BMW M440i Exhaust Tips Install - Stainless and Carbon Fiber
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 авг 2024
- I bought these exhaust tips from Ali Express after seeing a couple of reviews stating the quality was pretty good. Well, they weren't lying. These are very solid, stainless steel pipe with good looking welds. They have all stainless hardware. The carbon fiber looks great as does the fit and finish. I'm a pretty picky guy, so that says a lot.
I ordered them, from China of course and for about $25 shipping they arrived within a week via DHL. The packaging was very good and they were in perfect condition from the manufacturer.
The install went really well and they look great! I may push them in about 1/4 inch yet, but no big deal. They did not change the amount of pops and burbles that I get and the pitch of the sound may have changed just a very small amount. They do have about 2 inches of perforated pipe internally.
I have been looking for exhaust tips for awhile because I wanted quad tips and with the offset exhaust outlet inside the M440i surrounds, I couldn't find anything that lined up correctly and kept my OCD from flaring up.
I hope you enjoy this little mod and the resulting video. This is the link to them on Ali Express: m.aliexpress.u...
Great video! Thinking of doing the same with my 2023 M240i
Thank you!
Wholesome RUclips vids are the best vids!
They look amazing Dean! Nice seeing another video from you again.
Hey! Good to hear from you Tim! Yes, summer got super busy for me! Many days spent at Road America. Had a lot of fun though. The Porsche project turned into a very short project with a good offer... It's gone. :) SO the focus is back on the BMW as time is getting short for it too. My wife wants to take it over and make it her "daily"! Time to go back on the hunt for the next one my friend!
I'm starting a new series that I think you may have asked for. I'm going to try to capture all the cool features of the M440i and try to get them into a series of short videos.
@@The_Sword_Rules Well, I guess I need to get the Z06 out to the local track at some point. I only have all seasons on it and not having any experience pushing this car to any of it's limits I will take it really easy and just have fun.
I almost made a comment that I was surprised you still had the BMW. You swap as quickly as I do.
@@The_Sword_Rules Nice. I look forward to watching. I have had quite a few gun videos lately and they always do pretty good. Wednesday and Thursday nights I have Premiers where I filmed a round table talking cars with Front Seat Driver (Jason) and Guys Talking Cars (Jared). It will be fun. Other than that I have been doing a bunch of car stuff with the Vette. Car stuff doesn't do good for me other than the Kia ones. I think I got lucky on that one with having one of the 1st 2023s out there and getting the video out really early.
@@DadsGarageDIY My only track time with the M440i was at Road Atlanta in the spring. I wanted to get the car out on Road America this fall but the track days offered didn't work out and now they have closed the track off a little early because they are replacing the track surface. It's going to be wider and so smooth. I can't wait to get out on it next spring! I might get a sneak peak sunset cruise on Halloween.
My wife and kids bought me a season pass for Road America for my birthday and I literally spent every other weekend there this summer watching races with my wife, a friend or a family member. Such a great facility to have close by. My favorite races are IMSA, Indy Car and NASCAR.
With colder mornings, my car has the all-seasons back on it. I was reminded of that the other day when I took a roundabout at 'summer tire speed' and suddenly heard a bunch of tire squeal LOL! And yes, it's time to start the hunt for my next BMW. It should be a fairly new model if not brand new. It has to be a coupe as I just can't do four doors styling. So it'll probably be either an M240i XDrive (new) or the M540i XDrive (used due to $$$). This will take a while!
Great video. I had just ordered my quads for the stock exhaust and I was concerned about the angle cut on the OEM exhaust outlets, but now I see it just slips right over that. Thanks
Welcome!
Bro big thanks to you! I'm not handy at all and did mine perfectly in 40 minutes.
You are welcome! Glad to help.
Great upgrade
They look great👌👌 . Thanks for sharing
Thank you!
Make more of these videos please
Thank you! I'm going to be installing and reviewing the Dinan turbo inlet, hopefully soon.
