Active Autowerke Midpipe paired with VRSF Catless Downpipe and REMUS Exhaust

 

Ar Design Catless w/ Resonators + AA Midpipe + MPE

Active Autowerke has established itself as a leading provider of high-quality BMW performance products for over three decades. With a dedication to enhancing performance and delivering top-notch products, Active Autowerke has become synonymous with power. Our focus on developing refined BMW performance parts with power in mind is exemplified by our F80 M3 and F82 mid pipes, which are valuable additions to our F8X BMW collection.

The Active Autowerke F8X Mid Pipe is meticulously crafted to eliminate the restrictive nature of the OEM F80 M3 and F82 M4 mid pipe, resulting in optimal exhaust flow and significant performance improvements. In our pursuit of perfection, we sought to address the issue of an annoying sound often described as that of a weed-eater. Through extensive research and testing, we discovered that the synchronization of the turbos was the primary factor contributing to this sound. To solve the problem, we designed a single mid pipe that effectively reduced the unwanted noise. Additionally, we overcame the challenge of fitting a large 3.5" pipe for optimal performance without compromising ground clearance by implementing an oval pipe design. Engineered to fit perfectly on both the F80 M3 and F82 M4, the power difference achieved with this mid pipe is immediately noticeable upon installation.

Key Features:

  • Gain of 18+ WHP over stock*
  • Gain of 30+ LB-FT over stock*
  • Improved performance with reduced back pressure
  • Deeper and throatier exhaust note
  • Less restrictive and more free-flowing
  • Lighter weight compared to the factory system
  • Quicker turbo spool
  • Increased low-end and mid-range power
  • Single-pipe design eliminates the cheap "weed-eater" sound from the factory exhaust

* Performance gains when paired with Active Autowerke F8X Rear Exhaust Section

Our F8X Mid Pipe is part of a comprehensive upgrade that includes the Active Autowerke F8X Rear Exhaust Section. Together, these components deliver exceptional results, as showcased in our performance figures:

RED Line – Stock Figures: 380 WHP | 371 WTQ BLUE Line – Full Active Autowerke Exhaust: 398 WHP | 401 WTQ GOLD Line – Full Active Autowerke Exhaust Run 2: 397 WHP | 398 WTQ

Please note that the Active Autowerke Full Exhaust System is highly recommended for off-road or racing applications, but not limited to them.

Performance Mid Pipe Redesign: The factory F8X exhaust system incorporates two silencers in the middle and rear to dampen noise. While this design helps with drone, it also restricts exhaust flow and amplifies the uneven turbocharger sound that many owners find displeasing.

In our analysis of the F8X exhaust, we concluded that we could achieve more with less. Therefore, our redesign of the F80 M3 and F82 M4 exhaust began with the highly restrictive mid pipe. Through our innovative design, we significantly increased exhaust flow while virtually eliminating the "dueling 3-cylinders" sound.

M3/M4 Mid Pipe Performance Advantages: To maximize gains, we applied trade secrets to our mid pipe design, just as many of our competitors have. However, we wanted our F8X Mid Pipe to stand out from the rest.

Unlike the factory mid pipe and the mid pipes offered by our competitors, we opted for a singular pipe design for several reasons. Firstly, this design eliminates the cheap weed-eater sound that is often complained about. Not only does it eradicate the un-M3-like sound, but it also produces a deeper and more harmonious tone, aligning with the expectations of a performance car crafted by the ///M Division. Naturally, this increased flow results in a surprising power boost. Furthermore, eliminating the extra pipe allowed us to reduce weight, leading to improved overall performance!
