Im guessing that the MPE will be very similar; I don't want an obnoxious sound - just something a little more aggressive/less "stock" sounding.
I will admit, one of the reasons I'd like to get this exhaust, is to have something to distract my ear from the engine sound of the F30. I know a lot of people will say I'm making a bigger deal out of the engine "clatter/ticking" than I should. It just really bothers me. When I got the car, I thought I'd get over it quickly. After having the car for almost 5 months . . . it still makes me cringe when I hear the engine.
Can anyone with the MPE chime in on my hope that it will help distract my ear from the engine? Is my theory a pipe-dream?
I have to add . . . the engine sound of the loaner ['16 328i] sounds MUCH better than my car. Also, the auto-start/stop is MUCH less noticeable than on my '13. (Sigh)
Any feedback would be really appreciated.
My dealership just seems to be asking a little too much for the MPE. $1200 + $395 (install) + tax.

1200 for the exhaust is crazy too... you should be able to get it for around $800, then take it to an indy....
