I am sure someone in China can help you. I will not. Buy the MPE if you want the logo otherwise leave it blank.

35mm wide by 10mm high. I put a transparent plastic bag over it and marked the corners (since the emblem is curved), then on a flat surface took the measurements.

By the way, the width I measured at the bottom (widest part of the emblem), and the height I measured on the right hand side of the emblem (the last leg of the letter M since it provides a straight vertical edge). Just make sure everything else remains proportionate.

You're welcome! Let me know how it goes. I'm slapping my exhaust on this weekend. While the exhaust is off you may want to do the perforated pipes mod (it will make it sound close to the M performance exhaust) - I was going to do this but then the opportunity to buy an M performance exhaust presented itself.

By the way, I should have checked while I was home for lunch, but I believe the M tips are larger in diameter, so I'm curious as to how the engraving will look on the smaller tips? I'm assuming you're not going to scale them down? The easy way to do it would be to calculate the sticker dimension to tip diameter ratio, and scale down the sticker accordingly for the regular exhaust tips.

exhaust mod will be great
but i'm running test pipe
and everyone here told me that combo will rasp
and i hate that raspiness
so i thought i leave it until i find good deal on akra or mpe

about the tips
i made now blank paper cuted to the size 10X35
and tape it to the tip
it looks a bit small to me but idk
i think i will do some test before engrave on it and than will see

Small? Those are the measurements right off one of the tips of my MPE. The logo isn't as big as most people envision, it's rather small compared to the tips...I guess once engraved, since they curve, they may look better, as you would expect. I actually thought they would look slightly big on what I think are smaller tips, but I could be wrong and they may be the same size.
