Today was the day that my M3 got the sound to match the looks! I've been waiting to pull the trigger on a mid pipe for some time now but felt like none of the ones available provided the sound I was looking for...until today!!

Huge thanks to Mike from XPH for the quick shipping and awesome communication.

The install was done in my garage on a set of ramps, 1 jack, 1 jack stand. Basic hand tools in conjunction with a sawzall was all that was needed to transform my M3 from meek to sounding like a true M car.

Hats off to Active Autowerke for releasing the perfect mid pipe for the G80 M3's.

The sound is truly unbelievable and I strongly encourage anyone on the fence to jump and buy the Active Autowerke equal length mid pipe ASAP!!

Check out my video for before and after comparisons.

Car sounds amazing brother, happy to hear you're enjoying it!

Love it, thanks for sharing. Yet another thing I need to save for.

I assume everything else you have is stock, yes?

You're welcome! You won't regret saving up for it. The sound is truly intoxicating. Everything else is stock.

It's amazing how great it sounds without making any additional upgrades!

Thanks for the vid, very well done! The EL mid pipe sounds awesome, no rasp at all. How was highway driving? Any drone at all in any rpm range? (I have a manual, little concerned about HW drone where 6th gear is short in the manual)

Sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing. I already have the AA single midpipe (which I love), but it really seems like the new AA equal length midpipe takes it to the next level. Now the difficult decision on whether to keep well enough alone, or sell my single mid for the new equal length!!

Thanks for checking the vid out! I haven't experienced any drone at all and while cruising around its barely louder than stock. When you hit the throttle it gets loud and sounds mechanical & has a true motorsport sound to it.

Thanks my man! I'm sure you're car sounds terrific with the AA Single but I agree with you that the EL takes it to another level. It sounds perfect to me.

Sounds amazing . What's the diff between single mid pipe vs equal length?

The single midpipe converts the midpipe into a single pipe, while the equal length maintains the dual pipe design but ensures both pipes have the same length, unlike the stock one with unequal lengths, which results in a less appealing exhaust sound.

I have tried both, and the single midpipe is a nice upgrade, as it cleans up the sound at high RPMs, eliminating any raspiness, and produces a much deeper exhaust tone in the mid-range.

On the other hand, the equal-length midpipe completely transforms the sound. It doesn't resemble the stock exhaust at all. With the valves closed, a subtle increase in volume with an added growl. When the valves are open, it delivers an aggressive sound that immediately grabs people's attention.

Appreciate it Mike. Thanks for the explanation .

Welp, just placed my order on X-PH thanks to this stupid forum and your dumb video! I can’t not have this now that I know it exists

In all seriousness though, thanks for the video and thanks Mike for all the information around the other options on this platform. I’ve been sitting by waiting for the perfect exhaust setup and I think this midpipe is it for me

On average it's taking 1-3 business days

No chance you can overnight it so I can install it before my track session this Friday?! 😁

You’re welcome! I’m glad this stupid forum and dumb video pushed you over the edge!! 😉
You’re going to be glad you waited!

We can, but overnighting such a large box will cost you a fortune.

If you are interested, you should call me to get the order processed asap. The more we wait, the more it's going to cost.
