AA mid pipe same set up as you had. I have an ESS tune with GTS burbles. With the addition of the Akrapović exhaust, there are now no more burbles? Any suggestions? I have reached out to ESS and they stay it is a function of the exhaust muffling things. This is even with the valves open. Also there is a constant booming which is unpleasant to say the least. Any suggestions?
Can’t help much since you since you have a different tune.
Are you running stock or aftermarket downpipes ?
@@TommyLGarage stock DP. How do you like the bootmod tune?
Man, I really wish Brian expands his business to Georgia ATL too.
I know. One day he will
This combo paired with the equal length mid pipe from Active Autowerke would probably be heavenly. I know you just installed this solution but you should check out the equal length mid pipe as you still get the fart can sound over 4.5K rpms.
Actually the fart can issue has been eliminated with this single design mid pipe. It gives the car a deeper sound. The equal length pipe in my mind sounds like a Nissan
Damn guess I’m the only one that likes the rasp... it’s vintage BMW in-line 6 sound
Say no to rasp !
I just did this and cut up an akra rear and completely regret it. It sounds worse than OEM muffler. I have catless dp’s and aa midpipe. The akra is a little deeper tone, but it is quieter. Looking to make my car loud and this is not it. Akra on aa mid sucks.
If you wanted loud then why did you get a muffler at all? Just go mufflerless
Does this void warrenty?
Nope
Dear @TLG i have seen different midpipes on you tube to that rasp. I' ve noticed that you've installed the AA single midpipe. Few days ago i saw the new AA equal lenght pipe and i wonder what is the better solution? Yours or the new one? For now my axle back exaust its the OEM but i'll get problaby a REMU or an Akrapovic like you have in your car.
Like to have your opinion.
Thanks and best regards from Portugal.
Get the single midpipe. Deep tone and eliminates rasp. Equal length makes the car high pitched and keeps the rasp
@@TommyLGarage thanks for your reply. Keep up the good work my friend. Make some videos with fly bys with your new set up.
Nice man. I wonder if you could just figure out a way to extend the tips somehow and just poke them out a little.
We looked at it and unfortunately there is no way. But I’ve got a solution in the works so stay tuned!
Please make a video of just car mic-ed up under different loads: pulls, revs, up shifts, down shifts.
Working on it this week
Almost sounds like an N55.
Nooooooooooooooo!!! :)
@@TommyLGarage Low rev range it's sorta close.
What tune are you running ?
Bootmod3 stage 1
Where is this BMW demigod is located because I’m debating on going with the E 92 three or the F 80 in the next two years just want to know which one is easier to fix on
This is fairly easy
Tommy L Garage what is your boy location I would love to talk to him personally especially on the M4 and the crank hub issues which are easy to fix on
Where is this shop located
Hammonton NJ
This whole time I can’t believe I never subscribed..... I just smashed tht button bro...love your content 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Now go tell your million friends!!! :)
Did you get the sound kit? Or just using the ecu valve controls?
Ecu valve controls
11:00 " Is that closed??", " No that's open".. 😭😭😭 this car really needs a better exhaust to match its look bc this one definitely ain't the one
I love it. In person it looks fantastic
Tommy L Garage dont get me wrong tho, to each their own , you can read every comment here but none of them matter bc at the end of the day we build our cars to our own taste so f what me and everyone else who doesn't like it says, keep doing your thing tommy thats why we are subscribed 👌🏻
Quite a buy for sure, hope you got a discount......crazy expensive!:)
With the price for sure
Should’ve came like that from the factory
I know!!
Jeez that is loud
But it’s so much fun!
it sounds mean! Nice work! What are your thoughts on the M Performance Exhaust?
MPerformance is too raspy in my opinion
The only way to make these sound good is the single turbo kits IMO
Or a v8 swap !
Sounds wicked , trying to attain that sound without spending so much..
Midpipe it is !
Which diffusor is this?
Hey their a company called CG precision that make a valve controller that plugs in to the exhaust that has two modes you can either have it be like factory if you like every time you start the car or have the valve open with a push of a button for a cold start
But my car comes with those valves from the factory. They stay closed when the car is in efficient mode and are open when I put the car in sport or sport plus
Tommy L Garage yea but this is basically A controller that you could control it without switching to sport , sport + . I have it on mine for my neighbors don’t hate me when I start my car at 5 am everyday but when I leave work I like to do a cold start with the valve open .. I don’t like the people at my job😂
Sounds very similar to VRSF downpipe AA midpipe and ZCP rear.
Yes and no. As soon as you press on the gas it sounds different, especially on the outside.
Definitely one of the best exhausts out there. My favorite is valvetronic designs tho:)
Thanks!
Sound perfection 🏆☑️, outstanding product plus the two bmw best guys together Brian and Tommy what else we can ask for. Kudos to you guys🙏🏻
Thanks! I’m glad you liked it
Are the crackles/burbles the stock ZCP ones, or a tune? Thanks!
They’re stock ZCP
Quite an exhaustive journey, Tommy!
Sounds wonderful!
Deep, aggressive notes.
Well done, Gents !!
Thanks! I’ve always wanted Akra
Is that how you are supposed to say Akrapovic?? Two years of ownership and I’ve been saying it wrong all this time 😖
Oh yes. Although here in America we are free to call it however we want ha ha
A-crap-o-vic
Need catless downpipes to hear the glorious spoooooool
I would hate the smell
Sounds 🔥🔥🔥... I’m going to Brian and saying I want Tommy’s exhaust set up lol
Justin Depas do it!!!
How dare you butcher such a beautiful piece of art.
I made it into an abstract art !
Curious to know why not just go with the M Performance V2 exhaust ? For more of that OEM plus look with the MPE exhaust tips ?
Because it sounds like shit with downpipes. Probably the most horrific sound my ears have ever heard in person. Akrapovic did their homework and system sounds good with or without downpipes.
hamann fair enough!
The mpe is pretty raspy
Agreed. Rasp turned me away
Love your videos, but 5 ads in a 15 mins video is too much.
Jason Jia I don’t control the ads. I also pay for TH-cam premium which eliminates the ads. Last but not least: I put on a lot of work into content, so is it that horrible if I get rewarded a bit by TH-cam ?
aren't you selling this thing?
Nope. I mean maybe. Not in a rush
Sounds amazing! Ever since i put the akra down pipes on, plus the mpe i had. The raspiness went crazy in sport mode. A little bit better in sport+. Not sure why
Because it’s all in the midpipe. Single midpipe eliminates rasp
Tommy L Garage does the mpe include the midpipe?
No. It eliminates the secondary cats
Tommy L Garage ok thanks. Guess I will look into some midpipes for my next mod
