Bad idea… Ask me how I know - itll eventually look worse than leaving it unpainted.
There will be a better solution eventually… Hopefully with the m performance exhaust system |

Might have to go true aftermarket (aka, not M performance) to address the cow udder.

I don't know...this looks rather saggy to me....I imagine it would be even worse (as the stock one is) from further back.

Also just to show how wide stock muffler is (this is for M4 stock exhaust system vs M4 MPE but I believe the difference for between the M2C stock and MPE mufflers will be similar, if not more): |

BMW has to be using all that volume to try and resonate a lower, deeper sound. I dunno...I just can't do anything but laugh that it's so damn big (<cptobvious voice> That's what she said! </cptobvious voice> )
Seriously, just straight pipe it and use the muffler volume as secondary fuel storage... My bet is another 9-10 gallons easy |

It's still looks good. I did this a few months back. I just cleaned it well taped off everything and sprayed it, did like 3 coats.
Also this is a daily through the rain, car wash and gravel roads.

I plan on removing it and having it ceramic coated with JetHot or the like. Same thing they use on race headers/manifolds.

Big, big, big ASS thank you to sly1types !!!
Used VHT matte black per your recommendation. Just used masking tape to protect the exhaust tips, and applied 3 coats. Easy enough just lie down and spray away. (Though, I do have a bit of a headache from breathing in the fumes. So, you know, if nobody sees me on the forum over the next couple of days, maybe someone call 911?) Now you see it... now you don't! |

Also, the haphazard spraying is probably why I inhaled so many fumes. Honestly, I thought about putting on one of those surgical mask thingies, but I didn't want to perpetuate any Asian stereotypes amongst my caucasian neighbors. Like, here, in the States, whenever I see a fellow Asian wearing one of those masks, I always want to pull them aside and say, "Yo, yo, yo... I know that's the height of fashion where we come from, but we don't really do that here." I'll keep everyone updated as to whether it stays on, or needs constant re-application. |
