Do chargepipes that actually fit the F8x correctly exist?

When I sold my M3 (last week) I left the charge pipes on, but put the factory airboxes back on. Fit like a glove.

So is there any fear that the ess ones will rub and have issues being silicon as mentioned?

No issues at all.

Nope. No rubbing. Quality product 👌🏻

I have a pair of FTP tuning charge pipes. The fit is 100% perfect. No rubbing and or touching anywhere, only thing I did was rotate the grommet connector out a bit.

What's the benefit over the alloy pipes?

I am torn between the ess silicon or the Phoenix racing BMS pipes.

I'm worried the ess will run or puncture

No heat soak on silicone vs aluminum would be the main benefit, plus the silicone has a little more flexibility to adjust fitment. Less connections since no coupler is required for the silicone “pipes” so fewer potential spots for boost leaks as well. Either will work, but Tom@eas recommend the EaS silicone charge pipes to me so I went that route.

ESS silicone pipes are 5-ply, typically reserved for tractors/diesels that see 3x the boost levels we're running.

Heat soak, flexibility during install, spark plug changes etc...

We have a few hundred sets of chargepipes in the wild. I've personally corrected about half a dozen botched installs from "experienced" techs who simply don't understand that they need to loosely fit the pipes with the cover on first prior to tightening everything down

Beemerm3 · 01-02-2020, 08:57 PM

Do I need to tune for new pipes installs?

wdskukm3 · 01-09-2020, 04:29 PM

How much do those BP engineering charge pipes go for again.

ESS silicon pipes here, fits great, no issues. BM3 stage 1.

I had an aftermarket set before (aluminum) which did have fitment/rubbing issues, but worked.

Actually, I still have them, need to sell them.

Smee · 01-18-2020, 12:32 PM

Ess people. Can you please do me a small favour and take some pictures of the chargepipes fitted without the engine cover. Ideally showing the rear pipe as it bends down as mine is rammed against the liner!! And also the front Airbox. I think mine might need adjusting

Sure man. Just snapped a few quick and dirty (quite literally) pics for ya. I see what your concern may be (see my last pic) but I would say mine is barely "kissing" the liner, vs your "rammed" against it. Maybe try and refit by slightly twisting it toward the front pipe? 🤔
