Share this item:
The Alpha Competition Mid-Pipe Exhaust Resonator for BMW S55 engines, found in M3 and M4 models, presents a targeted modification for enthusiasts seeking to personalize their vehicle’s exhaust note and potentially enhance power characteristics.
This mid-pipe centers on replacing the factory resonator within the exhaust system. The resonator acts as a chamber specifically designed to attenuate certain sound frequencies, resulting in a more subdued exhaust tone. Replacing it with Alpha Competition’s mid-pipe, which often features a straight-through design, can lead to a more pronounced and potentially more aggressive exhaust character.
Certain aftermarket parts manufacturers suggest that eliminating the resonator might yield minimal horsepower increases due to reduced exhaust backpressure. However, these gains are typically modest and may not be readily perceptible in everyday driving conditions.
Eliminating the resonator can introduce unwanted droning noises at specific RPM ranges, particularly noticeable within the vehicle cabin. This can significantly detract from driving enjoyment for some drivers.
Depending on your location, alterations to the exhaust system might lead to failures during emissions testing.
Exploring Alternative Options
Upgrading the entire cat-back exhaust system, encompassing the mid-pipe, muffler, and sometimes even the downpipes, can deliver a more complete and potentially more desirable improvement in sound compared to solely replacing the resonator. Alpha Competition might also offer such a system for a more complete solution.
Certain manufacturers provide high-flow resonators that can produce a slightly more aggressive exhaust note while still offering some degree of sound dampening to minimize excessive drone.
