I've never seen under $3200 new either. I suspect cost is around $3000.

Sounds better and better everyday. I'm waiting to mount my wheels and get a full detail before I make a thread. It'll go over everything I've done so far so that's why it's taking me so long to write!

With MPE -- cracks ?
Greetings,
I have seen this often posted about MPE having cracks appear - if I purchased from the dealer, had the dealer install the unit, if cracks did start to appear, would they not just take care of it under warranty ? And install new one of do what ever is required ? - I mean you pay a premium at the dealer for OEM parts, but then if you have issues - this is what's built into the higher paid price...yes ? I looked at Gitani, Akra - both of which I think are awesome and love the sound of both, but I need the security of warranty so went with MPE. It is not installed yet, not even shipped yet to dealer, but when I do get it on... I will for sure post video and write up...if people think this would be the good - Cheers, The Merlin ps - kinda went a little crazy with the smiley thingies in this post, sorry

I see you are also in MN - bummer yours would not work for me. Did you buy it at a dealer locally?

Look Merlin i'm agreed with the warranty fact,it's 2 years on the MPE ! Imagine after 2 years.... And the MPE starts to crack ? But not only the outside wall of the exhaust cracks,but also inside on the weldings of the pipes and causing strange noises , vibration noises ! Knowing that the material of the MPE is Inconel and very thin for weight saving,but almost impossible to repair ! And yes like you said, i saw it often too and posted on here ! I saw in person 4-5 times the MPE and i realy love the design with the 4 ///M lasered logo's on the exhaust tips ,but not the sound of it, and it's not cheap and having all these problems,no thank you ! I would say.... Merlin good luck man and i realy hope your's "is" and "stay's" without cracks !

Exhaust
I bought it from Alekshop off the forum. I think he had 25 miles on it. He pulled it off his lime rock project car that he's featured on this site. I put a few thousand on it then pulled it off. She's pretty new.

The fear of cracks is starting to affect whether I want to buy the MPE especially if BMW decided to use a different material for the f8x so maybe there are a bunch of warranty related MPE replacements which would be very costly for BMW hence the switch for the next gen.

Inconel is not cheap. $7,500 for comparable Eisenmann inconcel cat-back exhaust. Seems more likely that is cheaper to outscource & change materials.
