No, this is what you get 'cat back', the midpipe included:

I reckon the mperformance exhaust seems to be the best value for money at this stage.

Yes, you get a "mid pipe" but not all the way that the image shows. Or is it another pipe in the box too?

If not it is more like an axle back.

Does that carbon fiber rear diffuser really do much? The dealer originally spec'd my car with it but that was one thing I was able to get them to remove. I think it was around $1,300.

Up close, yes. From a few feet away you can't tell.

No you're wrong buddy

It's the way the picture shows it. How do I know?

Because I have it on my car, that's why:

Point is: MPE is probably the best value for money, it's OEM(warranty), looks great(I have Ti tips) and sounds the best.

And it is even 2.7kgs lighter(LOL) than the stock exhaust I've been told on 2ertalk.de German BMW 2 series forum. Plus in Comfort/Sport when valve closed it's still comfy inside.

Whatever mate. It definitely is not axle back and that was the first question.

If I just want it to be loud, which one should I get?

No one can tell you as it is just personal opinion. There is no "best" exhaust.

What he said

[Bmwbb]

It is confusing for mpe as it has too much setting. Does it make only 2 sounds, sport vs track, or it also depends on the car setting (comfort, sport and sport+)?

It's open or closed(default).

When in Comfort and I'm opening the valve it goes to Sport (+) in terms of sound. The rest when closed is the same as stock afaik. So in Comfort no burbles and bangs but in Sport and Sport +(closed) burbles and bangs.
Open Valve: Happy New Year.

All that, plus, can be added to the OEM argument:

• BMW M conceived and fine-tuned this exhaust (likely in co-operation with a specialized company) with all the R&D knowledge and data fully available about their own car;
  aftermarket companies have to do some (reverse) engineering to figure things out; although developing car exhausts ain't particularly rocket science, it's good to know that this exhaust was made by the folks who created the car and who vouch that it complies with their proper quality standards;
• street legal: "Tuning? Officer, it's really made by BMW itself - as confirmed by this document."

A unique selling point that the aftermarket competition doesn't have (regardless of the quality and high specialization of several of them).

Yes, that is why all racing teams use OEM exhausts.

OK, I'm puzzled. I see the NL plates, but how do you tow your caravan without a trailer hitch?

[Adem1534]

Is there anything I can do to make the car louder without getting a full exhaust or downpipe? I returned my catless one and the high flow catted downpipe is very expensive.

Thanks!

[LBBDrew]

Turn ur ASD up

I kid- The sport cat DP is expensive relative to the catless DP, but is still very cheap compared to the MPE or any other cat-back (Remus, etc). And in terms of performance and volume, your gains are comparable.

Robin (or other with MPE),

Please confirm the following.

With the MPE, you have 6 modes possible
1) Exhaust in Sport or Track (2 settings)
2) Car in Comfort, Sport or Sport+ (3 settings)

Therefore, you have 6 sound possibilities.

Thanks!
