I made this thread to get others opinions on the Mperformance Exhaust.
I added this selection to my build as the stock exhaust is way too quiet and I prefer the larger tips of the MPE as well.
Before I get started and I will cover in my personal review and thread I DO LOVE THIS CAR.. IT IS AMAZING AND I AM MORE THAN THRILLED WITH IT with one small complaint... the sound
First time I heard my cars exhaust was at the dealer in the showroom as my Sales rep set in the seat cranked it up and pulled it out of the showroom floor. I stood in anticipation of it starting to hear the sound of the MPE upon starting I expected it to be a little bit deeper/ louder than it was especially in the showroom as most cars / motorcycles usually sound deeper in a closed in area.
After starting the car up again once I got home I got out to have a listen.. even had the wife drive the car to hear it take off. Not bad, just not good as in you would be hard pressed to think I spent extra money on the exhaust system. Also there is a very noticeable rattle upon start up I believe coming from the heat shield.. it goes away after about 30 seconds.. but is rather embarrassing as it sounds metallic and cheap.. Is there a fix to this or is this pretty normal?
didn't have that rattle on past cars of mine.
I primarily keep the car in Sport Plus, perhaps after I log some more miles on it break in will give a little deeper tone.
In short Its not my M but I was expecting a little more grunt... Honestly I find it very underwhelming and a tad unfulfilling... Granted I wanted smoother and more refined this round for my car choice I just thought adding the MPE would step it up another notch.
I added this to the build so no stock exhaust to change out to so I will be keeping this exhaust for the next 3 years.. however I am considering going ahead and placing my order tomorrow for the Stage 1 Dinan Tune.. hoping this will give it not only a little extra power but just a little extra sound as well.
For those of you with just MPE.. thoughts
and for those of you with MPPSK have you heard a 540 with just MPE.. any noticeable difference in sound ?
last... I have pretty much zero drone in comfort or sport... I have yet to put the car in Eco and don't foresee it being pressed anytime soon.
Look forward to hearing from those of you that have this exhaust.
