Looks great!! Can you post a few more. I have a Dravit and am about 90% sold on this exhaust. How do you like it so far?

[BayM340i]

Finally got my exhaust on to my Dravit Grey M340! Haven't done too many miles just yet but my first impression is great.

I do have a VRSF catless downpipe as well, so keep that in mind.

The biggest thing to me was the difference between sport and comfort. In comfort it has nearly a similar loudness to stock, just a deeper tone, which is great. In sport mode it's much louder than stock. I do currently have some burbles coded in that will definitely need to be removed as soon as I hear back from Alex at Mission. The burbles are just obnoxious with the valves open. The volume and tone are great in sport though.

I had my friend's shop do the install while I had some other maintenance done. He said they put a quite a bit of effort in to get the tips in to this point and didn't want to push it much more. I'd like to see them pushed in a bit more, or a diffuser might help the look. They do come out quite a bit.

I'll be shooting a bunch more photos and high quality video soon. If there's anything specific anyone wants to see or hear, let me know.

I assume those photos are with the exhaust system fully hot (and as a result fully grown/expanded)? That looks about where I would expect them in that scenario which is similar to our base photos in the OP when everything was hot. When cold it would be sucked in about 3/4" to an inch (this system grows quite a bit).

This was actually taken this morning after the car has been sitting all night. I'll have to take another look and see if we can get them pushed in anymore.

Your shop isn't that good tbh, I was able to get them an inch further In with wd40 and a shoe (to help apply uniform pressure) See my newest picture with the ikon diffuser

Pm me and I can walk you through it

Should be able to get them in further. The tips can be tight sliding over the pipe but typically a little grease helps that (like noted below).

Simple but effective tools for the win. lol

The tips from Barry B's post look to be way more pushed in. Think they look much better once they sit more flush.

Considering getting the polished tips for my PB M340. Haven't seen any photos from forum members with the polished tips yet tho. Have black rims but still think the polished would give it a nice clean look maybe

You may just have to bite the bullet and try it sight unseen. =)

Have only sold 1 polished tip thus far. 5 years ago it was usually a 4 to 1 ratio of black to polished. The last year or 2 its closer to a 10 to 1 ratio. With this particualr exhausts its even much worse than that.

Interesting to know! I liked the polished MPE tips I had on my F30 a lot. I think I might just go the polished route and see what I think!

Suppose I could always swap them out down the road if I decide black would look better anyways.

Please do! I really want to see how the polished tips look. I feel as though it provides a nice contrast to a black diffuser and makes the tips more noticeable!

Me trying to look at these pictures lol..



You should do a rev video at night. It looks like you might be spitting flames out that bad boy! Also definitely try and push those in another 1/2 inch- 1 inch. Would be perfect. Just a little too far out imo. Appreciate the pictures!

I think I’m the 1 who got the polished tips. Had it installed a week ago. I’ll take some picks over the weekend and post.

Just got mine done a few hours ago and wow it sounds way better in person than on the YouTube videos.... I did a cold start and i got kind of startled.. wasn’t expecting it to be so deep and loud! So many cracks and pops in sport plus

Thanks, I agree. Pushed in looks GREAT.
Love the Dravit too but the tips need to go in.....
- can't imagine more burbles coded - would be too much in sport . Carbahn tune with this exhaust brings the beast out....

The tips sticking out that far are more attention seeking than my ex girlfriend on Instagram

LOL!

[skw]

Am I in the minority that would like the tips w/ the DINAN right at the edge of the diffuser? Seems like most are asking for the lettering to be unseen.
