Midpipe + MPE

Hello !

I'm looking to install a midpipe which fit directly MPE backbox.

Which one do you recomend me ?
- Dinan, heard there is a lot of drone
- BCS, with it's new "anti-drone" systeme it looks not so bad ?

Do you have others brands which can fits the MPE ? I'm interested to install a Remus pipe, but don't know if it's possible.

Thanks

Are you set on the MPE? REMUS full catback sounds better than any of the combinations you mentioned (my opinion)

Yes MPE in installed yet, I bought it 2 months ago (at a relly good price, 900$ with chrome tips and installation)... actually I thought to install a remus catback at the beginning, I was afraid it will be too loud..What a mistake

I think there is some retro fitting needed for the Dinan to fit the MPE, though nothing difficult. I think. That said, the Dinan midpipe has no drone.

I have the m performance with dinan midpipe and absolutely love it! also, I don't notice any drone at all. it's by far the best mod I've done to the car and it puts a smile on my face every day! however one of my neighbors doesn't appreciate it as much especially when I start it up at 7 a.m every morning to leave for work as the cold start is pretty loud!

How did you connect it to the muffler? just bought a bigger clamp or weld it, or? Trying to do my research as it sounds like this is exactly what i want to do.

I actually just had the dealer do it so not sure how they did it exactly.

I bought the Dinan midpipe. Going to put it on this Saturday morning. I ended up buying a bunch of SS couplings from a local auto store going to try and do it with clamps instead of welding to the MPE. We'll see what works though.


I'll do a before/after video as well as document the process for anyone trying to replicate this.

Got it on... as i thought the midpipe is pretty much the same size as the MPE pipe. Just took a little elbow grease to really get it in there and a lot of hits with a rubber mallet.

It. sounds. amazing. Its like the MPE on steroids.
