Fj motorwerkes equal length mid pipe & Tips

Just had an FJ MotorWerkes equal length mid pipe installed today and fcuking WOW

https://www.fjmotorwerkes.net/produc...d-pipe-exhaust

During the install I met up with Fas, the director of FJM and got to ride in his “mental” X3MC, yes the very car thats quicker off the line than the Lamborghini Huracan. I’ve spent the last half hour trying to think of the words that would do this car justice but sorry, I’ve blanked. What I can say though is what a lovely, honest and knowledgeable guy Fas is.

Apparently, I am now running with the first X3MC EL mid pipe in the UK so Fas was just as excited as myself to hear how it sounds. Neither of us, or the guys at Specialist Auto Services (a shout out for those guys as well) were disappointed.

I also opted for some 115mm FJ MotorWerkes exhaust tips which look savage. Should you be interested, Fas sells a few different types / finishes so I suggest you contact him before purchasing (yes he ships all over the world) as my car doesn’t have the factory diffuser so the beasts I chose might not fit your motor.
https://www.fjmotorwerkes.net/produc...c-x4mc-f98-f97 That’s my X3 in the pic.

Like a lot of the guys over the pond, I was really interested in the system Active Autowerke were bringing to the market but the import duty and shipping made it out of the question. Some browsing turned up Fas’s system which is less than HALF the cost of the AA system and that’s before the import and shipping so its an absolute bargain.

Don’t going asking for videos or sound clips guys, I can’t do those things but Fas would be happy to supply I’m sure.

Yeah, I work with a company called CZ exhaust, factory direct stuff at 1/4 the US prices for similar items. The US ones will be slightly higher quality, but its overkill for what it is - welded metal under the car.

Love the black tips. After seeing the pic on their site with them installed on the lighter color vehicle, I may just purchase them.

The pictures are of my vehicle and not of their exhaust tips. Just emailed them again about this.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/383869689032

Here is where I got mine, if he is buying the ebay listing. He is putting a gloss coat and marking them up over double the cost. These do require some trimming to get them to fit flush. Which I do think they are using my exhaust tips bc the other pic they have you can see them sticking out quite a bit past the bumper which is how they fit without trimming.

Please take down my pictures of my car for the exhaust tips. I didn't purchase my exhaust tips from yall nor is the fitment accurate if you are using the same tips that I purchased off eBay.

Mine don't have the slight bulge around the rim like those do. Also, the paint on those eBay tips looks like a bobble finnish so that would need sand blasting off to repaint them gloss and these look to be enambled not sprayed. Certainly not the same.
Further, the bolts are chrome not painted black
From what ive seen of FJ MotorWerkes products, its all quality

The tips were just placed on the very end of the exhaust so we could get an idea of how they would look plus they were still in the protective cellophane wrapper.

Your email is responded to.

We do not purchase from your ebay link. We are able to produce and supply at whole sale level, have your tips in pink blue red or green.

We have 2 designs of this product, stock diffuser and aftermarket diffuser type.

Thank you for your concern, wish you all the best.

I fully agree. With the level of technology we have available at our finger tips, it's only a matter of time before someone builds a unit at a much more attractive price.

The photos don’t look right on the site. The one I originally saw on the FB post looked very close to AA’s but on the FJ site it looks like the M3 or M4 version.
