M2C MPE installed

Want the car to be a subtle little sports car that why exhaust brands like Fi Exhaust or Akrapovic wasn't chosen for this upgrade. I do notice the sound of those exhaust brands will be much louder but it won't match with the car's style since not much other exterior modification will be done onto the car.
Genuine M Performance Titanium muffler with Carbon tips was installed at last.
Installation took only around 4 hours to be done, no modification needed to be done reli on the car and mounting points, you only need to be accurate for where you cut the stock pipes. Sound after the upgrade was low and it does add more crackles and pops comparing to the stock muffler.
Carbon tips matches perfectly with the carbon fibre rear diffuser as well.
Here is how the car looks now.

If you installed the OEM M2 MPE: the sound is rather 'civil' with the valves closed, but 'savage' with the valves opened.

Inside a narrow tunnel with MPE valves opened, it's the full orchestra at play. All those behind you get the full aural experience of that 'beast mode' - by no means 'low sound'.

Looks awesome! Would love to hear some sound clips...
Especially acceleration, not just revving

People have actually done this? Installing the OG M2 MPE system on an M2 competition? Wouldn't fitment be an issue?

Yea, mount points are the same, just need to replace the midpipe or if youre bringing the full system just weld a Y split for the dual downpipes vs 1 with the N55.

Technically any N55 exhaust could be adapted for use with the S55 comp. There was a few issues early on with the valve controllers being a different model, but that can be solved with an aftermarket valve controller or just using the stock ones on the S55 ( if you encounter an issue).
