Perfectly lowered, and the stock 18's are always a win in my books!

Ordered a MPE V2 from BMW Newton, NJ. I can't wait to install it and have a quieter pipe!

Are you gonna paint your MPE? I've been debating it but decided to leave it be when I install. Mine shipped today finally.

Well what do you think of MPE? I LOVE it. Best aural combination of induction and exhaust I've heard on the S65. I'm moving and couldn't find my socket set so ended up having Midas Ballard install mine. They did a great job and were super excited about the MPE.

I love it too! My previous exhaust sounded great but was on the louder side. I wanted something tame and refined and the MPE is perfect. I was impressed with how light it was too when I was installing it.

When you say custom, what are the specs? Fitment is perfect.
