Fshubert....if I have the MPE installed on my 335i at the dealer, will it require them to recode anything? Or is it simply saw off the old, clamp on the new? It seems all of the talk about the actuator wiring (which is attached to the stock exhaust) would throw a code when they unattach from the old exhaust and reattach to the new. I only ask because I don't want BMW messing with any codes on my car for the time being. I just had the PPK installed and don't want the headache of them "accidentally" erasing it.
