MPE regrets after purchase?

Can anyone share their experience with MPE exhaust kit? Any regrets? Worth the money?

Well, its kinda difficult to tell.. I don't regret paying that amount for the little sound improvement I got. But I wouldn't do it agin!

I think MPE works best with MPPK, which I don't have. But still don't expect loud exhaust by any means.

No regrets and it would be one of the first mods if I got a 35i again

I regretted it, bought, and sold it. Did not keep the class of the X5 imo. Too much popping but that's where the industry and turbo engines are at these days. Just didn't sound right in an SUV, on our AMG GTS love the noise. X5 not so much.

While I don't have the MPE, I have to agree. I loved the video clips of the sound but when I saw a guy in NYC revving his X5 at the stop light and ripping it around the block a few times, it started to sound ridiculously ricey.

I would say money well spent. I got the MPPK and MPE installed before I picked up my 35i. I have only had the truck about a month and the exhaust is getting a little louder. I think it sounds pretty good. I wish the 2007 M6 I had popped and crackled like that. Today i really jumped on for the first time since I've owned it just as an M5 was going by and I think I gave him quite the surprise. He asked me what I had done at the light. Watch Kzangs YouTube videos. That's what sold me on it.
