Do you feel any low end loss due to single midpipe? Also, how do you like that connecting clamp? I've installed couple AA midpipe on G8x M3/M4 with that clamp, it leaks. Tighten it all the way and still leaks, so I have to change it to Vibrant clamp.

I assume you are referring to the ball head style connections. They seem nice in theory and I haven't noticed any leaks upon the first start up. I think they need to be positioned almost perfectly to clamp down all the way. I'll give it a few more heat cycles and recheck them for leaks. I appreciate the heads up!

But, I was talking about the connecting clamp from rear end of the midpipe to the muffler. I guess with a tune, you won't notice that low end loss.

Ahh I see, I'll check those as well but on the first start up I didn't have any leaks. A few heat cycles could certainly present them so I'll report back

How's the alcantara on the steering wheel holding up? I wish they had an option that was CF (as it should come from the factory with the rest of the CF trim) and either black leather or something else durable not alcantara.

It looks new still. It's an area that is hardly ever touched so I wouldn't expect it to get nasty like a full steering wheel would. Maybe here and there the side of your hand hits it but you aren't grasping it with a full palm.

My M8 is going to have full dash alcantara which is not what I'd prefer, but it's what comes with the black/midrand combo I'm getting. It's also a non-touch area so hopefully it holds up well.

So I just realized I never shared my BC Forged wheel setup...
I'm currently rocking 21" BC Forged RZ01. They are finished in Brushed Dark Black and are perfectly spec'd for the F97. They are a touch on the aggressive side but with a little natural camber I'm rub free and 95% of road conditions. This setup is perfect for stock height and lowering springs/coilovers. Fronts: - 21x9.5 et17 with 265/40/21 Michelin PS4S Rears: - 21x11 et35 with 295/35/21 Michelin PS4S

I think I prefer the stock wheels, just my preference. Killer ride though!
