M Performance Exhaust on M2 CS - It's possible

ScullyD · 03-01-2022, 07:42 AM

Just wanted to pick this thread back up. My dealer's parts department says the M2C MPE is registered as not compatible with the M2 CS.

Is the MPE that everyone had installed just the MPE thats on an M2C and this fact is just a technicality? Thanks!

Correct. I have the MPE on my '17 and on my CS. I can check the part # on my receipt if that helps, but I went through this with my parts dept; it's the same system; and it's awesome.

Yup. Exactly the same. Same goes for Akra. Not OEM compatible because you have to cut the stock exhaust.

Is there an option for tips other than the $1400 CF tips? I'd be fine with a polished or black set for a couple hundred.

There is a way around this with the Akra - albeit a more expensive option. I removed my OEM exhaust and OEM midpipe intact and replaced them with an Akra cat-back and a new OEM midpipe. If I ever want to part out (only if I am selling the car and that's not planned) I can part back the OEM exhaust and midpipe uncut, unused and intact.

Smart move. There are no new single piece exhaust systems for the M2CS. That part will be a unicorn one day.
