You know, when I first heard that the BMW community thought it was impossible to create an equal length midpipe for the F8X M platform, I had my doubts too. But then I found out about Active Autowerke and their Signature Equal Length midpipe. They really took it upon themselves to tackle this challenge head-on. After what seemed like endless research and testing, they came through with something pretty special. This isn’t just another midpipe; it’s a piece of engineering that’s been patented in both the US and EU/UK, which is no small feat in the world of performance parts.
What’s cool about this midpipe is how it manages to balance out the exhaust flow without needing to go full-on with a complete exhaust system. They’ve cleverly designed it to use the space after the differential, which helps equalize the lengths of the pipes—something that can really make a difference in performance and sound. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t love that deep, throaty growl that a well-tuned BMW can deliver?
Active Autowerke has also extended their innovation to the G8X M platform, so they’re not just resting on their laurels. It’s clear they’re passionate about pushing the envelope, even if it means defending their patents against a bunch of copycats who are all too happy to cut corners by sourcing from places that don’t respect original designs.
For those of you with a BMW 228, 328, or 428 from 2012 and onward, this midpipe is a solid upgrade. Specifically, if you’ve got a 228i from 2014 to 2016 or 2020 to 2024, or a 428i from 2013 to 2016, you’ll definitely want to check this out. It’s designed to fit like a glove and really enhance your ride's performance.
So, if you’re looking to add a bit of character and performance to your BMW, this midpipe could be just what you need. It’s not just about making noise; it’s about making your driving experience that much better. Active Autowerke really thanks their customers for the support, allowing them to keep innovating for those of us who truly appreciate what BMW stands for.
