Ayy! Whats up everyone!? Here is a little sneak peak of what my exhaust setup looks like. The V8 really sounds like a monster! No muffler. No resonator. DONT FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE! CHANGED MY INSTAGRAM RECENTLY @A1BRIAN - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
1:10 I'm a JDM fan, but I really respect the craftsmanship and I love the sound of this car, especially with the exhaust dual set up and bumper swap you did
Thanks! Had to do my research. Im a JDM fan too.
A1Brian these 540is are actually little bmw easter eggs... you can find them cheap, kinda reliable and they sound GREAT with a decent exhust set uo
Yea with a V8, 6 speed manual and reliable! I had to do it up. Its like the forgotten BMW.
I just saw two cops talking and when you drove by, they both looked at you. Uh oh.
No.1 😂😂 this exactly happened to me before but all good so far!
Best 540i sound of all time great work
Thank you!
Dude this sounds amazing. I have my 540 with a single straight pipe, because of the diffuser, like you said - super cool that you made room for the double. Totally true what you said about the drone too, unless I’m giving it gas, it runs super quiet.
I still have it to this day. Puts a smile on my face every time😂
I can't lie man this sounded spicy as hell. You definitely gave me some inspiration with this one.
TheMysticSpade Thanks man! I appreciate it. Your 540i is pretty fresh also. Ive seen it on YT before, just forgot what your name was😂
After hearing this I might be getting rid of my Magnaflow single and doing a catback like this. Sounds superb!!
GEOTEK Home Services Of Gloucester, VA This car did come with a magnaflow muffler and resonator delete when i bought it. It sounded better then stock. But this is the way to go😂
Sounds bad ass! I did the same thing for my Quad setup. I am still able to fit my spare wheel but it's at an angle. I also have the M5 resonator.
WikedTechniQz Fresh🔥 Do you still get the pops with the resonator?
@@A1Brian I don't. I am thinking of getting high flow cats
Yea that should help
I just bought a 97 540i for 3k with high mileage. I plan on fixing the engine to top notch & after that putting an exhaust with headers & making it a beast. Love the car man
yungboy J With the headers it should sound like a monster!
Sounds so good,thinking of getting a 540i
MrTbag El Do it up bro!
@@A1Brian hey bro im getting one canadian e39 540i for 9k.200,000km on odometer and timing chain done at 160k. i lowkey wanna get it. car looks clean
Dam 9k? Is it 6 speed manual?
@@A1Brian yea $9k and it’s an automatic haha
See if they will go down in price
Sooo clean bro, I like you vibe keep up the videos
Thanks bro!
Thanks for the video, I like your solution to mod for dual pipes out the back. looks great and sounds nice.
Thanks bro. Appreciate you
Those lovely e39s. Never get old. My uncle just randomly auctioned an e39 m5 but he’s gonna sell it right away because they sell for plenty. I want him to keep it tho!😭
Yaseen Ali Thats awesome! I would keep it for a little bit. Just to drive it around. And then if he wants to sell it, he could.
Sounds so goodddd. I’m a Vq guy I have a 370z but damn that bmw clean.
XImperialX Thanks bro!
Drove one of these with pretty much same setup. Blew my ears out
Marko Niicceee!
Sounds amazing my guy! Can’t go wrong with a German V8
Alexander Granados You right about that!🔥
@@A1Brian would have tried a dynomax bullet type resonator instead of straight(ultra flo rather)
Nice👌🏼
Omg that v8 growl and the pops. I need one now.
Sounds crazy🔥
Nice video. Can you make one inside the car while driving. Loving the Sound of that V8 ! Great job.
Simon O'Ferrall Thanks man. Yea i will see if i can put it in one of my videos!
Sounds amazing 👌🎶
Thanks🙋🏻♂️
An incredible car man! Congratulations on the machine! The sound must be insane in person! Well, I would like to ask you a question, is that little oil burning normal? I have this doubt! I would appreciate it if you could respond! I wish you all the best man! May God bless and protect your life and your family!!!
Thank you. I appreciate it. I would say the oil burn is normal on a high mileage car. God bless to you and yours!
Sounds amazing!!!
That car looks and sounds awesome!
Thanks!
Great body work on the back your car looks great.
Mike Nolan Thanks bro!
mass gang 💪🏽
Ricka Ricka We out chea🔥
Thanks to this video I've decided that my next car will be a 540. Fucking sick car man
ikoner Go for it man! Thanks big time!
