The Story
Is every equal length midpipe the same? This matte white BMW G81 M3 Competition Touring shows that the answer is no. The car arrived at our workshop in Woerden with a no-brand equal length already fitted, and we replaced it with the DCE Parts High Flow Equal Length X-Pipe Midpipe in stainless steel, resonated version. The accompanying video gives a direct before and after sound comparison, so you can hear the difference for yourself.
The reason for the swap was a familiar complaint. The previous BMW G81 M3 equal length midpipe sounded good at high revs, but between roughly 2,000 and 4,000 RPM it turned harsh and metallic. To understand why, you need to look at the S58 engine used in the G80 and G81 M3 and the G82 and G83 M4. From the factory, the two turbochargers feed pipes of unequal length. An equal length midpipe corrects this by matching the pipe lengths so the exhaust pulses arrive and merge at nearly the same moment, which gives a smoother, more harmonious inline-six sound. Yet the position of the X-pipe, the placement of the resonators and the overall design still shape the final character, which is why two equal length setups can sound completely different.
Our S58 OPF delete equal length midpipe was developed to sound throaty rather than raspy, while keeping a sharp high-pitched note when you go to full throttle. With the DCE Parts midpipe fitted, this G81 M3 Touring stays drone-free in Comfort mode with the valves closed, becomes properly aggressive in Sport and Sport+ with the valves open, and has far less of that metallic rasp low in the rev range. Our aim is for it to be one of the best-sounding OPF delete equal length options you can buy, and we strive for 100% customer satisfaction.
This particular car also runs catless downpipes, an MST intake and a tune of approximately 790 hp, so the sound clips in the video are definitely not for the faint-hearted.
The DCE Parts S58 equal length midpipe is available in both a resonated and a non-resonated version. Prefer something a little quieter? We also offer larger muffler options that work well together with this equal length setup. Every DCE Parts exhaust component is developed in-house and continuously refined based on real customer feedback, with one aim: a throaty, refined exhaust sound without the rasp that many cheaper equal length midpipes suffer from.
The midpipe on this BMW G81 M3 Competition Touring was installed by our own team at the PSR Parts workshop in Woerden. Want the same sound for your G80, G81, G82 or G83? Order the DCE Parts equal length X-pipe midpipe online or contact PSR Parts to book your installation.
