Anybody?

Has Anybody tried the ACM Mod to the MPE? (Perforated Pipe delete)???

For such an expensive exhaust, I'd say that nobody has done it.

Kind of like giving a boob job to a chick with double d's. Doesn't make any sense.

Mr. sorry, but there are always room for improvements. reason being the MPE doesn't sound nice with test pipes, high flow cats, nor x-pipe. so this might be the route.

I think the reason the MPE does not sound good with test pipes is because the mufflers don't have enough sound dampening to remove the rasp. Unlike the stock muffler, which turns back on itself a couple of times, the MPE is very straight through.

You will make that distinction worse by doing the ACM mod, which as I understand it, replaces the perforated pipes with straight pipes, further decreasing the sound dampening abilities of the exhaust.

Thus, I'd imagine the rasp-ness scale would look like this:

Most rasp .................................................. .................. Least rasp

TP+MPE w/ ACM mod > TP+Stock w/ ACM mod > TP+MPE > TP+Stock

yes mail man, i want to chop open my $3,500 inconel exhaust if i can amp up the sound.

I love rasp. Thats what all m3s sound like.

Just to be clear the ACM mod is not a perforated pipe delete. The ACM mod is a muffler bypass (essentially the same as running straight pipes) and much more aggressive than doing the perforated pipe (traditional oem mod) method.

Inconel is more challenging to weld. I don't know of anyone that has cracked one open. I think it's a mortal sin to do so.

The MPE is the same as the ACM mod. MPE is straight preforated piped with no sound insulation. It will sound almost the same.

Not worth the money. Get test pipes if you want it louder, preferably with a different muffler if you dont want rasp.

Ah, that's my mistake. Sorry for perpetuating bad information. Thanks for clarifying that!
