I guess that one of the big benefits that the full evo Akra has over the MPE is the power gains

I am a bit partial though, your setup is almost identical to mine down to the installed M-Performance parts, but with two extra doors . Silverstone is such a classy color IMO.

Love your car and the mpe!
Imo if you are gonna spend the money on an aftermarket exhaust, the ones made of titanium make the most sense to me. Adds that exotic tone. It was the case on the e92 also. And the gtr Anyone want to sell me one for 3k with titanium tips? Lol |

The car looks great, and the MPE is a high-quality exhaust that rivals the build quality of anything on the aftermarket. My ideal F80 build is either an SS or a YMB.
But I really don't get it. The car sounds so terrible. So very terrible. And everyone in this thread is lavishing praise on it. Maybe I'm the idiot.

Can tom clarify the weights here? I'm not sure where everyone is getting 18 pounds ftom. I read it as the oem section weighed was the cut off pieces so no secondary cats are needing to be added back to the mpe weight.
It looks like 29 pounds savings to me |

Read the OP carefully. It shows 26.2lb difference (69lb - 42.8lb). There is also that "Important" note that says that the MPE retains the secondary cats and that their weight was not included: Quote:

So I guess the m3 only makes 420bhp too since that's what the official bmw documents say?

No you are not (assuming you are talking about the CF covers).
I for one prefer the nude Ti tips, especially when paired with the CF diffuser, and that is what I went for. I find it makes the exhaust look more purposeful. I do find the CF tips look good with the standard diffuser. But CF tips and CF diffuser is a bit overdone to my taste.

I for one believe that, if tested according to the requirements specified in the regulation, the S55 will make 431ps (425hp) at the crank within the allowable tolerance band of the regulation. You do like going in circles arguing with empty arguments, don't you...?

The Akrapovic (evolution system) is a true bolt-on system which eliminates any cutting of the stock exhaust system. The Akrapovic SlipOn is a Cut and Clamp like the MPE, so we'll compare those systems. Both Akrapovic SlipOn and MPE are street legal, since the secondary cats are retained. Sound is a bit higher pitched on the MPE - it definately has a signature exhaust note under load. Construction quality is a bit better on the Akrapovic systems, but unnoticeable on either once installed. In the end, you really can't go wrong with either system. Hear both systems in person and see what you like.

CanAutM3 How would you say upkeep is on keeping the tips clean? I know you haven't had it very long, but was just curious on your thoughts so far.

I've had the MPE for 5 months now, which includes quite a few in the dirty/sluchy/salty winter environment. I take the car to an automated car wash once in awhile and when the weather permits to get the grim and salt off the car. That is enough to keep the tips looking good. In the summer, I suspect a simple wipe of the tips every time I hand wash the car will be good enough. I am not too anal about them, they remain exhaust tips after all .

Am I seeing this right, that the MPE with CF tips costs in the neighborhood of $5K?
