Please note this pipe set will not fit the 440i M Sport convertible
Upon the release of the 340i and 440i, it became
instantly recognizable that the exhaust note from the mighty 3.0 turbo had
fallen below the levels of expectation from owners looking for the emotional
release that comes with driving such a powerful vehicle.
BMW in their defence offered in some part to
recompense owners with the MPE (M Performance Exhaust).
However, we believe that the MPE (and whilst offering a nice improvement over the stock rear silencer), fails to fully hit the mark sonically, and can oftentimes leave the owner craving more sound.
This leaves the vehicle owner in limbo, as the removal of the centre silencers as well as installing the MPE introduces a considerable amount of
With this in mind, we developed the BCS Centre Silencer Delete Pipe set with DDE.
The BCS DDE (Dynamic Drone Eliminator) pipe set, is the perfect partner for the MPE. The product is defined as being dynamic as it leaves the sound increase in place, shaving off a fraction of the db's whilst eliminating completely all drone.
The result of installing our pipe set completely redefines the stock exhaust note, not only by increasing the overall sound output but by redefining the character of the sound and in so doing proving drama in the form of pops and burbles which have become the stuff of legend on this platform, especially in the Sport and Sport+ modes.

If you do not have an MPE installed on your vehicle, you will not require this pipe set, instead, we recommend the non-DDE variant of this product and therefore suggest that you navigate back to the appropriate page on our 340i / 440i product listing.
The product is completely MOT friendly and suitable for both road and track use.
The fitting time for this product is 1 hour.
Please note that in order to install the centre silencer delete pipe set, the original BMW exhaust system will require cutting just before the rear silencer on the dimple that BMW provides to mark the cutting position prior to installing an MPE.
