Hey guys I’m in Australia. Just took delivery of my Jun 2020 made M2 competition. Ordered the Remus gpf back through a local mechanic, but they had trouble putting it on because the angle of the pipe does not align properly. The mechanic reckon BMW has used a different mounting bracket on the latest production models and changed the angle of the piping a little bit. He organized a welder to cut the pipe and weld it back at slightly different angle, just wondering if that is the best option? Has anyone else had or heard of this issue?
My car didn’t have a gpf but according to my mechanic, the guy from Remus Australia doesn’t seem to know that, he said only some earlier production cars do not have gpf. But anyway, on the Remus Australia site it is not mentioned at all that those exhaust will fit the models with gpf only. So I’m not sure if these exhaust were never suppose to fit my car, or did BMW really change the piping a little bit. Last edited by youngm2c; 09-25-2020 at 03:52 AM.. Reason: Add content |

Does adding mid pipe cause check engine light to come on if not tuned? Last edited by youngm2c; 09-25-2020 at 02:28 PM.. |

Only EU cars have OPF filters. Are you installing the remus kit with resonator delete pipes? I have the remus race axelback without resonator delete pipes and it fits perfectly on my car with secondary cats. If you are using the resonator delete pipe, then try installing axelback only by clamping back the stock resonator + pipes you've cut off. |

The mechanic is taking the car to an exhaust shop to potentially get some welding done on the stock pipes so it fits the Remus. I guess I’ll see how that turns out. I guess worse case scenario if it doesn’t turn out good I can still opt for a AA mid pipe to just replace that part of the stock pipe. |

Currently deciding between the Fi and Active Auto catback exhausts. Haven't been able to hear either in person but digging them both. Fi seems to sound slightly better and definitely looks better than AA, but is also around $1k more. Hoping to get people who have personal experiences with both that may be able to speak to it. I know sound is subjective but I'll settle for anything at this point lol! Thanks!

Factory M Performance exhaust with AA EL mid pipe (non-res). Couldn't be happier so far!

Thanks. I honestly couldn't be happier. It doesn't sound amazing at cold start and maybe a little tinny if you rev it but that goes away shortly after.. No drone on the highway, no added vibrations or noises it actually feels oem but louder like I wanted. Windows up 3k rpm efficient mode and ASD disabled sounds nice and quiet for when you want it.
I'd definitely recommend the EL mid pipe to anyone with an s55 to get that smoother n55 type sound. Since you have no cats be sure to go with the resonated version. Actually they recommend resonated for me since they don't know much about using their mid pipe with the MPE but luckily I found one video and knew non res was the right choice and I'm glad I did it! |

Thanks for the info @M2EVO! Got my mid pipe installed yesterday and couldn’t be happier.
Setup is catless DPs, resonated EL and MPE backbox. It’s loud, there are no 2 ways about it but it’s a fantastic tone and sound. The only negatives are an extremely loud (obnoxious) ‘bark’ on start-up and it is a bit tinny for the first 30-60 seconds but after that I don’t get any drone and only the faintest hint of rasp around 2.5k RPM. Between Efficient and Sport+ it's a real Jekyll-Hyde experience! Here are some short clips for those interested. Outside acceleration: Quick hard acceleration: Drawing out the acceleration: Tunnel/Overpass: Start-up: |

I was really nervous about the end result since I couldn’t find anyone with this exact setup so didn’t know what to expect. I watched your videos quite a few times cause it was basically the only one with EL and MPE on the M2C But I am absolutely blown away by the end result. The EL from 4-7.5K RPM is incredible and just makes you want to keep it at high revs. It reminds me a bit of the tone from the R35 GTR in person (not as much on video though). |

Heard atleast one of the members here went from active autowerke EL midpipes to full akra system. Would like to hear some pros and cons between the two if they don't mind !
