Pics of MPE

My F30 with the MPE should be here in a week or two. I've seen photos of the car with it. Some look like its sticking out way too far from the car and looks awful. Others look fine. Any pictures would be appreciated if you have the MPE. Had anyone put on the carbon fiber tips too?

Thanks. How hard is it to add the CF tips?

You know I thought about Eisenmanns too before I installed the Dinan exhaust.
Far too many 3 and 4 series owners were questioning the MPE sound. Now I see that you have the MPE and are switching to something else already.
To me if you can't hear a distinct improvement from stock, why even bother spending the money?
The debate over which model, 340 or 339 just proved how marginal of a difference the exhaust note was.
What do you like about the Eisenmanns?
I thought the akrapovic were a bit loud for an older guy like me.

No, sorry, but I'm the responsible of the debate 339vs340 and the difference between the two is not marginal at all!
Said that, 340 is not enough for those (like me) used to the old E90/92 Performance Exhaust and the Eisenmann is louder than 340, doubtless!
Eisenmann is cheaper than Akra, but the latter I think has got a nicer exhaust note.

Don't forget the Eisenmann's, for the most part, do not have the valve in the left side pipe.

Nice. Yours looks good. I've seen ones where they stick out way too far from the car. Must have been a poor install.
