X3M/X4M Equal Length Midpipe Sound Clips

Sound clips of our new EL midpipe with stock downpipes and stock rear exhaust and a few clips running stock downpipes, EL, and our valved rear exhaust.
Driving this car was an absolute BLAST, there was no drone, throttle input felt a bit quicker, and obviously produced a whole lot of eargasms

Sounds great & for the price, one can only hope it sounds nice. Was also hoping to hear this on a stock X3 M Comp exhaust / rear muffler.

Wow. What's the consensus on how this sounds vs. the single-pipe (like I have)? Volume seems similar but maybe more refined?

Lol nice everyone can see my car on the tube now

Also interested in this (since I have the single also).

I thought that might be yours. Did you get all the paint issues fixed on the front bumper & did the rear collision repair go smoothly?

The idea is that each exhaust pulse is traveling the same distance so they are coming at more regular intervals. Supposedly sounds smoother and more refined. Two smaller diameter pipes should make the sound higher pitched than one larger diameter pipe as well. So overall it should sound a little higher strung and exotic. Theoretically. Not sure it would be worth it to switch from a single to EL, but if you're going from stock to one or the other those might be things to consider. Listen to some sound clips and come to your own conclusion though.

The EL sounds much better, smoother, warmer in all all RPM rev range tones & much more sophisticated by far. My ears consider the EL mid-pipe is a completely different league.

Sounds better with stock backbox.

On the Competition model (not the base) X3 M, that may be the case. But the one in all these new AA EL mid-pipe videos also has the AA rear box. So how we would know if this is true yet... ?

I made comment based on comparing before and after ca 1:50 into video.

At approx 30s into the clip it shows a footer saying AA EL MP + stock rear section. The footage after 1:50 are with AA EL MP + AA rear box

Sounds like a Nissan 350z. So, yeah.

JaCole9 · 11-29-2023, 12:17 PM

I’ll post mine here in Spring of 2024.

I’ll be doing:
