Active Autowerke BMW F80 F82 Exhaust Mid-Pipe - Resonated for M3 and M4
Unlock deeper sound, more power and faster turbo response on your BMW M3 or M4 with the Active Autowerke F8X Resonated Mid-Pipe. Designed specifically for the BMW F80 M3 and F82 M4, this single 3.5 inch oval mid pipe with resonated connecting pipes dramatically improves exhaust flow, reduces back pressure and transforms the factory exhaust note from raspy to rich and refined. If you are searching for BMW F80 M3 mid pipe, BMW F82 M4 mid pipe, F8X resonated mid pipe, M3 M4 centre section or Active Autowerke midpipe UK, this is the proven upgrade that delivers real gains and a sound you will love every drive.
Active Autowerke has over 30 years of BMW performance engineering behind this F8X mid pipe. It was engineered to eliminate the highly restrictive OEM centre section and to address the well-known uneven, out-of-sync turbo noise many owners describe as a weed eater tone. By moving to a single-pipe design and an oval 3.5 inch profile for ground clearance, the result is smoother flow, stronger performance and a deeper, throatier M car soundtrack without the unpleasant rasp.
Why choose the Active Autowerke F80 F82 Resonated Mid-Pipe
- Dyno proven gains - 18+ wheel horsepower and 30+ lb-ft over stock*

- Deeper, more harmonious exhaust note - eliminates the cheap weed eater sound
- Resonated connecting pipes help control drone while enhancing tone
- Single-pipe design for optimal flow and weight savings vs factory
- Noticeable increase in low-end and mid-range power
- Engineered for an exact fit on BMW F80 M3 and F82 M4
Design and sound engineering for the F8X platform
The factory F8X exhaust uses multiple silencers and a small internal crossover that restricts flow and accentuates the uneven turbocharger pulses. Active Autowerke’s solution is a high-flow single mid pipe that aligns those pulses, reduces restriction and enhances the classic M tone. The ovalised 3.5 inch tube maintains optimal diameter for performance while preserving ground clearance on UK roads.
