M-perf exhaust

M2wolf · 11-17-2016, 01:57 PM

I'm tempted to go for the Mpe, but have read on some reviews in Sports mode it doesn't sound burble and pop as well as the stock exhaust.

Would love to hear some feedback.. as I've not heard the Mpe in action as of yet!

Thanks

Do it! I have it and it was the best decision ever on the car!
You won't regret.

Can you comment as to whether it sounds better than stock ? without activating the track mode on the bluetooth remote?

Better than stock. No question.
In TRACK mode, it is pure music.

Note: stock exhaust on M2 sounds good (ie better than M3/4 stock, but MPE is way better). MPE M2 vs MPE M3/4 would be very similar.

Perfect system. A little overpriced. Yes. But second best decision I've made after the Ohlins coilover system. Absolutely LOVE the sound and that it doesn't sound ridiculous. Just sounds more like the stock exhaust turned up! But also no drone when you don't want it. Great system for sure!

Get a downpipe better bang for your money IMO

I have M Performance exhaust, and when it's working, it sounds great.

That being said, sometimes the valves close for no reason and I have to keep opening them. Took it to the dealership and they said "we couldn't get it to close like you're describing" so no luck fixing it. It really sucks. Why couldn't they go with a hard wired switch? Ugh.

What sucks is that it feels like the times I'm commuting it stays open just fine, but the few times I went on a spirited cruise with a local car group, the valves kept closing. Sometimes even seconds after opening them.

If this keeps happening, I'll see what the dealership can do because this isn't what I paid for. (and considering the ridiculous price for no performance gain or weight loss, it's ridiculous)

its a personal opinion, what might sound good to me might not sound good to you.
I personally think there are better options aftermarket

///M² · 11-19-2016, 11:13 PM

M Performance Exhaust all the way! Well worth every penny. Also under warranty.

Corinne · 11-20-2016, 02:02 AM

If the "valves open" position equates to a straight through exhaust (I'd like confirmation on this), then would it be correct to think that, for those who want noise ALL the time, one might as well buy a straight-through exhaust with no muffler, no complicated switches, much lighter and half the price ? Or am I missing something ?

Any suggestions within that price range ?

YUP! i was about to go with the MPE and decided to go with a Fabspeed SportCat DP instead...best move ever! Just the right amount of sound and burble increase, no drone, and more power and at a third of the price. The throttle just feels lighter as well. The stock exhaust is amazing IMO. Replace the restriction and you'll be happier. DP>exhaust.

Khalifa · 11-20-2016, 04:37 PM

If you have no problem to pay 6K $ then go for Akrapovic system, it's lighter, quality and better in the performance.

Good luck.

Do you need to code out any errors or is it a straight swap with no errors displayed? Thanks.

Any options for the UK?

You're right about the exhaust "sport" mode (the quiet mode). But anyway if you get the MPE you will always set it in "Track" mode and in this mode it pop and burble like hell...

I have it on my M2 and I love it ! (in Track mode all the time). The exhaust "Sport" mode is useless as it does not pop and burble even if the car is in Sport or Sport + mode. It is "Track" mode all the way with the MPE !