It sounds badass
Thank you
Sick car dude😎
MOEY786 WADIA I appreciate it!
Love it planning on going dual exhaust on my e39 too
Thanks! It sounds and looks really good.
MA State Police's worst enemy right here, wicked loud V8
wokilla 😂😂 Dam right!
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽💯💯💯💯 Amazing!!!!!
douglas escobar jr Thanks bro!
Great vid! Sounds perfect . Who needs expensive mufflers ! So 540’s don’t have resonators like the E39 M5?
mireliom The 540i has a Y resonator but we deleted that too!
Lovely car man, sounds amazing too! I've got a 04 330ci but wanting a 540i for ages! E39s have become so expensive in the UK though 😭
I have both. I have the 04 330 and an 02 540. Love the 540 more.
@@dawhitecastle nice! Ive actually got an E63 645ci now as well! But still looking at an E39 540 👍
Yo that v8 sounds vicious
Yea its crazy🔥
Now I know how to wake up my neighbors, Brian 😂😂🙏
Haha. Let them know, its time to wake up!
that shit sounds good asf
Thanks bro
Very clean sir
kampoutkid Thanks bro!
Next or myb this year i must to buy this 👿😍
Patrik Jambrović Definitely get one!
Nice car bud!
crematedable Thanks!🙋🏻♂️
Nice car broo
Appreciate you✊🏼
This just made my decision on buying a 540i
Nice!👌🏼
Great Sound! Where did you buy the diffuser? I also have a 540 i and want to fit a four pipe exhaust on it.
Cheers!
Thanks! I bought the diffuser on ebay
That point where you said it goes from being really quiet to loud could be vanos (euro vtec)
Oh yea i know what vanos is. I was trying to explain how if you stay at a steady speed. Its quiet. But when you get on it. Its loud.
Sounds sick 🔥 you mind if I can email you some questions ? I’m thinking about picking one of these things up and I wanna know a little more about em
DJ Aux Thanks bro! Yea my IG is @A1Brian
Don’t you have problems with cops? 😂 This thing sounds so good. That’s what I am expecting from V8. So you did straight pipe with muffler and resonator deleted?
Kamil Tonka 😂😂 na. No problems with the cops so far. But it sounds nasty! Yea straight piped. No muffler. No resonator. I put pics of the exact setup in the video.
A1Brian Is it 6-speed manual or 5-speed automatic?
Kamil Tonka 6 speed manual🔥
A1Brian Damn! That’s cool. I’m thinking about buying one 540i. Do you have Instagram or something like that? I would like to get some help from you 😄
@@kamiltonka510 Yea i do. Its @A1Brian. Let me know if you got any questions. I'd be happy to help
Man I could sleep to this hahahah
Nice!👌🏼
Hiiiii Bro can you make a video of how it sounds when you kick down please🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
😂 One day
Omg it's fucking beast bro 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼🥶🥶🥶😱😱😱
Thanks bro🙋🏻♂️
Thinking of getting one as my personal first car only thing that im not sure about is the mpg as its a hefty v8
Its not that bad. Really depends on how much gas is at the moment.
Sounds very aggressive but no for a daily driver. I like it more decent and loud only when you floor it. But enjoy it you are still young. Truth is whatever you do V8 will always sound awesome
Patrik Lukac Gotta live it up while you can! Thanks tho!
Can you make a video showing how you bent the spare tank from the bottom
I will see. But you basically grab a jack. Strong 3 inch piping. And jack it up against the spare well where the straight pipe will go. Just watch out for the battery.
You absolutely need an x-pipe. As of right now it sounds like two 4 cylinders running at the same time
Biocasm Do you know what the difference would be if i add it?
X pipe wouldnt separate the sound in my opinion as u joining 2 pipes into 1 again. . The only way to separate the sound of the 2 heads would be by having a slightly longer pipe on 1 side with a bend in it. So 1 sounds before the other to help it burbble even more. But it sounds awesome as it is. U done a good job. Id b very much happy with that sound.
Thanks!
@@A1Brian an xpipe, merges the two sounds of the two sides of the motor, to get the proper v8 sound. Having each side of the block Unmerged gives you a hot rod exhaust setup.
Ahh i see. I have them unmerged right now.
My grandfather has the limited edition so far,the 540i has stock exhaust,then my aunt rev it,its soo fucking loud🤤🤣
Yea these cars sound so good!
