Masata charge and J pipes

BMW DIY Guy · 10-27-2021, 09:22 AM

I am excited to share my latest install DIY for all BMW F8X owners, especially those running stock charge and J pipes!

Masata is a fantastic company of enthusiasts, and I was really happy to get my hands on their upgrades for the S55 motor. I am really impressed with the build quality of their pipes, and eager to get this in an amazing F80 M3.

Please check it out, and if you are still running stock, I highly recommend this upgrade!

Just curious is the j-pipe supposed to be loose when installed? Seems to have a lot of play and would cause boost leaks at throttle body??? If seen other vids where the j-pipe is installed but moves freely. I know there is o-ring. I have this CTS Turbo J-pipe going in soon... Forward to 3:50 into the video below to see what I'm talking about:

It will turn for sure but press down on the pipe once the clip is in place. This will ensure the pipe is up high enough and clip in the right place, as it won't come off. If it does, reseat and reset the clip.
