G80 M3 Z-Pipe

There has been a lot of hype regarding the Z-Pipe. I’m gonna quote ADRO here and say “not for everyone”. I personally have never been a fan of the single mid-pipes tone. However if you’re someone that does enjoy it, by all means MAD has you covered.

I personally like the reduced rasp and higher frequency exhausts that the Z-Pipes produce. However the whole Valvetronic Designs HFD and Yonristic have all the hype but as you know parts are from China. While VD has changed overtime and is now assembled in America I still couldn’t justify $3000 for a full system.

I decided to jump to Alibaba and get a full system for about $1500 with shipping and the results are amazing! Even the installer said the fitment was even easier and better than some of these more expensive companies.

Absolutely no drone and it sounds like a GTR R35 while on throttle and a bit more like a 370Z stationary. If you don’t like how those sound I’d advise the single mid pipe or equal length route.

No further modifications as I’ve only had this car for a month so it has stock downpipes

Alibaba manufacturer I went through was Jiangxi Boska Trading Co.
