Well that settles it for me. When I get an F80 (in Avus Blue), this will be my exhaust setup. The F80 exhaust grew on me so much and this example was the cherry on top.
I cannot wait to get the AA Signature Exhaust with this Single Mid pipe for my '21 M2 Competition! Sounds excellent on your M3 Comp! Everyone used to complain so much about the s55's tone, but honestly, being a guy who has owned 2 E46 M3's, an E36 M3, a 1M, an E92 M3 and various Porsche flat-six cars (currently have an '84 911 track car), I think the S55 has always been a great sounding engine, and it has alot more in common with the older N/A straight six sounds than people give it credit for (especially in the high RPM's, I think the S55 sounds even more aggressive than some of the N/A M-engines). It's also a super rev-happy engine with a high redline ("orange-line" at 7600, redline at 7800), especially for a twin turbo. Sure, it can't rev to 8300 like the S54 could, but it isn't much lower AND it's a wayyy more potent engine. Certainly has that "frictionless" feeling of an M-Division straight-six. The single mid-pipe definitely brings the S55 sound way more in line with a traditional M straight six. I think alot of the "odd" sound of the S55 engine comes from the goofy-ass stock exhaust design, Euro noise restrictions have resulted in alot of weird sounding high-performance engines, but with most of them, get rid of the stock systems and they sound like they always should have.
Completely agree with everything you said man! Sound is so subjective and so many people call it this or that, I think the single paired with any decent axleback and downpipe setup on these cars sound amazing. People get their panties in a bunch even tho this is historically how BMW’s have sounded 😂. Good insight man💪🏽
Sounds mean af bro. Glad you finally got the sound where you wanted, its been a journey lol. Things dope man, fav f80 on youtube hands down 👍🏼 keep going up 📈📈
it’s crazy the s55 twin setup sound kinda grew on me. i like that it’s a distinctive sound that only this engine produces that’s why i hated EQL’s cause it makes it sound like a 350z 😹
I knew when you mentioned a few weeks ago about no more mods for a bit..I'm like nahhh lol. I think the single midpipe sounds good and especially without the burbles.
Sounds so good. What made u go with AA and not VRSF? I have the vrsf single mid pipe paired with the vrsf downpipe and m performance exhaust, sounds amazing.
I’m just really good friends with the team down at Active so it makes working with them easier. I’ve ran vrsf on my previous bmws and never had an issue with them either 🔥
Hi, it seems connecting pipes of EL and Single are not iddentical :( i have 2 versions - res and non-res of them. So i have to buy another with single?
Damn! From what I saw they look close, but probably different welds. I would opt to order another probably and sell your EQL as a whole set. You should sell fast man! Like how you’re switching to the single too haha :)
Great vlog as always, now I have a question, do the resonated parts that go the muffler compatible with both midpipes? If thats true, I wonder how would single midpipe sounds paired with the resonated end of the equal length.
I thought it is compatible, but now i am afraid it's not. I have EL with both versions of connecting pipes and it seems now i have to buy another ones with change from EL to single.
What Ondrej said below man! They look like they would fit and crossover, but the welds are slightly different so you would have fitment issues. Thanks bro 💪🏽
@@F80Ho And as i checked your video with Single mid install, i have found out that we both have/had probably incorrect connecting pipes for EL with smaller resonaters. I guess these ones fits to res version of single mid. So i am still in hope some day i will find solution of decatt EL 2K buzzing issue :) (i am going to try bigger resonaters).
Fawk!!!! I knew I should have just went with the single pipe!!! It does sound better! Now, it is noticeable louder without the resonator? I don’t want it too loud.
Team Single definitely. Sounds great! But what about replacing the downpipe to mid pipe donut gaskets? They are one time use that will prevent any leaks.
I didn’t order any this time around, I will keep my eye and ears out if I hear anything abnormal. Also next time my car is on the lift I’ll just have them replaced
Yeah they're probably fine to re-use assuming they were replaced when he put the equal length on. They looked to be in good shape in the video but obv hard to tell.
I just got this midpipe but I selected the option to pair up with an aftermarket exhaust. Before I get an aftermarket exhaust, does anyone know if it will work with my stock exhaust first?? What is the difference in the options they offer??
Adding the competition sticker is like adding a vtec sticker on lol. If it's a dark badge we already know it's zcp. Competition is not in the model name like g80s dude

Loved my single on my car. Such an aggressive tone to it. Car is looking and sounding amazing homie!!