Definitely love your set up I'm putting it to my you want to see transformation??
Thanks man. Sure!
Looks like my next car should be a 540i e39, am in
Lee Molai lets go🔥🔥
Hopefully in 3 to 4 months time I'll be owning 1
I hope you do! Such a great car!
I wanna drive so bad but gotta wait 5 years and that’s the car I want
Its going to be awesome man!
can’t wait to make my m5 this loud - SMPL.m5
Jezyhh Do it up bro! That thing looks clean💦
gang gang
You already know!
Sounds like n old school American muscle car in some ways
Yea you right
Very nice 5
Thanks🙋🏻♂️
this dude looks like a normal 6ix 9ine
parker36k 😂never got that one before
I love it looks so clean :P hey can you tell me what song is in the video please ? Cant find it :(
Thanks! I will let you know when i get home. I know its from youtube
A1Brian thank you werry much sir ! Well apriciated 😊😎
@@user-uy5xv8by5x Its called Kalimba. Its from the TH-cam studio
I’m only 17 but I really want this as my first car. I’m very into cars so I can exchange sparkplugs and those kinds of things by myself. Is it expensive to maintain/repair and what problems hav u had yet?
Nicee! As long as the timing chain guides and vanos is done. Nothing major. Keep an eye on the cooling system. Only problem i really have is the radiator. On my 3rd within a year😂
Get you and x pipe put in there!
Ive been thinking about it
I bet an X crossover would really clean up the sound....
Yea ive heard it before. Sounds more thunderish. Im getting an x pipe next time i have to mess with the exhaust
Does it run well? Like any problems with it? Thinking of one for a first car
Sydney Carspots Yea they run good. Smooth. As long as nothings wrong with the motor. You should be fine.
Nice man👌 might get one but its auto for 4k
Thanks! If its an auto, be careful with the transmission. They tend to blow. Almost every friend i know with an auto trans, it went bad on them.
@@A1Brian oh straight up 🤔 damn its rare to find a manual e39 here in NZ
People are probably just holding on to them
Nice and clean car, what year is it? 280hp?
zll-HERRERA-llz 2000 BMW 540i sport package
ik what u talking about my e38 v8 have a muffler delete. and if I hold the gas pedal at a curtain point the car will cruise without slowing down and it makes the muffler noise silent like its stock exhaust
amari odom Yeeaa exactly! It saves me when im driving by cops😂
@@A1Brian soon imma delete the resonator to make it a sound like urs... sounds bad ass.
amari odom Yea this is good enough in my opinion. I have a friend who also took out the cats and its waayy to loud. Especially if you daily it.
dope how did you get the quad tips?
The tips are from the exhaust shop. Lous Custom Exhaust. They did the whole setup.
IS that a reliable car ? I want to buy it because of this video 😂🔥
I would say it is. As long as the major things are repaired on it.
Main thing is coolant system. Otherwise these things will run forever!
So is it just a catback exhaust with no muffler or resonators? Do you have custom headers?
Yea. No custom headers
A1Brian Cool, thank you!
This is the nastiest sounding 540i I have ever heard in my life. I also have a 540/6 speed. How did you get the second pipe to clear the spare tire tray?? Did you just bash the metal in to make way? Thanks in advance!
Yuma Okamoto Thanks! I had to get a dual diffuser. And for the spare well. I basically smashed a 3” pipe in to dent it up. To make space for the exhaust pipe.
@@A1Brian My Man! It almost looks factory from the pictures. You did a fantastic job. I'll try that method! You're a lifesaver!
Yuma Okamoto No problem! Do it up🔥
🥰🤤
Better than c63 amg sound 😍
Yep so true
starsaberfan39 in Germany you can't do that $ 1,800 fine fuck Germany
Big Moe You know it🔥
@@bigmoe6985 damn i always thought America was strict on stuff like that but 1800$ is a bit much have a good day
Not
Wow
Thanks!
You thought about a H Pipe bro? Or do you think it would muffle it too much?
I was thinking about a X pipe. I heard it before. Sounds more like thunder
Did you lose or gain power? How is the fuel consumption now?
Duran Stephen Kinda hard to tell. Still has the low end torque. The gas is about the same too. No big changes.
Sick. Where did you get the headlights?
Lethal Redd Thanks! The headlights are the face lift ones. Like from 01-03 with the halos. They came with the orange/ amber corner lens. All i did was change the lens to the clear/ euro kind.
