Installed today, so far just pics.. video to come.. The exhaust noise is much deeper than stock, along with a burble.

Might be a nice alternative to the MadDad pipes- what is the cost of this mid-pipe?

A lot, they're $1,257.39 usd, plus the necessary welding of a flange on for the oem donut gasket.

They are bolt on, welding is optional. I didn't do it and seems ok. I choose it because I wanted no cats and no resonators. Plus Maddads and Berks seem nearly impossible to buy..

this was right after installation. Revs around 1500-2000 only..

YIKES! $1,200+ buckO's... Why wouldn't you just buy some factory N55 mids(~$400) and have a muffler shop replace the resonator on the N55 mids. Or just use the N55 mids as is. ?

River Rat · 07-07-2012, 05:39 AM

Dack, it's not that much..

$595 Euro.. Like $730usd.. Same as Maddad and Berks..

Did you take the sticker off the pipes after install? They might be hard to remove if left on!

///M1 · 07-08-2012, 01:25 PM

So no droning? I worked with rich/MadDad when they initially developed the mids (for the 135i), and the reason they added the small 'resonators' was because they found straight pipes introduced drone.

Nice looking, but still pricey as an alternative.

I had an exhaust shop custom make me straight mids identical to those for my 135i vert..$450AUS..

Connected to OEM DP's and OEM rear muffler and had no drone..Awesome bark at WOT..

I tried to remove the stickers, its a Pain in the a@@... so I left them on, and eventually the heat of the pipes will force them off..

I had no problems getting Berk mid pipes, and getting stuff from Rich@Maddad isn't an issue either, if they aren't in stock a few weeks wait and you'll get them. The thing to remember with Maddad is you pretty much need to buy direct.
