Upgrade Chargepipes and J Pipe?

DocsF90M5 · 01-01-2020, 02:17 PM

Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

Current power mods include:

Dinan heat exchanger
Dinan stage 3 (DINANTRONICS) tune
Dinan intakes
Active Autowerke midpipes
Akrapovic titanium evolution axle-back

In the near future, will be upgrading to:

VRSF (or similar) catless downpipes
BM3 stage 2 (93-oct) custom dyno-tune

Question: What is the consensus on upgrading the OEM chargepipes and J pipe?

Thanks in advance!

Definitely upgrade all three chargepipes and the top mount intercooler to prevent leaks.

The factory chargepipes are plastic and can/will fail over time. The top mount intercooler can leak but i don't think it is anywhere as risky as the chargepipes.

I would do the Jpipe as well if you're already doing the chargepipe. Most places sell them as a bundle so you can save a few bucks.

Goodluck