@@A1Brian Nice touch
How did you change the amber lens?
Brandon Sarhad Baked the headlights. Ordered the lens with the clear corners online.
did u cut in the spare tire area to fit the otherside of the exhaust?
I explain it in the video. Basically bashed it up with a pipe and jack.
@@A1Brian ah my bad, missed that part xD
will I be able to get the same sound if i did a dual exhaust tip on the left side only?
Yes. It wont be as loud but similar.
@@A1Brian was thinking about deleting the secondary cats & the muffler. then keep the resonator n have a 3” straight pipe coming after the resonator
Sounds like a good setup. Probably will gain some power getting rid of the cats too
I’m from Massachusetts as well how do the cops treat you riding round clean like that
Nuìt saìnt Moise Ay we neighbors! I havent ran into cops yet. Luckily😂
A1Brian Ight cool, how you like daily driving it. I’m getting myself a e39 528i looking to do some mods as well
Nuìt saìnt Moise Right now im not driving it because i have to send the ABS module out for a rebuild. Should be a video on it soon. But other then that its great! What kinda mods you looking to do?
A1Brian I’m looking to buy a m52 b28 motor
Nuìt saìnt Moise You going to do internal machining or leave it stock? Some bolt ons?
If you ever sell this car let me know so hard finding bmw 540i manuals near me in Maryland
Eryk-Amon Goode 😂 Ok i will keep it in mind
It’s a couple for sale in VA
This sounds almost like a W204 C63, it's too bad that modern European performance cars don't have that American V8-esque exhaust anymore, they sound too quiet compared to these 2000s-early 2010s vehicles. Some models like the M3 went totally away from the V8 too which sucks
Yea almost. Ive always liked the early 2000s BMWs over the newer ones. Some of them are good.
U should install an x pipe better sound
Hector Arias Ive heard it with an X pipe.It sounds similar to me. 🤔I feel like this way, it sounds more deeper
Did you notice and torque loss in any range of the rpm?
cody melvin Na not really. Still has the low end torque. Sounds like a monster at higher RPMs!
Beast Media that’s good. Yeah man it sounds really good. How did they mount the exhaust where the y-res used to be?
cody melvin They added a bracket with a hanger and welded it to the pipe. Kinda like how it is for a muffler.
If I ever get a BMW it's gone be between the 540i & 745i because I rather have a v8 lol
v8 Tae V8 is the way to go!👌🏼
Sounds so sick””” it’s basically an M5 right ?
Alex Carpenter 😂😂 Almost! Closes i could get to one for now.
LMAO......
how did you prop up the spare wheel housing....heat and a jack?
Anthony Michael I got a jack and some 3 inch black plumbing piping and i jacked it up into the spare where the pipe would go. I explain it in the video.
@@A1Brian ok i understand better now....but did it just bend easily or did you have to use some kind of heat like a torch to warm the metal?
Anthony Michael Na i didnt use heat or anything. Kinda have to do it a couple of times and then it will bend easier.
@@A1Brian alright cool thanks so much...
How’s the mileage on this thing tho? 😂Ik not the type of question u ask for these cars buh I can’t help buh ask
Ethan Villarreal Its not that bad. Its like 24g highway and 18g city
Saludos desde España mi nombre es solerboyz me gustaría saber datos del escape si es posible importar uno de América a España no encuentro nada por aqui y los que ai no suenan ni la mitad de bien
My Spanish is not that good. But from what i understand. I dont know about importing cars.
Does it drone on the highway?
No not really. If you are at a steady speed. It gets loud when you get on it.
Those pipe tails , what brand bro ?
Im not sure. I got them at the exhaust shop. The pipes dont have any words or them either.
tarzan
Already!
Anyway I can message you through IG? I want this exhaust set up sooooo bad
yungboy J Yea man. Links in the description. @A1Brian
Sound like my 740il
Yea i believe the engines are the same or very similar.
@@A1Brian m62
what burble tune do you have ?
StyleGaming No tune at all. I just did the exhaust setup and thats how it was.
With no resonators, it will make it pop a lot more for any setup you get
sounds extremly nice but for me its to much sound.
Thank you
What size tips?
No clue. Got them at the exhaust shop
Is it true dual or single?
True dual. Pics are in the video.
Put in an x pipe and it’ll sound 10 times better.
Ben Hurd I will think about it for the future. Ive heard how it sounds and its pretty good.
