MPE with fab speed x pipe

drgmt · 03-03-2018, 04:56 PM

Hello.

Keen to here from anyone that has this combo?

How much cutting was required and how do you like the sound?

Fitment and quality ?

No cutting required. It is practically bolt-on with the MPE. I say"practically" because it's probably not possible to solo install.

The sound is deep and loud.

Any smell from the exhaust by removing that secondary cat?

Thanks so much !

It's worth it. I wrote that a while back and had to figure things out on my own which was a little frustrating. Since I have already documented my effort, others I know have had a much better experience, especially those who went to muffler shops. I had also shared my feedback with Fabspeed so I assume they made some adjustments because one of the guys I follow on Instagram has his car bagged and is always sharing his ride being lowered to the ground. That can't be done on my car without an issue.

I'm not a pro, I just do things on my own because I find it an entertaining way to save a buck.

This midpipe will take your MPE to another level

Go with AA mid pipe with MPE, it sounds great!
But yes you will have to cut MPE inorder for it to work.

Only issue is if the MPE exhaust cracks - BMW won't fix it.

Do it! I should mention the 2nd cat delete turns up the decibel in everything slightly atleast including start up.

Too loud for the missus lol. I got away with the mpe exhaust and I just went that little too far with the midpipe.

Aapparition90 · 03-05-2018, 05:48 AM

Is it louder even in efficent ?

That's an important point. Has to be reasonably quiet in efficient or I'll be chased out of street!

Hahahaha. In efficient you wouldn’t know the difference only on cold start it’s loud for the first 30 seconds then it’s quiet as the stock midpipe. The exhaust comes to life when on the throttle in sport mode it has a much deeper sound and much more burble when slowing down.

dubsesd · 03-05-2018, 06:26 AM

I have this combo. It's about 25-30% louder under heavier load. Otherwise very similar to mpe driving around casually just a deeper note