Thanks bro!!’ Loving the single so far 🔥🙌🏽🙌🏽
Sounds mean af bro. Glad you finally got the sound where you wanted, its been a journey lol. Things dope man, fav f80 on youtube hands down 👍🏼 keep going up 📈📈
Been a freaking mission 😂 thanks bro! Took everyone along for the ride haha.
Sounds nice bro, I used to have the AA single midpipe for a few years but switched to equal length resonated cause I think it sounds a lot cleaner
Def sounds cleaner but too quiet for my own liking haha 😅 love the EQL tho!
Officially the illest S55 exhaust note🔥 that turbski spool is absolute best!! M3 gang
Turbski Spool is legit the icing on the cake, best part for me personally besides eliminating the 2k rasp I was having before. Thanks bro 🔥 loving it
@@F80Ho you’re running the MPE rear right? Wish the MPE sold just the rear section.
@@F80_Nick stock comp muffler! My buddy @sham3s55 has a MPE rear for sale 🔥
my next mod is definitely a single mid pipe, sounds insane bro!
Hell yeah bro! Game changer haha
Bruhh sounds good. I think we got so used to the EL sound that we forget how aggressive s55s do sound with the single mid 😮💨😮💨
Facts bro! Now you got options to decide for the CS 🫠🫂😂🔥
Best sounding setup so far to my ears 🎶 👌🏼👌🏼. Glad you got it dialed in to your liking bro!
Thanks bro!!! Loving it, esp the turbo spool 😮💨!
Single MID is the way! Sheehs can’t wait to here it tomorrow 😏
DA WEI!!! lehgo, this paired w your MPE would sound insane 😮💨
it’s crazy the s55 twin setup sound kinda grew on me. i like that it’s a distinctive sound that only this engine produces that’s why i hated EQL’s cause it makes it sound like a 350z 😹
🤣🤣🤣 I can see that lol! I love the single man, made me fall in love all over again 💯💯💯
Nice video! I am thinking to install the same midpipe on my m2c but keep the rest stock. You think it Will make a big difference?
Definitely’ especially under load !
Good choice brotha. Sounds awesome👍. Love my AA set up, never gets old.
Our neighbors love us 😂🔥🔥🙌🏽 thanks man
I knew when you mentioned a few weeks ago about no more mods for a bit..I'm like nahhh lol. I think the single midpipe sounds good and especially without the burbles.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 the list never ends #donttelloursignifcantothers haha. Thanks bro 🙌🏽
Love the sound! I want a similar set up! Cool vid my guy! Thanks for the upload
Hell yeah! Thanks man! You’ll love this setup if you go for it 🔥
So nice buddy love that , hey what is the rims u have ?
What’s the whole exhaust set up? Is it stock mufflers/rear end of exhaust? And what kind of downpipes you have in the video?
In this video, stock comp muffler and catless downpipes
hi do you recommend single resonated or not resonated with catless downpipe??
Thank you
Depends how loud you want your car - I enjoyed my non resonated
Are the midpipes resonated?
Sounds awesome brother, enjoy!!!
Thanks bro!! Loving it 🔥
Single mid since day 1 🔥🔥
Should’ve switched teams long time ago 😂🔥
Would you lose any power potential going to a single?
Good question shuda did before n after dyno or sumn
Nah minimal hp if any. I’m not worried. Sound is what I’m chasing. My cars still fast being stage 2 ots
@@laykawest8674 hp is minimal, numbers are on active’s website tho
Any airflow modifications that turbo sounds sick
In this video, I was stock intakes surprisingly haha
best sounding f series ong you just made me want one now😂
😂 let’s go 🔥 worth it
And what is the diffuser u have ??
Sounds so good. What made u go with AA and not VRSF? I have the vrsf single mid pipe paired with the vrsf downpipe and m performance exhaust, sounds amazing.
I’m just really good friends with the team down at Active so it makes working with them easier. I’ve ran vrsf on my previous bmws and never had an issue with them either 🔥
Can you send me a vid how does you set up sound like?
ahhhh yes!!! 🙏. Damn bro I got the EL because of all your videos, now you're gonna make me switch haha 🤣
🤣😂😂😂 my b bro! I’m trying all these setups so everyone else doesn’t lol! Thanks tho 💪🏽
Nice instructions sounds great🔥🔥🔥
Thanks man!! Finally where I want it 🙌🏽
Is this setup deeper than when you ran EQL and stock DP?
