**Upgrading Your BMW M3: A Look at the Midpipe Mod**

For those who own a BMW M3, upgrading their car can be an exciting experience. One popular modification that can breathe new life into your vehicle is the midpipe mod. In this article, we'll take a closer look at what's involved in installing a midpipe and how it can improve your driving experience.

If you already have an unlocked ECU, installing a midpipe is a relatively simple process. The midpipe replaces the stock exhaust system, removing only the center section to allow for better airflow. This modification alone makes a significant difference in terms of performance and sound. With the midpipe installed, your M3 will produce a more aggressive exhaust note that is sure to turn heads.

However, if you don't want to unlock your ECU or still want to install the midpipe, there's an alternative solution. You can purchase a Li Pro module, which deletes error codes and allows you to use the midpipe without affecting your car's onboard computer. This way, you can enjoy the benefits of the midpipe without worrying about throwing any error codes.

**The Benefits of a Midpipe Mod**

So, what are the benefits of installing a midpipe mod? Firstly, it improves the sound output of your M3. The stock exhaust system can be quite underwhelming for some owners, and replacing it with a midpipe upgrade brings out the full potential of your car's engine. With the midpipe installed, you'll experience a more satisfying exhaust note that complements the vehicle's overall performance.

Another benefit of installing a midpipe mod is the improvement in driving dynamics. The midpipe allows for better airflow, which can result in increased power output and improved throttle response. This makes your M3 feel more responsive and engaging to drive, especially when pushing it hard on twisty roads or track days.

**The Dravit Gro M3 Touring: A Beautiful Example**

Our team recently had the chance to take a look at the beautiful Dravit Gro M3 touring car, which showcases the benefits of a midpipe mod. The car features a stunning yellow exterior finish and comes equipped with daytime running lights that add to its overall aesthetic appeal.

Inside, the car boasts a tartufo interior that's both comfortable and stylish. When it comes to performance upgrades, this particular M3 has received a midpipe mod, which has made a significant difference in terms of sound output and driving dynamics. The result is a car that feels more alive and responsive, even with the stock valves still in place.

**A Quick Test Drive**

To give you a better idea of what it's like to drive an M3 with a midpipe mod, we took the Dravit Gro M3 touring for a spin on a chilly winter morning. As soon as we started the engine, we could feel the difference – the exhaust note was more aggressive and satisfying than ever before.

With the stock valves closed, the car felt relatively quiet, but when we opened them up, the sound output became even more impressive. The M3's performance was noticeable too, with improved throttle response and a sense of power that was hard to resist.

**Additional Upgrades: Exploring Other Options**

One thing to note about midpipe mods is that they can be paired with other upgrades to take your car to the next level. For example, you could consider installing 200-cell catalytic converters or catless downpipes for an even more aggressive sound output and improved performance.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up ladies and gentlemen and welcome to this POV review by autotop now my name is Max and today I am going to take you around this demo car of ours uh the BMW M3 g81 two ring absolutely lovely car in an amazing spec and we have two of our products installed on this car the yellow daytime running lights as you can see and the evolution M midpipe meaning that you gain a lot of flow you have a much much better sound because these cars sound pretty good stock but you know there is a lot to gain with a mod like this now if you have your ECU unlocked already you can just install the midpipe of course uh because you don't have any error codes but if you don't want to unlock your ECU and still want this midpipe you can buy uh a li Pro module uh which you can also buy in our store and it basically deletes the error codes uh it basically tells the car that everything is still in place while you have your midpipe installed so that means that you don't have any error codes on the dash which is uh nice of course so uh it is hella cold it is I'm freezing my balls off so I'm going to do a quick walk around of this beautiful beautiful dravit Gro M3 touring with as I said the yellow daytime running lights we've got these in the shop as well I will link the product we have them for most modern BMWs so from the fs series uh onwards and it's a very nice mod we really like it so dravit grow carbon exterior pack black wheels and then we end up at the rear just such a lovely rear end the M3 touring love that uh with the stock back box as you can see so that means that you keep the stock look you also keep the stock valves which usually are the best ones and then this car has a tartufo interior as well which is super nice so let's go for a drive oh it's so cold okay let's start her up listen to that that's that sounds like a proper M3 right stock it can be a little bit underwhelming for a lot of people and uh I totally get that so that's why this is such a nice solution because we've got stock down pipes just the center part is gone and replaced which is super nice so we have the button right there for the valves that's valves closed that's a big difference so that is still very acceptable I would say and then if you go to one of the more aggressive settings the exhaust FS are linked to that as well and that means that you just have a little more sound what so so much better it's so much louder so it definitely livens up the car because it is an M3 of course and you want it to feel special you want it to feel like this basically this is what they should have made from the factory uh although you know it's mostly regulations that prevent them from doing stuff like this uh there have to be a lot of silencers and filters in place that kind of limit the amount of sound that they can get from a car like this unfortunately oh that's nice so what happens if we close the valves let you guys hear the difference so still quite nice I think this is the thing about an exhaust modification don't underestimate the power of Silence you still wanted to feel like you can drive it on a regular basis like not like everyone hates you that you encounter and also you know if you're feeling not that exuberant on a Sunday you know if you have to praise the Lord you don't want to be too loud too obnoxious then you use this mode you still have an M3 but it's relatively quiet quite like that that's a good sound around so the good thing about this exhaust is that the fake sound is is less noticeable as well because they do pump fake sound through the speakers but because your real exhaust is louder it's less annoying I think so if you would want to go even further as I said you can also do down pipes uh we have 200 cell catalytic converter down pipes in our store we also have catless down pipes if you want to go like absolutely nuts nice burbles but that's the beautiful thing about this platform the options are Mega it's you can't really do anything wrong because there are so many different versions available different brands we've got a couple different ones available in our store this is a completely stock car it just has that midpipe done and it is such a big difference the experience is just so much better so if you want to upgrade your M3 I think this is a very very nice addition because you just want your car to feel a bit more alive than the stock version it's just it's not enough it really isn't and with this midpipe you you just it's it's like a dipping your toe in the in the tuning world you don't have to do anything to your ECU it doesn't throw any error codes or anything like that and still the difference compared to stock which is basically this the difference is so big it's day and night so it's a super easy plug andplay way to upgrade your M3 uh we've got it in stock check it out link is in the description lovely thanks for watching and I'll see you at the
