VRSF Midpipe Review

M3PGH · 09-27-2018, 08:36 AM

Hey guys,
Just installed my VRSF midpipe on my 2018 comp pack M3 that is other wise stock. Man what a big difference that it makes. Sound really woke up and has a nice deep tone with the burbles really coming to life. With the windows up and in efficient mode the cabin noise is like stock but put it in sport plus and the car completely wakes up. So far loving the new addition, it's how the car should have come from the factory. Will update as I put more miles on it
Update:
After putting another 500 miles or so on the exhaust I have really grown to like the sound of this motor. Like stated before this midpipe add some rumble and deepness that the factory exhaust simply lacked. The pops and burbles just put a smile on your, they are just silly. There is no drone whatsoever with this exhaust at any speed even with the valves forced open. Will get an outside drive by video this week

Please post a video. I've been thinking about pulling the trigger on this but haven't been able to find any decent videos

TrueNorthM5 · 09-27-2018, 08:05 PM

subscribed for videos. Hoping for a nice option that doesn't cost 1000$+ to change the sound of the standard OEM exhaust.

Will post a video in the coming days. Definitely worth the $500 in my opinion and is the only exhaust mod the car needs to be more enjoyable

Any issues with fitment?

Subscribed. I know smart phone videos miss all the nuances and richness of an exhaust but they do provide an idea. If these just neatly delete the secondary cats and keep the stock resonator then that's what I'm looking for!

Took a little tweaking, but my shop had it on in under an hour.

This is exactly what this does. Takes out the secondary cats and leaves the stock resonator in place. Trying to get a video posted this week, just need someone to record haha

Hello fellow PGH M3 owner! What area of town down you live and what color is your car wondering if I’ve seen you around?

Also, what shop are you going to for work?

mike@x-ph.com · 10-02-2018, 01:28 PM

Hey, I am in the South Hills area. My car is laguna seca blue m3. Do you go to any cars and coffee meets? PSK performance was the shop that installed this

Anyone know how to post a video from iPhone on here? Have a quick video of inside of how loud the burbles and backfires got

Outside in a parking lot
Put your phone somewhere by exhaust and rev to 1500 let off then to 2000 then 3000

Your car sounds like it has downpipes not sure this is sound effect of midpipes on a stock car. Also you seem to have burbles tune i've heard them before.
