How are you getting on with your full system from Alibaba, is it all still working as well as the day it went on, you got a bargain there.
I’m not sure where mine was manufactured but like you, the quality is there, all stainless and faultless welds, so it’s amazing value. OR is it what we should be paying rather than a 70% markup because it comes from a “design” name

Does alibaba have an x3m equal length exhaust?

Yea, you seem to be right.

Incorrect, us market and uk market have different models for LCI.

See webpage labelling/headers to help understand👍🏽

Also see Customers vehicle pictures before jumping to conclusions as he has posted a picture of his set up gents 😆.

Yes haha no issues at all. Literally perfect especially the value I got out of it. I know the company who made this exhaust. But at the end if you’re happy that’s all it matters. Definitely sounds wicked.

Yep I had to ask Fas if he was manufacturing me the correct system. The UK (and Euro systems I believe) split the pipes whereas the US system run the pipes side by side. AND, the model refresh UK G01 to LCI use different routes also.
So had I pushed the button with the AA R&D purchase of the equal length midpipe, I would have ended up with a very expensive and totally useless piece of metal.

With this in mind guys, anyone in the UK / Europe need to be careful you order the right mide-pipe. I advise you contact Fas @ FJ MotorWerkes, very Knowledgeable.
Anyone in the States looking for an equal length mid-pipe, you have the choice of a bargain (or maybe correctly priced unit depending on your point of view) from FJ MotorWerkes or the AA version if you have deep pockets

And no I dont have shares in FJ MotorWerkes and neither do I know Fas other than he supplied and installed my mid-pipe. No one from the AA mid-pipe thread picked up on the difference between the pipes and warned me off

Further, the bolts are chrome not painted black
From what ive seen of FJ MotorWerkes products, its all quality

Thank you for taking the pictures down. The shorter versions you posted recently will fit more flush for sure. Definitely a setup I would of considered if it was available when I was modifying.

How so? Would that not require downpipes that are not sitting next to each other? This mid pipe doesn’t show how it connects to standard downpipe layout on the f97/98.

If you look at the under-body pic posted on pg1 you can see that it is in fact a totally different setup in the UK. It looks like the left downpipe runs horizontal under the trans before connecting to the midpipe. Not sure if that is something to do with the OPF system they have their to quiet the cars down?

BUt yes, very different than the NA-spec setup

I see that the MP is totally different, but don't see different DPs available. Yet seller has a very different layout for sale for the same LCI cars

[e30 4 life!]

nvm...I see now and it looks like there is a front piece of the MP that I wasn't seeing in other photos. I gues they doe have different DPs for LCI cars in the UK
