Overview: Full installation tutorial on how to install the VRSF High Flow Midpipe on my BMW M4. This exhaust install is rather easy, but found that nobody had documented the process. Hopefully this video helps anyone interested in this exhaust and installing themselves. This exhaust fits both the F82 M4 and also the F80 M3.
Well this video started off with a literally bang LOL! Smashed my face with a socket wrench and had to leave the clip in as it was hilarious and my reaction was rather odd. Let me know what you think in the comments below!

MAX KEELEY lol I was so excited about the exhaust that I had to keep going. No time for pain!!

This is a fantastic video on how you do everything. I really appreciate this video! Thank you again!

@Awesomoto 4 года назад

Nicholas Marshall No problem! My intent was to capture the details to help others install this mid pipe. It was a big improvement in my exhaust sound and couldn’t have been more happy with the results. Let me know if you have any questions when you go to instal. Thanks for watching!!

Really helps me out, thanks man. Hope your face recovered!

I’m glad this helped you out! And my face healed just fine after that miserable fail. 🤣

Great video man. I just ordered mine should be here next week, I’ll be referring back to this video for sure.

@Awesomoto 3 года назад

Great to hear! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I just helped a guy today over Instagram DM with his install.

@justinladd2716 3 года назад

Will do!

Great video and while I sympathize with you, the ratchet to the face clip makes me chuckle every time I see it. Good way to start the video.

In the moment it hurt like hell, but afterwards it made me laugh so hard re-watching the clip LOL!

I have dp's allready installed, bought 4 new nuts and 2 new donuts' between midpipes and dp's so I don't get any leaks need to buy that cutter for the pipe and find midpipe's. :) nice work man!

@Awesomoto 3 года назад

Nice! The downpipes were a great improvement to the sound. Once I added the midpipe, it was the perfect combination! Let me know if you have questions during your install. Thanks for reaching out!

@@Awesomoto Ordered midpipe, and added mperformace floor mats as my car came with crappy ones. :) If the car will be stupid loud I may slap stock OEM dp's back on!> i need to swap to stock oem dps this year anyways , So I guess we find out!

@@StreetDrivenDaily The midpipe makes a huge difference in the sound and I think it would still sound amazing with the stock dps. If you do stock dp's with the midpipe, let me know how it sounds!

Do you buy the Down Pipe to Midpipe gaskets as well ?

@Awesomoto Год назад

Yes, make sure to add the gaskets to your cart.

@ryan48682 2 года назад

is the exhaust you had on it before the non-performance exhaust?

@Awesomoto 2 года назад

Hey Ryan, yes it was the non-performance exhaust.

@ryan-iu1pl 4 года назад

great video! been waiting for an actual tutorial one for a while lol out of curiosity when you bolted the first piece did you reuse the standard bolts or did it come with some new ones? i have a vrsf ready to fit but ive lost the bolts unfortunately so might need to buy new ones

@Awesomoto 4 года назад

Hey Ryan! I reused the OEM bolts, but it did come with all the bolts you need.

@ryan-iu1pl 4 года назад

Awesomoto lovely! cheers dude

@brandonle5821 4 года назад

amazing video! Are you running aftermarket downpipes or you still have your cats on?

@Awesomoto 4 года назад

I’m running VRSF careless down pipes. They’re a great addition to the mid-pipe and I felt the combination of the two drastically changed the sound of the exhaust. Super happy with VRSF products...and their affordable.

@zjldmd 3 года назад

Nice work. Enjoy

@Awesomoto 3 года назад

Thank you! 🙏🏻

@ajleyco3264 4 года назад

Did you only change the midpipe? No downpipe or tune? Sounds great!

@Awesomoto 4 года назад

AJ Leyco Thanks man! Yes, there is a down pipe and I also have Bootmod3 flash tune on the car. I have an earlier video post of the down pipe install and I’ll be uploading a bootmod3 video soon. Thanks for watching!

@Pandiculate_ 4 года назад

Sounds beastly as fuck with those valves open!

@shenwang1265 3 года назад

will it give you state emission issue?

@Awesomoto 3 года назад

I live in Florida, we don’t have emissions tests here, but it might fail with out the cats. If it was just mid pipe and cats install, it might be fine.

Hey, did you program in the old BMW chime on your car? My M4 has the newer chime and I'm trying to see if I can go back to the old one.

@Awesomoto 4 года назад

Antonio L Hey thanks for reaching out. This is actually the default chime in my M4. I think the 2015 M4s came with this and I’m not quite sure what year they updated it. What year is yours?

@djfinalmrimpossibletoignor2716 3 года назад

I watched your video as my guide to install mine and when I’m driving over 50mph I don’t hear it the exhaust sound anymore. Why is that?

@Awesomoto 3 года назад

Are you driving it in efficient mode when at 50 mph? The exhaust valves are variable based on rpm. I have Bootmod3 flash tune so that the valves stay open in Sport and Sport Plus mode. Let me know, I can help you troubleshoot if needed.

Is warrenty gone with this? If you did not do down-pipe and tune and just left it stock with mid pipe

@Awesomoto 3 года назад

Hey Yanzi! I’m not certain if this voids the warranty, but I’m inclined to say it does. You should check with your dealership to be sure. If it doesn’t void warranty, I highly recommend this upgrade!

lol it seems that way right? No, I just didn’t have any at the time. I recently stocked up on a bunch of power tools including an impact that will make installs much easier.

@rickdoyle4981 2 года назад

Don't listen to this. Power tools should be used sparingly. Any good experienced mechanic will tell you this. I only grab a power tool when absolutely necessary. Stripped bolts and broken bolts suck.
