Sure thing. Here's mine.

Sorry for the background noise but you can hear the exhaust pops and bangs well enough. If I go over 5000rpm exhaust acts differently in park and doesn't burp anymore (second throttle only engine noise). Around 4000-4500rpm when I let go of throttle in park, the pops and bangs come to life and I'm a happy happy boy

BTW, I don't think you can get the MPPSK without buying the MPE again. MPPSK comes with MPE, tune and torque converter.
You can get BM3 which mind you is way cheaper and the first stage apparently is the same tune.
To be honest, it doesn't sound louder to me, it has some burbles though. But I remember when I got Mppsk for my N55 X6 a few years ago, the muffler was less pronounced for the first couple months, then it would "break in" and become a little louder with more pops and burbles.
I don't think I am going to risk my warranty and go with either a BM3 or MHD this time around. BMW dealers now have to flag any mods due to some new regulations.
Yeah I had a listen and yours seem louder. I like the burbles a lot though, but I got go with the DP I think! Problem is there so much insulation I don't think I can here it much. How is your? Can you here anything under normal driving or you gotta push it?
Problem is if I do a DP unless it's 300 or 400 and higher in NA, it will through a CEL and I have to get a tune no matter what. That's partially why I hesitated.
I'm not too worried about the warranty as it has ended a few months back. Next I'll be getting an LCI 540i, planning to move the MPE and with $1000 get BM3 and a DP. I am trying to stop 😂😂

My high flow 200 cell cat wasn't that noticeable without the mpe tbh. I guess it really doesn't make sense to go with 300 cell for even more money.. I get a check engine light every 500 miles, but able to reset it with the jb4, you can also do that with any obd adapter. There is another thing available for both of us-the mid pipe
It's not noticeable under normal driving conditions with windows up and revs below 2000, but that's a good thing right lol

It sounds really nice once I push it though, especially under bridges