Great video you just earned a sub which one do I select on ali express?
Thank you! When you click on the link, it shows the tips and says G23 model. I'm pretty sure they are all the same, G22, G23, G24. Scroll down a bit and you'll see different styles. I chose the picture for the Carbon Fiber C model and that shows that it fits G22, G23 M440i. I like the look of the stainless surrounded by the carbon fiber.
They all have the same shape inlet, oval, just different metals. I am still impressed with their quality! They stay put and clean up easily.
Mine have the ///M stamping showing and there was a little note in the box asking to not show that on pictures or video on social media to keep them out of trouble :)
When I compare these to the BMW accessory item (at 4x the cost), they look identical. I have a feeling that this is the same Chinese company that is making them for BMW and in typical fashion, they are selling these like... black market?
I can almost guarantee that you will like them. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Hi!
Thanks for the vid, it will help me with installing my exhaust ends on my M440i (2024 with curved display really is a little palace).
I was just wondering whether the tight fit with the rear bumper cutouts has become an issue in the long run? Does the outside of the ends keep cool no matter what?
Good to know how to approach when I do the installation, if I don’t feel any objection from your answer that is.
Greetings from Sweden!
I don't believe it's possible to be a problem, just based on science. The only contact between the tips and the exhaust pipe is the 3 clamping bolts. There is an air gap because the tips are larger in diameter than the exhaust pipe, hence literally no heat transfer right?
Thanks for this. Gonna do it on my g42
Sounds amazing! Is it just MPE and new tips? No DP or tune?
Thank you Laurent! Starting from the front - Dinan CAI (video here - ruclips.net/video/LdNSSRpCDnc/видео.html) Carbahn Stage 1 tune (video here - ruclips.net/video/Kq7_xqci8XM/видео.html ) MPE (video here - ruclips.net/video/znsbL0DNwSo/видео.html ) and Tips.
The tune doesn't really change the exhaust sound as it just allows the twin turbo to spin up faster, earlier. The exhaust does allow for a bit of additional burbles and pops. I'm very impressed with the performance of this car and the way it sounds. As you can see from my video timeline, I have switched cars often. But this BMW is the best I've owned and it's not going anywhere for a while!
Super helpful thank you!!
Welcome!
Great video. I'm thinking to install this on my upcoming G42. Do the quad tips post any danger of melting the surrounding bumper plastic?
Thank you for the comment - No danger at all. They do not get that hot, you can touch the exhaust tips when the car is good and warmed up. Congrats on the G42! Beautiful car.
Looks good. Did you lower the exhaust from the hanger to get the top bolt/nut?
Thanks Justin. No need to lower the exhaust. There is enough room above the tailpipe, just enough room, to get the allen wrench into the set screw and 13mm wrench on to the lock nut. Just remember your locktite before you get to that point! :)
What size wheel spacers do you have on with these wheels
I had 15mm all around this square setup.
Great video my quad tips arrived this week and glad I watched your video as I would have tried to torque leaving the locking nuts on the inside !! Also was thinking of using M8 screws but will stick with the ones they came with as you did and use allen wrench with Loctite.
Thanks Major Tom! I'm kind of OCD with exhaust tips placement. They have to be just right and symmetrical to each other. So I think the best advise that I gave in the video is placing the spacers above the tips to hold them in place while tightening down the set screws. Getting them to sit evenly was driving me bonkers!
@@The_Sword_Rules drive.google.com/file/d/17ELN2CRnB_nk8_FKsJCh8vCap4lBg-Fv/view?usp=sharing. Job done thanks or help!
What tool did you use to remove those brackets surrounding the exhaust pipe?
It’s either T15 or T20 Torx bit. Can’t remember which.
Great video! Do the tips fit on an 840i coupe exhaust? And do the tips damage the original exhaust when tightened on?!
