AWE Tuning 335i/340i/435i Exhaust Build Times Down to 2 Weeks

Ecks · 07-24-2016, 03:12 PM

I couldn't be happier with my AWE+MID on my 340. Sounds excellent. Time to make a downpipe, AWE.

Hi, i just ordered my 2016 340xi yesterday. Its fully loaded near 60k MSRP, with the M performance exhaust. Im planning to get the ER Catless DP, would it justify for me to get the AWE Mid pipe as well? Whats the difference from stock mid pipe and AWE Mid pipe? Would it be alot louder with the awe mid pipe as well?

Cheers

PS: Anyone got any sound clips? with stock vs awe mid pipe?

Ordered the catback last week! Super excited

I will keep you guys updated on progress / installation.

Special thanks to Josh, from AWE, for being thorough, helpful and answering a bunch of my questions!
Also thanks to Matt, from ACM, for helping me order parts and professionally guiding me through the process.

Thanks!
Mike

Pleasure was all mine, Mike! You're going to love it.

Hit me if you have any other questions. Same for anyone else! I'm here.

is the midpipe required? Pros of it? Was happy with the price, but not so much after adding the midpipe

The Performance Mid Pipe is not required. It makes the system more aggressive by replacing the factory resonated section with a 3" non-resonated section. You can always add the mid pipe later if you wanted.

After you climb underneath and check out the oval piping + kink/fold you'll want to get that mid-pipe, team.

It's finally stopped raining and I have a gopro in my hands. I'll get it fixed to the 340 and do a coldstart, rev, and general rowing through gears soon.

Does the 102mm tip fit the stock m performance rear diffuser? I suppose I could go measure it too. haha

izzynyc · 08-12-2016, 08:21 AM

Can you install just the midpipe? Any performance and sound gains with just the mid pipe?

I don't think you'd want to - I'd go the other way around or get both.

The resonator the midpipe replaces is what keeps the car relatively quiet during cold starts. And the AWE exhaust after the midpipe is what prevents drone and (I'm assuming) adds tone.

So it seems like having the midpipe only would give you the short end of the stick. Not that I've tried it

Josh/AWE · 08-12-2016, 09:10 AM

The mid pipe is only applicable to our axleback configuration. The mid pipe + exhaust is very, very satisfying, especially if you're looking for all-out aggression. The exhaust by itself if great, as well, and may be enough to cure your urge for more tone while retaining the stock mid section. You can always add the mid pipe later, if you wanted, but installing both at once would retain your stock system as whole as you won't have to cut at the dimple to install the axleback.

Hey Josh, I have a 2015 335xi with the m-sport package. Can you PM me the price for the complete exhaust system. And is it possible to pick up and have it installed at your shop?

Thanks!

Mine's been delivered last week!
I'm going to ACM in NJ tomorrow to install it! Super excited about it.

Been waiting a long time, or what it seems to feel like a long time! The anticipation kills haha.

No worries. So, how long did you end up waiting for yours after you ordered?
