I haven't really found a clear answer to this but I was wondering if a 335i mpe would fit on my 340i. I found a great deal but I dont want to be left with an exhaust that doesnt fit my car

[learntocode]

Go for it, bring it to an exhaust shop and they'll make it fit. As long as your rear bumper has the diffuser piece with cut out for each tips side (drive/passenger). They'll let you know if you could use the clamps or requires welding.

thanks for your input. any other people want to share their thought?

As learntocode mentioned, take it to a muffler shop; some fabrication will be required to make it work; I installed my mpe from the 335i n55 to my 340i b58.

and what difference did it make in the sound. louder, deeper, louder pops?

[bmw1boy]

It was about 20 % louder, as well as the pops, but not really obnoxious, the tone did not get deeper.

Do you know what fabrication/modifications had to be done? I usually install my own exhausts and have access to a lift, saw/cut off tool, and regular tools but not a torch/welder. Would I be able to do it myself without torch/welder? Is the alignment off from the MPE to the car's exhaust? Was this for an axleback or catback?

And for the valve, do you just take the actuator off the stock exhaust and reuse it and bolt it onto the valve on the MPE and the bolts light up and work?