These tips are for the G22 and G23. With modification, they may fit but I would not bet on it. The bolts that hold these in place leave a mark on the exhaust pipes but it is under the car, not visible at all and likely hard to see even when laying on the ground under the car.
Tkanks for the video.
I’m gonna order mine.
Just a quick question: ¿Are these 63mm?
The link to these are in the video comments below the video.
They are made for the G series. With adjustable clamping. You don’t need to know the diameter of your stock exhaust.
There is no exact fit or interference fit. The shape of the tips is similar to the shape of the exhaust outlet. Please watch the video again and note how the exhaust tips slip over the exhaust outlet and are clamped in place with bolts and nuts that lock them tight.
no these are at least 70, i have 76 for my g22, id say 76 is generally the option as they are adjudtahle
aliexpress also sells the clamp on style of these exhaust tips, would you recommend the clamp on style or bolts?
The only experience I have with these is the style that I installed. Mine have not moved even a bit so I recommend the style I have. That said, I’m sure the clamp style hold well too but the quality of the product may be different too.
How the hell did you get your hand up to tighten down the top screw & nut?
There is enough room above the tailpipe to get the allen wrench into the set screw and 13mm wrench on to the lock nut. No need to fit your hand above the pipe. Just remember your locktite before you get to that point!
How many inches is the inlet? Thank you very much. Great video! ❤❤❤
I'm not sure what to tell you. If you're using the provided link to order these, I don't think it matters. The exhaust tips were larger in the I.D. than the MPE exhaust outlets by about 1/4" all the way around. My MPE exhaust outlets were the same size as my stock exhaust outlets, so no matter what you have on your M440i, they should fit. They clamped on with 4 bolts that were tightened down on the pipe and jam nuts held them in place. They are not an interference fit.
how do you tighten the top screw? do you go in from the side? not much clearance in between the top to get in there
I had plenty of room to put the short end of the hex wrench in and tighten the top nut down with a wrench. A little tight but ok.
Looking at these for my M340i. How’d are the holding up overtime?
Does the sound change at all with these tips?
Sorry if I missed it but do you think these would fit the G42?
Does anyone know the specs of those set screws and locking nut?
Does this give a exhaust noise change ?
Thank you for the comment - The sound is more concentrated when I am standing behind the car and it's idling. As the driver, I hear very little change to the exhaust note. If anything maybe a bit louder when I'm driving it. I hope that helps!
I love the sound of the MPE, so I was glad to hear that there was not a significant change.
How much did they cost, struggling to find ones
You’ve had them on for several months now. Have you noticed any deterioration in the tips, paint coming off or other esthetic issues? Any adverse effects on your diffuser due to heat?
No change in the tips, they are stainless and carbon fiber with stainless hardware. I've seen the BMW OEM accessory tips and these look like they are from the same company that makes them for BMW, identical. I love these tips and they are built well. Again, I'm a picky guy, a real "discerning consumer". Only high quality parts go on my cars. Admittedly, I was skeptical ordering from Ali Express, but others in my group had them and were also impressed.
No heat issues. The exhaust tips don't get hot. They are held in place with bolts contacting the original pipe and there is an air gap between the tips and exhaust outlet.
Thanks for the comment! Motor on...
@@The_Sword_Rules What was the full name of the vendor on Aliexpress ?
@@m3forty780 I ordered these in September of 2022, right? I no longer have the receipt, packaging or instruction sheet. But I've provided the link in the description if you'd like to do your own sleuthing. And bonus! They are on sale right now.
I have to ask, why do you want to know "the full name of the vendor"?
@@The_Sword_Rules I've seen at least 2x aliexpress sellers selling MPE exhaust tips. Wanted to know which one you went with.
@@m3forty780 OK, well the link that I have in the description goes to the Ali Express seller that I used... The link doesn't give a choice of sellers.
How did you source the exhaust tips? I have the M performance exhaust but have not been able to source the carbon tips?
Joel - My bad - I did not mention that I put the link in the comments below the video.
Ali express, few versions to choose from.
