This color continues to impress me more and more. Does MPE stand for i[MP]ressive [E]exhaust sound?

Lol it might as well stand for that! It's a big improvement over the stock CS exhaust.

I do not have the 12V in the footwell. There is a hole but the hardware is not there.

Did those light stripes ever warped? How did they hold up? Worth the 60$?

Never warped, looks like new still. Worth it if you want it!

No interest as yet? I'm thinking of getting rid of mines too lol. I'm seeing a few GT4's in the low 80's. I would take a break for a few months and put down a nice down payment. If I can get my payment to 1k a month I would take it in a heartbeat.

I saw one for $70k! I didn't like the color so I didn't follow up with why. Miles weren't high. $1k/mo would be ideal, but I'm in no rush. I'm in no rush to lease transfer either, I get several calls a week, but no one biting the bullet yet. I honestly wouldn't mind keeping it for 2 more years and just modding it.

Is the MPE axle back or cat back?

Throttleblip · 10-25-2019, 11:02 AM

OP can you post a video clip of the sound. I love my stock CS sound in termos of tome, but wish it was just a tad louder sometimes. Thanks!

The MPE bolts onto the down pipe and includes a midpipe.

Here's a flyby from WOT across the finish. You can hear the burbles as I exit the video.

I have a flyby WOT at 133mph but I haven't uploaded it yet. Give me a sec...

Here it is:

Thanks!!! Sounds good. Apart from being louder, how would you describe the difference in sound from the inside of the cabin (windows closed)?

Very good and NO DRONING! I could barely hear the stock CS exhaust so it felt isolating and I was used to the MPE on my previous F80. It really improves the driving experience, now I can hear the engine and it matches the power behind the pedal without being super obnoxious. The burbles are more noticeable and it sounds much deeper and more raw.

Cat back.

The MPE comes in two sections, the mid section replaces the stock mid resonator with an H-pipe.

MPE requires cutting your stock exhaust as well.

No it doesn't. You cut your stock mid pipe and the MPE clamps onto that.

Correct. I was simplifying it. "Bolt" was just a euphemism.
