Anyone in Socal had m performance exhaust installed at a dealer?

aksi · 07-02-2014, 12:04 AM

Hi guys.
Currently looking for a dealer who offer good price on m performance installations. Anyone here had good experience with a dealer(which?)?
M performance exhaust is first and planning to do more in the future, so I want to find a dealer who will be willing to give me good deals on installation.
thank you in advance.

Usually taking it to local shop and having them order/install performance exhaust will be cheaper than getting it done at dealer.

I think BMW of Monrovia was supposed to be pretty good. The guy above is right though it will be most likely cheaper at a local shop

Take it to StrasseSport in Covina. Ivan can install it for you. It would be way cheaper than taking it to a dealership.

Modbargins can do the install at a very reasonable price. They installed mine and I couldn't be happier.

I thought the m performance exhaust was a bolt on? Or did they need to cut some piping?

Bluesmansr · 07-03-2014, 02:55 PM

The MPE requires the stock piping to be cut. BMW puts a dimple at the precise spot to cut to add the new muffler.

I work at BMW of El Cajon (San Diego) and we could do the install if you want.

aksi · 07-04-2014, 01:48 PM

Thank you guys, I will be looking at different options here. Really appreciate the replies.

I am from LA area. SD is too far

Thank you though!!

Heck, go to autozone and rent the cutter for $20. Bring it to my house in Granada Hills and I'll do you a solid and put it on for free. It's a 30 minute job. Don't pay a shop to do it. It's a real easy DIY.

SergioK · 07-06-2014, 03:52 PM

I used my angle grinder. Took all of 3 minutes to make the cut.

aksi · 07-08-2014, 12:40 AM

I am glad I made this thread!!!!! Thanks everyone!

Hey dude! Can you get me a good deal on BMW performance power kit?

S1LV3RSAMURA1 · 10-03-2014, 01:24 AM

I may interested in an MPE kit for a 328i myself. I'm actually curious to know if you could separate the exhaust tips so that they mimic the dual exhaust of a 335. Has anyone done this before?

You have to buy the 335 MPE and modify the rear bumper valence to make it fit.

I was thinking of just using a new rear diffusor with dual exhuast. Is there another part I would need that goes under the car?
Thanks

I have no idea, I've only heard of people doing this modification, have not seen it done in person.
