Decat fitted with MPE
Hi all,
Fitted a decat to my 540i today, car already had the MPE which was very much lacking in sound. The decat has transformed it and sounds perfect now, I’ve also added bootmod stage 2. In sports plus now the car sounds so aggressive with loads of burbles and back firing! I have a couple of vids but how do I upload them? |

Did you do the work yourself? If so, how tough was it?
I've only seen the videos on the F30s so I'm curious about the route I take when I install the down pipe that is collecting dust in my garage. |

No a garage did it. Took him about 3 hours as he had some trouble with a bolt and he also took the exhaust down a bit

Easy enough to do yourself if you got some basic mechanical skills. I was stuffed around by the shop that I'd picked initially to do the install and ended up doing it myself without ramps. Just jack up front right side and use some supports or a platform so you can squeeze under the car. There's some tips I wish I'd known beforehand, but certainly doable.

I installed a MAD Catless DP from X-PH. It took me 1.5 hrs by myself with a simple ratchet set. The rest of my exhaust system is OEM. You can definitely hear the turbo spool. I have Bootmod3 stage 2 91ACN on right now, the burbles are a little louder, but the OEM muffler does a really good job suppressing the sound. I would say the sound is nice if you're trying to stay low key.