Joel - Please read the description for the video - I have provided A LINK to the tips that I bought. Mine are IDENTICAL to the BMW tips. If they are a knock off, then they are so good that I can't tell. I've seen the OEM tips in person too. The tips that I bought even have the ///M stamping in them. Top quality.
Am i right in saying you havent actually done up the top one at all from when you fitted it? You did the bottom one, how about the sides?
If you are talking about the bolts securing the tips, I DID tighten the top bolt along with ALL the other bolts on the sides and bottom. The allen wrench does fit in on top of the exhaust pipe to tighten it.
I only showed the tightening technique on the bottom bolt because it was clear viewing it with the camera and to avoid boredom for the viewers of this video of watching me tighten all 4 of them.
question sir, where’d u get the quad tips? I want them for my 340i
I have to learn to put more instructions in my videos! :) The link to the tips that I purchased for my M440i are in the description for the video.
I'm not sure how I can help you sir - There are many variables to buying car parts and I don't have a 340i. You could try searching through the website in the link that I provided to see if they have anything for your particular car.
How do you screw those exhaust tips on? Do you put the bolt on the other side then what?
It's all explained in the video. You'll have to watch and listen...
@@The_Sword_Rulesthanks… you explained it well. I was inpatient and skipped through the vid at first.. that’s my fault. And these stay secure this way? Vs welding?
Solid clamp system. Drive it like you stole it… 😊
Would this work on an m330i?
M340i*
@@farhanpatel7241 The link I provided was for tips for the G22, G23, and G26. You're car would require different tips and may not be the same as these. Sorry I can't help more.
how are these holding up quality wise? i just received mine and will do install over the weekend!
Hello - I sold my BMW about 4 months ago but they held up great as long as I had the car and cleaned up easy. Being stainless and carbon fiber, they should last as long as the car.
I have the identical car. Where did you get the tips? And do I have to change anything or modify anything?
Alot of the forum guys use ali express. I believe the M performance exhaust and stock exhaust use different tips due to the shape of the pipe being slightly different.
Hello Brian - The link is in the description too, but here it is: m.aliexpress.us/item/3256804322573790.html?srcSns=sns_Copy&spreadType=socialShare&bizType=ProductDetail&social_params=20646377196&aff_fcid=ff5efea1132b4f5ea35f4408fca11670-1663793539780-02094-_mO6UoMk&tt=MG&fbclid=IwAR27cmwkf0Ucj8ogFNy-UA6nUZgQMU2Ow6LtYJ2cTAWxVaUP1WQrzlSNQDY&aff_fsk=_mO6UoMk&aff_platform=default&sk=_mO6UoMk&aff_trace_key=ff5efea1132b4f5ea35f4408fca11670-1663793539780-02094-_mO6UoMk&shareId=20646377196&businessType=ProductDetail&platform=AE&terminal_id=5330e6c6e749455f9b231cfff51662e2&afSmartRedirect=y&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa4itemAdapt&_randl_shipto=US
@@CosmicAminos Yes sir - I heard that too, after I ordered. I don't have my stock exhaust any more to verify this, but I knew my MPE had oval outlets and the picture of the tips that I wanted were oval inlets. So I pulled the trigger! Some of the pictures in the link appear to be round inlets.
@@The_Sword_Rules my stock m440 has round.
@@CosmicAminos Great info for the viewers here - Thank you!
Would you say the tips poked out the rear too much? Did you have the option to push them in a bit further? Or was this the furthest in they went? Thanks
Totally adjustable!
At first I thought they had too much poke, but it was only from one angle. As I moved around the back of the car, walking past it many times, I decided that I like them as is.
