VRSF Stainless Steel Midpipes ***New Product***

[TomOzz_F82]

Has anyone managed to fit these midpipes to the MPE exhaust yet? Ordered one and then realised the flaring of the midpipe tips is just going to butt up with the MPE not sit in the MPE.

It delete the secondary cats , they should make a version that instead there are small resonators to eliminate rasp

Finally got the time to install the mid pipes. Install went pretty smooth and took myself and brother a few hours. My car is a bone stock 2015 M4, i know there have been tons of requests of a sound clip on stock exhaust so ill try get one made up. All in all I'm super happy, sounds a bit deeper thank stock with almost the same drone levels. I have my exhaust valves unplugged and open at all times.

Easy to return to stock midpipe? Also is the one end bolted up using clamps or has to be welded?

Can't wait

Trying to figure this out as I bought this M4 with exhaust parts already installed and haven't physically looked under it to inspect: The car has Eisenmann catless downpipes and a Meisterschaft GT exhaust installed already. Does it still need midpipes or would those have been replaced already by the other parts?

is the GThaus an axle back or catback?

Just installed this morning on a 6MT Competition pack with the Comp Exhaust - a couple notes:

-- Fits great, a few tips for making the cuts:
1) remove the small metal brace right after the secondary cats to better access the pipe for cutting, 6 bolts
2) to avoid marring the heat shield directly behind the pipe, we made a partial cut which allowed us to move the pipe farther away from the body and then did the final cut. We tried to separate the exhaust at the flange first to pull it down that way, but the bolts are too long.

-- The VRSF flanges fit great, however they are almost double the thickness of the stock flange where the bolt goes through the flange and the nut seats. This means the nut does not thread as far in and barely catches the lock part of the nut. I'm hoping it will hold, wish they had machined this part down even further (it's already machined down from the rest of the flange surface).

-- The OEM gasket where the midpipe meets the downpipe is a lead tapered gasket (and the midpipe has a taper where it seats on the gasket. My car has 10k miles, one gasket stayed on the downpipe, and the other stayed on the stock midpipe. It was a huge pain to remove the one that was stuck to the midpipe, we ended up deforming the gasket and then had to reform it on a metal cone. I would strongly recommend getting an extra set of gaskets if you're doing this job just in case - they will have a tendency to stay on the tapered surface of the midpipe and is very difficult to remove (by design).

Sound: need to find time to record some videos. On first start-up it's not an amazing sound - especially if you blip the throttle - all the weird wastegate rattles and raspy-ness is still there and even louder. Doesn't bother me but just be aware...

Once the car warms up, it sounds fantastic. In 'efficient' mode, I don't notice a difference from stock. In 'sport' it is clearly louder, the burbles are more pronounced - sounds perfect to me for sportier daily driving. 'Sport +' it sounds much angrier - like brutally angry. In addition to the burbles, I can now clearly hear very loud "pops" - I noticed one right after aggressive accel to redline-ish as I was grabbing the next gear. They were there before but more muffled, now everything is super crisp in sport +. Sounds more exotic and just pissed off.

I'm happy with Sport mode now being the level of sound that I wanted for sporty daily driving. And Sport + being a new level of sound - in terms of volume and crispness - that I was trying to get with this modification.

I have not noticed any power increase.
