The full system (Performance Mid Pipe + Axle-back) is straight bolt-on.

The axle-back alone (i.e. re-using the factor mid pipe) would require a quick cut at the factory cut point (the dimple).

I ordered mine this morning with mid pipe

Do you guys have these prefabbed or do you fab and then send?

I can't wait to get it and have it installed in a few weeks!

I don't, unfortunately.

A Touring Edition Axle-back featuring 180 Technology® goes a long way, regardless if it's a 28i/30i sedan, coupe, or sport wagon.

I'll see what I can do next week. I don't have a GoPro or professional camera but I'll get something together...

madmortar · 10-13-2017, 06:28 AM

Cool, some cell phone shots of the back at different angles would be interesting. curious how it lines up with bumper. Did you get the middle pipe too? Any difference in performance?

I did get the Mid Pipe and I would suggest it as it dampens the sound through the cabin. As far as performance. I don't think will be any noticeable gains without a down pipe upgrade and or cat delete. My butt dyno tells me different but only a true Dyno would be the ultimate test. I plan on Dyno'n my car soon.

PSA: we have a few AWE 328/428i Touring Edition Exhausts featuring 180 Technology® fresh from production. Bypass lead times and get it quick, and save a bit by going through a dealer.

I approve of this exhaust! I’m very happy!

Question about the quad exhaust for the 328i. Considering the stock only has the dual pipes on one side, how does the flapper valves work? Are they always open then?

Josh/AWE · 11-13-2017, 07:10 AM

Our configurations -- whether it be dual outlet or quad outlet -- deletes the valve as it wasn't needed. The deployment of our 180 Technology® did the trick for defeating drone while achieving our signature soundtrack.

Ah ok! Would this cause any errors to pop up? I mean when the car starts up it usually closes the flap to warm up first, no?

The valve stays in place, and is mounted to a bracket on the d-side tip outlet. It will still operate, but it won't be operating anything so to speak. No error will pop up as the ECU will see the valve is still there and doing its thing.