@@The_Sword_Rules When you ordered these tips, was there a size difference for stock exhaust vs your MPE exhaust? Is the inlet size the same for both exhaust set ups? Trying to buy myself a pair and i have the 2020 MPE on my m340i
@@sallifrolix There is no exact fit or interference fit. The shape of the tips is similar to the shape of the exhaust outlet for either the stock exhaust or the MPE. Please check the video again and note how the exhaust tips slip over the exhaust outlet and are clamped in place with bolts and nuts that lock them tight. They are very adjustable. I also has the MPE exhaust on when I installed these.
Looks very cool!
I have the same car here in Germany but I think mine is a little bit more quiet.
Do you also have OPF in the US?
OPF is a filter which makes the cars less poluting and therefor more quiet. Unfortunately its mandatory in Germany since 2019 I think.
Thanks for the comment!
No OPF here, thankfully. And none of those communist environmental car inspections here in Wisconsin either.
My car is louder than it was stock because of the M Performance Exhaust I added. Not a lot louder, just enough louder. And my Carbahn tune gives it just a bit more burbles and pops.
I enjoy the heck out of my car. I never keep a car longer than one year as it's my hobby. I've had this one 14 months and have no plan whatsoever to move this car along. It's a keeper.
stock exhaust?
No sir, MPE. Regardless, the outlets for the MPE are exactly the same as the stock exhaust.
do you think it sounds the same or ? 👍
@@LuumiB Like I mentioned in the video, the sound is more "channeled", maybe a bit more intense going through the tips. An improvement in sound based on my opinion.
What screwdriver did you use to unscrew them? Thx
It's a small Torx bit to remove the exhaust surrounds. Not sure what size anymore.
How did you get to that top screw to tighten it down?
Plenty of room up above the exhaust tip, although at first glance it doesn't look like it. It's a Hexagon headless screw, so lay on your back, and use the short end of the Allen wrench on that top screw to hold it while you tighten the jam nut. You can actually turn that screw with your fingers to the depth that you need if you do that screw first.
Give it a go and report back on how the install went for you! Have a great day.
I am looking to purchase these. What is the diameter of the Tips?
I don't know. In the link that I provided, I ordered them for my car, the G22. I had no need to know what the tip diameter is. And if you have a G22, you can use the same link to order them.
Hey mate, any chance you can send me a link to where you ordered the tips. I have a site I want to order from but need to know if I need the 210mm or 215mm ones for my car.
The link to these are in the video comments below the video.
They are made for the G series. With adjustable clamping. You don’t need to know the diameter of your stock exhaust.
@@The_Sword_Rules Thanks mate, worked it out and ordered some. Thanks
Where u get the exhaust tip that fits the stock exhaust?
Gavin - Please see the video description above to answer your question.
My ex girlfriend said you are a very nice man
What is her first name? Now you have me wondering who this is from my past...
what is inlet size, i have 22 m440 with mpe exhaust
I'm confused BlakeRothman - Why do you need to know the inlet size for your car?
@@The_Sword_Rulesthe diameter of stock exhaust and MPE are different. I bought these back in 2021 and they didn’t fit on my car. The inlet was too small. Im skeptical and buying new ones
@@hollowsnags5323 not sure what to tell you. My exhaust tips were larger in the I.D. than the MPE exhaust outlets by about 1/4" all the way around. They clamped on with 4 bolts that were tightened down on the pipe and jam nuts held them in place.
This is the first time I've heard of the exhaust outlets being a different size. Maybe they sent you the wrong tips? Anyway good luck, and the reason I'm describing in the past tense is because I just sold my BMW M440i and have moved on to a new (to me) car that I will have in an upcoming video.
The BMW was a phenomenal car and I held onto it for a lot longer than I normally keep my cars around. Another BMW is in my future for sure. An E46 M3 is on my bucket list, but I first had to check something else off of that list
🙂
Did they ask for the specific diameter of your exhaust pipes before ordering the tips for an exact fit? Thanks
There is no exact fit or interference fit. The shape of the tips is similar to the shape of the exhaust outlet. Please watch the video again and note how the exhaust tips slip over the exhaust outlet and are clamped in place with bolts and nuts that lock them tight.