Yeah 100%! Single will always be deeper 💯
I have primary decats and the single mid pipe and I think mine sounds louder for some reason haha
, best set up
Haha stock muffler too? Or which one could be the microphone lol and yessir it is 🔥🔥🔥
What axle back are you running? Complete setup sounds amazing!
Stock comp muffler man! Thanks bro appreciate it 🔥

Do you drive your car everyday? Or do you only drive it on the weekends?
Only to the gym/groceries during the week. Take my fiancés car mostly for daily use
Love this video but you still seem to get that horrible rasp fart when you let off throttle or at gear change! Have you overcome this?
Good video
I only get it once or twice, other than that I don’t hear it that much, not sure how to even turn that off haha
Thanks man! 🔥
@@F80Ho I do not think you can turn it off it’s an S55 characteristic 😔
Is this the ps high kick wing? Also is it the comp package exhaust with the m carbon tips?
Yeah psm style wing! And nah, these are aftermarket tips!
Finally a exhaust setup i like for the f80s thank you for going thru this so we didnt have too 😂
😂😂😅😅😅 gotchu man!
Sounds so good! Fire! 🦎🌿🔥
LESS GOO 🎶🔥😘

Good luck man! Hopefully that’s the fix! I heard catted downpipes also fix the trick, but would make the car too quiet for me 😅
@@F80Ho Aftermarket catted DP are very expensive step back :) installation of oem DP with EL is the last option after single mid :)
Fawk!!!! I knew I should have just went with the single pipe!!! It does sound better!
Now, it is noticeable louder without the resonator? I don’t want it too loud.
Definitely louder, but with valves closed it’s like stock. Even w valves open it’s not that loud inside. Outside I bet it sounds real nice n loud lol
Much better!
I’m saying! Thanks man 💪🏽
can you make a comparison video of single and EL with your standing revs and flybys 👌
Yessir, me and Danny making one soon 💯
Team Single definitely. Sounds great! But what about replacing the downpipe to mid pipe donut gaskets? They are one time use that will prevent any leaks.

@@benadams8525 yeah, next time if anything, I’ll get new ones. I went under the car this week and no leaks 🙌🏽🔥
Bro hello, did you get better mpg after going catless??
No, worst for sure 😅
Oh shoot you changed the blue in the gauge cluster to red 🥵🥵
Yessssir! Had to match the seats bro! 🩸
Nice sound! you should get o-led lights for the rear!🙌🏼
Thanks brother! I ran them before, I like LCI’s better, more cleaner
Can you add this to your car if you deleted the secondary cats?
Yes, this replaces secondary cats. This is downpipes to muffler + required cutting
Awesome sound amazing bro 🙏🙏
Thanks bro!! Loving it 🔥
I just got this midpipe but I selected the option to pair up with an aftermarket exhaust. Before I get an aftermarket exhaust, does anyone know if it will work with my stock exhaust first?? What is the difference in the options they offer??
It does pair up with oem exhaust - I had stock comp muffler in this video
@@F80Ho awesome news. Thank you so much.
Damn she sounds good!
Thanks bro! Freaking loving it
Hey bro is this the resonated or non resonated version?
Non resonated brotha!
@@F80Hohow much louder is this than catless dp + resonated equal length bro?
Sounds like a b58 now
Lol 😂 b58 sounds better
@@F80Ho I love my b58 but I’m still chasing that M.
Adding the competition sticker is like adding a vtec sticker on lol. If it's a dark badge we already know it's zcp. Competition is not in the model name like g80s dude
Great take from this exhaust vid 😂. My car, shouldn’t bother you
Will this throw up codes ok the dash?
If you change only the midpipe, nope!
Single mid pipe..left or right!??
Lmao what?
Damn I think I’m gonna have to get the single bro! Shit sounds 🔥
It’s mental bro! Loving it 🔥
What’s cluster is that bro??
It’s an overlay from eurocustomspr!
How do you make your car play full screen?
Easy Bimmer Coding - can message them on Facebook or Instagram
I'm usually equal length but after this IDK sheesh
Right? Love both, but this is the move for sure 🔥
Sounds clean as fuck bro! Resonated or non resonated?????
Thanks bro!! This one is non resonated 🙌🏽
