M performance Exhaust installed

Day Laborer · 09-26-2016, 10:10 PM

Just a few pics of my recently acquired LBB M2.
Purchased it at Passport BMW 9 days ago and I couldn't be happier.... until after I had a chance to buy and install the M performance exhaust.
Love the sound and details- great price from a forum member too!

Had to carefully cut the exhaust in the middle and use the supplied clamps to mate the two exhausts together - beyond that it was pretty straight forward. Super easy- 3 hangar mounts and a bolt to the downpipes, one cross bar.

Enjoy the pics! I'm assuming that this new car makes me officially an amateur car collector.

Looks great! How's the interaction with the blue tooth controls?
Also, did you end up getting xpel or any other protection film?

Cars with Raja at Speed & Tech Motoring now getting Xpel Ultimate. I'll get her back soon.

Bluetooth works well; just two clicks to switch between the two modes; open flaps mode shows the module blinking intermittently so you don't have to second guess.
I placed it in the storage area in the door for easier access

How do you like that lift? Did you have to do anything special (strengthen the concrete) to install it?

Nothing special, just made sure it was at least 4 inches thick as per standard building requirements.

I had a professional drill the holes and mount it; assembly was done by me.

Costco had it on sale for less than $2000 shipped; but since have stopped carrying it in stock.

Looks like that's still the price, http://www.maxjaxusa.com

Thanks.

Sounds good. Do you know if the film from xpel affects the color of LBB in any way?

Since the 4 exhaust tips are separate parts, how are they joined together with the exhaust?

Slips onto the pipes

Without any fixing? I suppose you can even install the exhaust without carbon or titan tips.
