MPE updated version fitment
I recently installed an updated MPE (pressure relief holes added) and noticed that my tips extend about 3/4" further out compared to the original MPE's I've had. The connecting pipes are slid all the way in on mine. Anybody else notice this with their updated MPE? I find it odd for OEM fitment to be that different unless they purposely extended the updated MPE. It still looks cool and sounds nice and beefy as expected.

I have the updated 2nd generation version of the MPE, but I have an E90. The fitment is similar to your "original" MPE where the tips do not extend beyond the bumper. If I took a picture straight down like you did in your first post it would not show the ///M logos on the tips.

A side note, my connecting pipes to the muffler are all the way in, too. The only other things I can think of are to make sure your hangers are still in good condition and that the mating underneath the clamps from X-pipe to connecting pipes is straight.
