I have over 35k miles on my v1 MPE and it still looks brand new. I am assuming this is because my flaps are always open so it probably never gets extremely hot. I go over a ton of horrible speedbumps in my neighborhood daily and have been wondering if mine would crack so I can get it replaced with v2 under warranty which will run out in a couple years but it still looks like it did the day I got it.

There are extra brackets from the can to the exhaust tips. I had my V1 swapped for a V2 under warranty on my previous F80 in 2017 so at least that far back.

Further, you don't need the valves to be closed for the rear section to change colour. IMO, driving hard with the valves open is what gets the rear section to change colour. There are still some exhaust gases that flows through the rear section even with the valves open since the channel remains open. Since there is much less exhaust flowing though the rear section, it reduces the flow velocity heating up the exhaust gases as they expand.

For sure, tracking with the valves forced closed for sound will heat up the rear section even more. I tried doing that once and the engine started pulling power after a few laps. Valves are meant to be open above 4,000rpm to get the max out of the engine.

Before my car's warranty expired, I had my dealer inspect my MPE and they found a crack at the top of the muffler - not where most of the cracks have been discussed here. There are no replacement units available at this time but I'm on the list for a replacement. The areas of greatest concern were determined to be fine.

From what I was told the exhaust has been discontinued. They don't sell it in europe any longer due to the new TUV sound regulations so sooner or later the warranty supply will run out

It is more about the Ti than the color, Ti would get blue with the time
Ti exhausts usually have problems if they are not reinforced or the walls are too thin. I remember when I bought a Ti exhaust from Amuse for my S2000 in 2005. I went to track, Supercharged the S2000 and the exhaust was fine. It weighted 20lbs with a resonator and two mufflers, so you can imagine how things the walls were, while the stock Exhaust weighted 65 lbs Some friends from UK bought 15 exhausts and 7 of them has cracks inside of the resonator and theirs car where not modified, I was lucky or did not make to many miles (around 10K) as they. In US the same problem, so at the end no one combined Ti exhaust with Forced Induction (FI) S2000.

mpe repair approach?
Just purchased a very clean 2015 m4 and love it aside from it having this MPE rattle at startup which is simply awful...
For those that opted to repair vs replace, can you provide some examples of what the repair shop did to address the crack and bracing? Cracks: Concern the weld will weaken the metal around the crack and cause more... Has that occurred to anyone? Brace(s): Is the consensus two or just one is all you needed? Lastly, how was the weld performed? Do you have to take the exhaust off the car or do they weld with it in place? Thanks all! |

You can Ti weld the cracks and no issues usually. They crack at the pipe attaching to the side of the muffler as this is thinner than the body of the exhaust. V2 they just welded a bracket so the pipes would not flex. You can get this mod done at a Ti welding place as some owners have done.
Cracks happen with metal fatigue and this is usually caused by extreme heat. |

Type of titanium alloy?
I have a repaired MPE that was in my vehicle when purchasing. One of the support bars has come loose at the weld point. I took it to my weld shop here, and they are wondering what type of titanium alloy the exhaust is made with in order to get the best bond.
Anyone know the answer by chance or what titanium rods you/your shop potentially used to repair? Searched all over and haven't found it yet… |
