Looks much better now. Very happy with the adjustment! Overall, it looks like it was raised 1/2 an inch to 3/4 of an inch. I'll post up some pics later.

Interesting. I haven't examined it that closely. Do you think that this is an adequate, sturdy solution?

Haha I would! Doesn't it look so much better?
Those aren't the greatest pics I took but I compared the gap (using the old finger width test) between between the rear diffuser and exhaust tips on my car (post-adjustment) to an F30 with the OEM system and it's now virtually identical.

I got mine installed this week. Its a little louder when you stand behind the car but it sounds almost identical compare to stock inside of my car IMO.
I only managed to put 30km on it and I hope it gets a bit louder after more driving.

i have with mine now over 2000km and it's still not so loud.
the old performance exhaust it's much louder. the m performance now it's not much louder than the stock exhaust for me it's not the best thing.

Ive been saying this the whole time. The fit is not very oem for an oem poduct... Sticks out too far and hangs too low and I keep getting crapped on for bringing it up (naturally mostly from those who own it). Im glad someone noticed that and did some adjustments...looks 10x better!
Now the sound...for me, only marginally better. Let's get some downpipes released on these so they can really sing!

Upon closer inspection (which actually involved looking at the exhaust from distance), the system simply did hang too low. I couldn't be happier with the fitment now. Looks better than OEM from every angle. I also much prefer the larger diameter, hard chromed, thin tips over the thicker, brushed chrome OEM tips.

Dealers dont care. They slice, they clamp, and you pay $1370 installed and off you go. Just a number to them.

what's the point of have the M// on the tips if you can't see it, lol?
tell the dealer, like I did, you want it sticking out just enough to notice it...

Please let me know if you are certain they added to your residual cost as well - that'd be great. |

What did you do exactly. My tips hang low and besides the fact that I noticed annoyed of everyone else who sees the car also asking. They used rubber hangars that look like they are stretched a little bit.

I took it back to the dealer and complained...in essence, you need to loosen the clamp, and realign (if you did it yourself)...

Thinking about getting this...any recent opinions on the sound? A few have said it barely sounds different. I had the PPK installed as well. My question is....do they have to do any extra coding (perhaps due to both flaps opening on start-up or something)....or no? I hope they DON'T have to recode anything. Also, what are the thoughts on the longevity of this system vs original factory system? Is the rubber clamp going to be a premature wear item?

Back in the day we "tightened" the exhaust clamps with a hose clamp. I wonder if this would work here. I installed mine tonight and it definitely needs to be raised an inch or so.
