MPE vs fabspeed DP

Hey guys I'm having a rough time deciding what I want to do, I currently have a dinan res delete and I either want to just add a catted downpipe or go with MPE, I'm not sure which one sounds better but I also am not sure if I want warranty issues with a downpipe..idk thoughts?

MPE will give you better sounding but dp makes power gains.

With DP, you need to also factor in concerns of warranty, CEL(high flow can eventually throw codes) and emissions.

In your case, my vote goes to DP since it costs less and you already have the resonator delete.

Find my threads see what I did if it helps.

110% go with our Sport Cat. You will be much more satisfied with the money spent because not only will you get real horsepower gains but you will also get sound as well. Zero issues when it comes to a CEL and I have not heard one person having an issue in regards to warranty. I have an M235i myself with our Sport Cat and Muffler Bypass Exhaust and I take it into the dealership all the time.

I'd love to chat more and get you set up! Check your PMs!

I have the same set up. Its loud! Crackles sound like a gun going off! To me adding the downpipe made the valves closed as loud and open without the downpipe....

Here is a video of an M235i with our Sport Cat and MPE. It is going to sound practically the same!

If anyone has any questions about different exhaust combinations or about our Sport Cat, don't hesitate to shoot me a PM!

No offence to Fabspeed...but how is this (vids below) even REMOTELY "practically the same" sounding as the M235i??? I know it's a different DP than yours, but it can't make that much difference. Otherwise it's a fantastic advertisement for ER DP.

To the OP ...get BOTH. Shouldn't even be a question.

No offense taken but if you click the description of the YouTube video itself, it tells you that particular M2 is running a catless downpipe. That is completely different than an M235i with a Sport Cat Downpipe which is what the OP wanted to hear.

I can tell you that the m2 with the mpe and sort cat dp is quite a bit louder than an m235i with an mpe and the same dp I actually took the dp off my 235 before I traded it in and the m2 is quite a bit louder no question about it
