Arrow AWE Tuning: the BMW F3x 328i/428i Exhaust Suite

Many of you have seen that we have entered BMW. What you may not have seen - unless you’ve been to our website - is more specific information about the products we have brought to the table. So here is a healthy serving of what the AWE Tuning F3x 328i/428i Exhaust Suite is all about.

AWE Tuning has tapped over two decades of experience in performance engineering to produce the ultimate exhaust for the The Ultimate Driving Machine®.

Hundreds of hours of prototyping, engineering, research, testing, and daily usage evaluation has culminated in the AWE Tuning BMW F30 328i/428i Exhaust Suite:
  • Featuring 180 Technology™
  • Full 3” CNC mandrel bent system
  • Max gains of 13hp and 13ft-lbs of torque at the crank
  • Available as single side (dual tip), or unique quad tip option
  • Fitments for N20 and N26 Motors
  • Dual walled AWE Tuning branded tips, available as diamond black or chrome silver
  • Dyno-developed, street proven on the AWE Tuning in-house 328i
  • Crafted from T304 Stainless Steel
  • Engineered, designed and manufactured in-house at AWE Tuning

  • Featuring the AWE Tuning Lifetime Exhaust Warranty

The Options

The AWE Tuning BMW F30 328i Exhaust Suite is available as follows. Some fitments depend upon N20 versus N26 motor type, so be sure to check our simple N20 vs N26 guide to verify motor type.
  • The single side (two tips) axle back F3x 328i/428i Touring Edition Exhaust, featuring 180 Technology™
  • The quad outlet (four tips) axle back F3x 328i/428i Touring Edition Exhaust, featuring 180 Technology™

  • The Performance Mid Pipe, independently

All F3x 328i/428i systems are outfitted with 80mm Chrome Silver or Diamond Black, double walled AWE Tuning tips.

Important fitment notes:
All products are confirmed to fit both RWD and X Drive vehicles. Quad option systems are not yet confirmed to fit M Performance rear bumpers.

About the system

The AWE Tuning Touring Edition Exhaust

The AWE Tuning Touring Edition Exhaust is an axle back system that leverages AWE Tuning’s proprietary sound cancellation solution, 180 Technology™, to produce the perfect exhaust note, drone free. If you’re unfamiliar with 180 Technology™, learn more through this brief 180 Technology™ video.

The AWE Tuning Performance Mid Pipe

The AWE Tuning Performance Mid Pipe is a key component in obtaining the perfect signature aggressive yet sophisticated note from the exhaust. This resonated piece removes the factory secondary cat (on N26 Motors) and replaces it with straight through 3” T304 stainless steel tubing.

Sound Perfection: AWE Tuning 180 Technology™

Perfect tone comes compliments of AWE Tuning 180 Technology™.

As exhaust gases exit the 328i/428i engine and flow into an AWE Tuning 180 Technology™ equipped resonator, they pass through strategically located ports, and into reflection chambers. Sound waves, carried by these exhaust gasses, bounce off the walls of the reflection chambers. By controlling the size and location of the ports and the chambers, we also control when the sound waves exit the chambers. The specific timing of when the reflected sound waves rejoin the main exhaust flow creates a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree out-of-phase sound wave that cancels out problematic frequencies. More on AWE Tuning 180 Technology in the tab above.

The systems are available as I type, either online or through AWE Tuning’s global network of incredible dealers and installation centers, right here (put in your zip, find your local AWE Tuning dealer).

Thanks for reading!

I don't know much about cars, but right now I have an m-performance exhaust with a ER catless downpipe for my f30 328 n26. 1)Would I be able to purchase just the midpipe and have that installed? 2) If I decided to buy the exhaust + midpipe with the quad outlet option, would I need to buy a 335 diffuser to have it fit? and can I keep the downpipe? Really interested in this. Thanks!

A beautiful sounding exhaust. Do u happen to have a sound clip with aftermarket DP? I have a DP and MPE but this is making me rethink in a big way.

Edit: on order!

Mike,

Are there any instructions on using your cutting template? I'm looking for pictures and advice on actual cutting method.
