MPE Exhaust Rattle Rec

e92wolfe · 02-17-2019, 10:10 AM

Anyone live in SoCal and know where I can go to fix this exhaust rattle? Bought my MPE off a forum member so I think dealer is out of the question. Any shops that have experience that can fix this?

I'd say 85% of the rattles from this exhaust are from wrong installation.
You shouldn't really be able to see the M on the exhaust tips. You really gotta shove that whole thing hard into the car.

I would think you can go to the dealer. Worst case scenario is you have to pay them to fix it, which is what you would do going elsewhere anyway. Best case scenario is they think it was installed by BMW and cover it under warranty.

Thanks, I guess I'll go in on my 10k service and do it then.

just tack weld the clamp to the pipe and that will solve the issue, it did with my MPE (1st version of the MPE)

I disagree. Mine was installed by BMW at the port and I had the rattle repeatedly after tightening until I had a v-band installed.
