MPE question

dunny247 · 06-04-2016, 06:43 AM

Had the MPE fitted yesterday and overall I'm pleased. Definitely looks the dogs bollocks. Sounds alot better. More burble on the over run.
My question is, and I think I already know the answer, does it get better sounding in time and how many miles does it take to break it in ?

derekh929 · 06-04-2016, 06:53 AM

Yes I have heard others say it gets better with miles , and deeper sound seen threads on M3 cutters re this, Also our JCW is the same 6500 miles on clock as sounds far better to me.
That looks fantastic more pics and video of the sound would be great

I heard the same thing from my SA since he also have MPE on his F80.

It gets better with the miles.

I'll try and do a video. Thanks for the reply.

Valve controller also makes a huge difference, I've got cg precision for mine.

Is your car wrapped Matt Black?

It's absolutely beautiful mate. Enjoy!

Yup that is one of the nicest M3/4 I have had the pleasure to see

MadZarBMR · 06-04-2016, 12:06 PM

Mine got noticeably deeper and a bit less raspy on cold starts after about 2000 miles.

Foretrees · 06-05-2016, 03:52 AM

can you advise if the tips are larger than stock ?

looks great btw

Yes they definitely are . From the side profile of the car the exhaust is very noticeable as compared to the stock exhaust. And the bore looks bigger but not by much. Maybe it's the carbon tips which are making it look wider .

Thanks, I should have just fitted the MPE when I picked up the car, looked at the Arka just now and the tips are a lot bigger, I'll get there at some point, enjoy and you car looks great BTW. Thanks John

that looks sooooo good! i'm going to have to make some enquiries again. my CP is sounding very quiet recently in all modes. my M135 was way louder and more entertaining!

Wondered how long before you started to think about exhaust...

Was thinking of you yesterday. Had one of 'those' trips where car just wasn't fast enough pulling from 60ish unless I kept dropping gears - just what we were talking about re the ACS power difference. A dollop of extra torque would be useful.

funnily enough on my way to work this morning I too was thinking about that ACS day when you and I took their beast for a burn round sandringham...

my car seems to make the engine noise over 4k revs when I floor it but no power surge. it feels very flat these days. traction is so good that it feels almost underpowered...

I swore to myself I wouldn't be heavily modding this car, but as it's my daily drive and I want it to be fun and noisy I think i'm going to have to invest (rather waste) my money on MPE and ACS power upgrade.

any news from Lorcan about the CP power kit? it looks unlikely that I can make Goodwood this year now

No idea yet on power. But the ACS CP is coming over from Germany for Goodwood and I've asked if I can drive it. I do agree that it needs more (and could happily take it).

Could well be fatal as that'll have RS suspension, power upgrade and their exhaust all wrapped up in CP package.

Wills2 · 06-08-2016, 11:04 AM

I'm so glad I'm happy with my car, as it would be very expensive otherwise.

Although I'd love to go the whole hog as it's such a good base that the MP/ACS mods will take it to another level.
