Videos of my E92 M3 w/MRF X-Pipe and Vanguard on the dyno

[///Matthew]

While at Rogue Engineering's Open House/Charity Event I made a few runs on their Dyno Dynamics heartbreaker...

2013 Santorini Blue Individual BMW E92 M3

Performance modifications:

Active Autowerkes Green Drop-in Filter
MRF Engineering Velaforza X-Pipe with HJS 200 Cell High Flow Cats*
Vanguard Performance Titanium Rear Section and Connecting Pipes

*Car has no performance software at this time

That color is perfect. Nice M!

Your car looks and sounds so damn good. Love this thing. Any feedback about the exhaust setup?

Btw, I remember reading that you lost your E36 during the flood a while ago. Did you ever replace it? I just got one a couple of weeks ago and I'm having too much damn fun driving it. Not quick or powerful, but everything feels so much more analogue than the E92.

Thanks guys!

You know, while I am sure I'm making more power than I was with the standard setup, I can't really make a comparison aside from sound. I installed this setup on my 2011 at ~450miles, and my 2013 M3 at ~220 miles, well before break in. So I have no experience with a "stock" M3 being pushed at WOT or north of 5500 RPM. I can tell you this, it is MUCH louder, and the sound is intoxicating in person. It seems to develop a bit of an Italian accent from around 4k onward... No complaints here!

Yeah, my once pristine 74k mile E36 M3 saw quite a bit of water... I bought it back from insurance and will be slowly bringing it back to life. I have been building a new house, so the car stuff has been put on the back burner for almost a year now. Being that I close on the house tomorrow, the cars will be getting some love again shortly.

Techno Violet is a great color BTW! Good luck with it!

Thanks! I lucked out because I bought the car locally. 74k is insanely low. That's EAG material right there. Glad you are going to save the car though.

Btw, was there a reason the fans weren't running?

Would love to see a dyno run on the same dyno with stock or stock + TP's section to finally end the speculation of the MRF midsection on a NA car.

Car looks great btw, sounds just like mine used to when I had the Megan on it.

It was super clean... Saving it for sure! The fan was running, it's just an effect of the frame rate of the video and RPM of fan. The same effect can "freeze" helicopter blades in videos.

Same here, I've very curious to see that.

Thank you! The Megan seems to have a similar design to the Vanguard, so I'm not surprised by the similar sound.

love the color of your car! Any plans on going back to the supercharger?

[6underpressure]

Sounds good man... 100% better in person. Why don't I see you around anymore lol

Thanks! It's a very dynamic color. I'm certainly open to running the Harrop again, I wouldn't rule it out.

I really don't drive the car very often. You're more apt to see me in the Jeep!

Geez, the colors on the E36 M3s were just revolutionary. Between EB, TV and DY, I'm not sure there were better choices until BMW started bringing back interesting colors for the F80/2.

The only thing that I miss on my car is not having the spoiler. Have you ever considered adding it? For me, that would mean finding another trunk and have it repainted because I'm not interested in drilling holes in the original trunk.

We have almost the exact same garage haha. I also have a 4Runner as a beater, rather than a Jeep

I know! Don't forget Avus and Dakar! The E36 M3 really had some great color options, and the wheels choices...

I actually want to run a GT wing with no risers, and like you, I'll need a donor trunk. There is no way I'm drilling mine. 4Runner is a nice truck! I've wanted one for a long time.

Great. I'd love to see that kit running, it looks promising

I'm very hopeful. It's beautifully engineered.

I really love this color so much.
