After. All lined up perfectly.

So, in conclusion, the F30 MPE does in fact fit all the hangers and cut point. The only thing is the passenger side tip sticks out about a quarter of an inch compared to the driver side.

All in all, I think it was worth it. $650 shipped with tips. $75 install + tip relocation.

Pops and gurgles are a lot more noticeable now. I have catless downpipe, res delete, and the valve unplugged paired with the MPE.

I wish it were louder but I heard you got to give it some miles (1k?) to fully break-in the exhaust.

Did you get it new for $650 shipped? If so can you say where that's a good price

Got it from eBay from a private seller. He wanted $750 shipped but I offered $650 and he took it.

Pro's/con's to this over the M235 MPE? Seems like extra work for a little less money unless there is a proven advantage performance/sound wise. if it is a wash then why go thru the extra hassle....

this knowledge does open up the options for f30 aftermarket to use on f22s atleast from a axelback standpoint! But MPE might just be cheaper especially since there are more f30 used ones

Find me a new F22 MPE for $650 shipped with chrome tips.

What's the "extra work".. Took the shop less than 30 minutes to complete everything.
