I only really open the car up on track now and in that context it sounds incredible. So my driving is either 20% load on the street or 100% load on track, with nothing in between. If I had 50% driving on canyons then I'd consider going back to the non-resonated version to get a little more bark.

First, what were my objectives (in order of importance): - Get rid of the Tractor/Mower like sound with valves open. - Get a little bit more exotic sound than the plain vanilla S55 raspy sound. Well, objective achieved! Setup: Stock DPs - AA Equal Length Mid-section, AA Resonated (Passenger side only) end pipe, Stock ZCP Muffler I was looking to get rid of the tractor 3-cylinder sound, while not becoming an unbearably loud, rice-rocket, race-car, because IMHO, BMWs are sports cars for the street, not race cars. After switching to AA Equal Length Non-Resonated setup, I was initially very happy that it got rid of the tractor sound, but it introduced the following: - Ear piercing 3K rpm resonance/boom - Warm startups (open valves) screamed Rice-Rocket - Some rattles till car warmed up fully After following posts and listening to RugbyBro videos, I decided to switch to resonated pipes. However, I only replaced the Passenger side pipe with a resonated one, and all problems solved. Now: - Very very minor, almost exotic 3K rpm resonance which mellows down even more after warmup. - Warm startups (open valves) are appropriately aggressive for a sports car, and not a loud blat screaming I am a rice rocket. Your neighbors won't hate you anymore, lol. No need for BootMod to eliminate cold start routine. - Very minor rattles that disappear within 1 minute of startup. These are mostly coming from the well-known valve baffle areas, and the exhaust warming up. - The higher pitched exhaust note past 3-4K rpm still exists and is extremely enjoyable when driving through under-passes, or even merging into traffic. I don't have to WOT to enjoy the exotic sounds, they can be enjoyed on the street as well. All in all, a big thanks to RugbyBro and mike@x-ph.com for helping me achieve my objective. Thank you both! RugbyBro, I highly recommend, if you are good with the wrench, to put the car up on ramps, and swap the driver's side pipe back to non-resonated. I am pretty sure you won't regret it. IMHO, the 1 hour spent is at least worth the try. |

Hi all,
I received the equal length system from InkedCustoms and I am happy to report that I have not had any of the rattle/rasp/drone at 2-3k rpm that many seem to have experienced with the AA equal length. I have tried to emulate the rasp but fortunately have not been able to. I've driven in multiple modes. - Trans in auto and softest shift setting with the engine in comfort (it seems this is when the rasp/drone occurs for others) - Trans in manual and fastest shift setting with the engine in Sport+ I heard of this equal length from dubsesd who reported not experiencing any of the rasp/drone as well. Overall very happy with this exhaust setup currently. The tone is great and really screams up top but I could use more loud in the mid range so I am thinking of pairing with an Awe or Dinan muffler. Current setup: - InkedCustoms Catless Downpipes - Inked Customs Resonated Equal Length Midpipes - OEM Competition Muffler Those of you who are looking to get the equal length tone but are hesitant because of the reports of rasp/drone I highly recommend InkedCustoms! |

I'd like to see someone try to make equal length downpipes.
Though, I think space is the issue with that on the F8X. RB26DETT is an inline-6 twin turbo and there are aftermarket equal-length downpipes. Attached stock vs equal length. |

It's for my F82 M4 and it is manufactured by InkedCustoms. That's correct, no boom/resonance at 3k rpm |

I think my resonated catless downpipes is the key to running an insane sound. No high pitch, because the downpipes are catless but the resonator catches the frequency, Stock downpipes cannot even do this. I then paired it with the Single midpipe with a resonator, Stock muffler and shit sounds bananas

Upon reading this comment, I think I will have to switch up the exhaust set up immediately. I don't "hate" the smell of catless, yet, since it's winter and windows are always up. Option 1: get the resonated pipes section and installing on passenger side or do on both just to get rid of the rasp. Option 2: put back stock DP + non res midpipe and get an aftermarket muffler (remus? $$) Does anyone know how much louder the catless resonated DP + resonated equal length sound over just nonresonated midpipe+stock everything else? Thanks in advance guys!

May I recommend a set of our new catted downpipes. I think they will really help with the raspiness that you are experiencing.

I paired the AWE gen2 switchpath with the equal length non res mid pipe today. A family friend’s shop made two custom connector pipes.
https://youtube.com/shorts/RwBOVBRkMSw?feature=share I’ll make a proper YouTube video later this weekend.

Be warned, their first attempt at a EL exhaust was a build quality and customer service nightmare. Search for it in this thread
