M340i Exhaust Options
In the market for a new exhaust setup and was pondering some of the options.
I see that AWE just released an exhaust and am very tempted to pull the trigger on the track setup with black tips. Anyone have an after market setup with some battle scars they could share? My biggest thing would be voiding warranty |

BMW performance exhaust won't void warranty. Minimal HP gain but better sound. No I do not have it. Several people on here do

No exhaust should "void" a warranty unless something absolutely drastic should happen. If you're worried about that tho, go for the MPE as mentioned above and have BMW install it.
You'll forego the other options w quad tips and slightly more tame sound but is still a great option!

with a quality aftermarket system. The only other thing is that if on finance then BMW can insist you put it back to stock if not a BMW part. If I could, I would go MPE just to be on the cautious side but in the EU it isn't available so we don't have a choice but to look at aftermarket and play the warranty game.

Why not go for the M Performance Exhaust? It's awesome and you will never be bothered by BMW for warranty BS.

Another vote for MPE. No warranty issues, and good sound. Just really needs quad 3.5" tips in my opinion.
None of these systems are going to generate much power at all without a tune. And even THEN it will be barely noticeable until a downpipe is added.

I ordered the car with the MPE installed after driving a non-MPE m340i on the dealer lot. It is a noticeable difference in sound and really opens the car up. In sport and sport+ you get all the fun burbles and pops. Over time - if warranty becomes less important to you and if the car isn't leased - i would consider the Dinan option. Sounds like it's a bit deeper in tone than the MPE.

Our exhaust system will not void the warranty on any other parts to your car, including the engine and drivetrain. We do not tamper with or alter emissions control devices, nor do we require cutting of the old system.
We also Guarantee no CEL with proper installation and back everything with a Lifetime Warranty. Here's a good resource for you: "According to the Magnuson-Moss Act, a vehicle manufacturer cannot automatically cancel your warranty just because you’ve installed aftermarket car parts. This is an illegal practice. That said, if your aftermarket part somehow causes or contributes to a failure in your vehicle, the dealer may be able to deny your warranty claim—as long as they can prove the connection. In these cases, the burden of proof is entirely on the dealership." Source |

Is the exhaust generally louder overall, or does it compare to standard comfort mode quiet at low RPM? The dual muffler setup looks awesome!

So I'm excited to announce some good news, not for you wallet though.
I'm going to be the first car to use the new Valvetronic Design full exhaust system. They should be here in the next month or so
