Hey guys,

High Flow Air Filter
Centre Pipe / X-Pipe
E9x M3 4.0 V8, performance gain approx. 35-40bhp / 30 lb.ft incl. V-MAX release
Prices:
ECU Remap and Evolve Centre X Pipe with 200-Cell secondary CATS - £2499
Available worldwide with the evolve-R Cable

Cheers.

I have it and could not be happier. I will be posting a full review with both sound videos and dyno results shortly

Ive heard this from every evolve customer. Lets get some vids and Vbox times! ESS and Evolve have the fastest 60-130s (1st and 2nd) would be nice to see more N/A cars on the list

I'm currently on AA's tune but I'm actually waiting for my evolve tune to come in. I'll post a review when I get everything done.

Sal's a busy man lately!

But to answer your question, i'll ask a question. Why wouldn't you want to Evolve your car?

It's a great product, I couldn't be happier with the level of service from Paul, Imran, and Mark (there are more staff members, I've only contacted those), and the technical advice and conversations with Sal is nothing short of remarkable to understand S65 tuning.

Justin Case · 02-15-2014, 04:47 PM

You guys are making this seem very appealing! Trouble is I live in Edinburgh, Scotland. Just wondering if they any facilities nearby where I can get the kit installed.

Any half decent shop can install the X-pipe. The filter is very east if you think it'll help. The tune comes with a cable and clear instructions. All you need is a laptop.

Really? I thought there was a lot more to it, to get the best out of the tuning. So dyno is not absolutely necessary?

dyno not required, they ship you a cable and it vin locks to your car. conduct a diagnostic of your ecu then email the file to evolve then they will email you back a new file to load. it is dead simple and it is extremely effective.

Paul@Evolve · 02-16-2014, 06:26 PM

Exactly

It's a small ratio of customers visit the office these days, most things are done remotely with no need to dyno.

Irishace · 02-16-2014, 06:33 PM

And let me say again, the stage II package transforms the car. I absolutely love the car. The guys at Evolve seriously rule.

Justin Case · 02-16-2014, 06:36 PM

Wow, that's made it even more appealing.. Seriously considering getting this in the near future. How does it effect engine note? As I'm craving a bit more noise 4k+

I am running a stock rear section with the xpipe, it totally livens up the tone of the car. It sounds a lot nastier and much more 'race'. I love it. I will be trying to get a solid exhaust video of the car shortly but it bloody well keeps snowing here and its too dangerous to open up the car on these slick roads.

Any drone?

dparm · 02-16-2014, 08:21 PM

Just rode in a local M3 owner's car who had this tune along with nearly the same mods. I never trust my butt dyno, but the higher redline alone was pretty wicked.

That sounds like exactly what I'm after! Unintentional pun.. I know how you feel mate. Sat nav took me up a mountain back road into over 2inchs of snow on Pilot Super Sports lol. Saw an Aston Martin Rapide on the other side with a rather worried 40 year old behind the wheel..

No drone then? Perfect!

Irishace · 02-17-2014, 03:06 PM

OP, Here is the sound of my Evolve Xpipe and OEM rear section, its pretty nuts as is:

I also put up a thread about my Stage II review.

You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."
