Here is what my MadDad looks like relative to stock, deletes the secondary cats and resonator, but adds 2 tiny 'resonators' midstream to eliminate drone.

Thanks I had actually just googled it. Mine is similar except its two individual pipes with no resonator at all just straight pipe.

If the M axleback has one "inlet" then I need a Y pipe like the maddad before it will bolt up.

Pretty sure the 1M OE exhaust mid pipe ends in a single outlet - where it bolts to the back muffler. Here is my pic of the Akrapovic exhaust:

if I understood it correctly, there are 3 sections after the Downpipes.
Mid-pipe(s) containing the secondary cats
center muffler where 2 pipes go into 1
rear muffler
see the pictures of the Eisenmann exhaust here http://www.eisenmann.com.au/products/233/377/

they offer these 3 sections.

Was just looking at all this this morning. The OEM setup is two pieces from down pipes back. The Meisterschaft I had installed this morning was three pieces, Mid Pipe, Connector from Mid Pipe to Exhaust and then Exhaust. Ill try to have pictures and reviews up by the end of the week.

HP Autowerks wrote that they took the midpipe of the 135. Maybe a difference between N54/N55 version of the 135

Sorry, maybe I didnt clarify. I had an aftermarket exhaust on the 135. The midpipe was replaced and I am going to test that piece with the stock M axelback before I start looking into a complete exhaust system.

The rear section of the M seems to have minimal restriction, the mids seem to be identical to the 1 series so I expect to see gains in power and sound. My 135 was borderline too loud and I anticipate the M with my mids in place to be similar if not identical.

My 135 is N54 BTW

Three basic parts yes.

1). Cat(s)/Down pipe(s) N54, or one single cat/down pipe for the N55.
2). Mid-pipe(s) containing the secondary cats N54 (N55 no secondary cats).
3). Rear muffler.

Re: N55 midpipe

I'm intrigued by using the N55 midpipe, but wondering whether there will be any clearance problems between the M3-sourced rear subframe on our 1Ms and the resonator at the rear end of the N55 midpipe.

Thoughts?

Neil

I wouldn't think so. I had the M3 suframe bushings on my 135i and granted, didn't have an N55 midpipe, but no issues with either the stock midpipe nor the MadDad.

Is the resonator at the end of the N55 really that much bigger than the N54? The bushings didn't seem to be bigger, it was just their construction thwat was different IIRC.

I believe that it's differently configured than the N54 resonator.

And, it's just not the subframe bushings; the 1M has an entirely different subframe and diff than the 135i. As you know, it's off of the E9x M3.

We did it first back in May after picking up the 1M:

Based on pix in HP Autowerks separate thread on the Berk Technology midpipe, it would appear that there's plenty of room to accomodate the stock N55 midpipe.

Might just have to consider picking one up.

N55 mid pipe will be a direct replacement for the N54T/1M mid pipe.
