Single vs. Dual Front Pipe: Choosing the Best Fi EXHAUST Setup for Your BMW G8X M2 / M3 / M4

Single vs. Dual Front Pipe: Choosing the Best Fi EXHAUST Setup for Your BMW G8X M2 / M3 / M4

When it comes to enhancing the performance and sound profile of your BMW G87 M2, G80 M3, or G82 M4, choosing the right exhaust setup is key. At Fi EXHAUST, we offer multiple configuration options to help you unlock the full character of your S58 engine—both in terms of tone and style.

Classic Quad Tip Layout	M-Performance Style Tip Layout

Classic Quad or M Performance Tip Layouts

Start by choosing between two distinct tip designs:

• Classic Quad Tip – Timeless and aggressive.
• M Performance-Style Tip – Sleeker, motorsport-inspired.

Both tip options are compatible with either a dual or single front-pipe configuration, offering different sound experiences tailored to your preferences.

Single vs Dual Front Pipe: What’s the Difference?

Dual Front Pipe Setup

• Features an X-pipe for smoother exhaust gas flow
• Produces a sharper, high-pitched tone
• Delivers an aggressive, race-inspired sound that stands out in higher RPMs

Single Front Pipe Setup

• Offers a deeper, throatier growl
• Best appreciated at idle and under 4,000 RPM
• Slight rasp characteristic of the S58, but more refined compared to factory dual mid-pipe tones

Whichever you choose, you're getting a system engineered for maximum flow and rich tone—no compromises.

Exhaust Tip Finishes to Match Your Build

Each Fi EXHAUST catback comes standard with silver tips, but you can upgrade to four additional finishes:

• Matte Black
• Gold
• Burnt Blue
• Carbon Fiber

Whether you're building a showpiece or a track weapon, we've got the look to match.

Take Full Control with the Fi Pro Remote

One of the most overlooked aspects of the stock G8X exhaust system is how limited the valve control actually is. Even when you press the exhaust button, the valves only open 30–50%, and they continue to modulate based on throttle input.

With the Fi Pro Remote Control, you can:

• Manually open or close valves 100%
• Bypass stock ECU limitations
• Achieve the purest and most aggressive sound when paired with our catback system

Check out the demonstration video below to hear the difference for yourself.
