    Great video very helpfull indeed, also appreciate the thouroughness of the install. I will install an MPE tomorrow on my 340i Touring, hence im here. Two additions to your video: to stop the rattle on the std. back box you just have to change out the spring clip, they loose tention over time which causes the rattle I've had the same on my previous car 435i it's well documented on these they do not only rattle when they are broken, vut also when tentionnis not enough. If you want to cut your exhaust its easier using a chain tubing cutter (pliers) insread of an agle grinder, as that will be always exactly straight without rough edges.

    • @automotivetales
      @automotivetales 12 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Interestingly I upgraded to a chain tubing cutter for doing a Skoda VRS, but I struggled a little so ended up nipping the last bit with a grinder anyway 🤣 it did make a much nearer cut though. Just clearing my shop and realised I still have the stock box for that 140i. Sadly the 140i was written off by the new owner 😭

    Honestly the only places my 944s have rust are in the battery trays. The whole rest of the cars are nice and clean. I have a 1983 NA and 1986 NA. The 86 has rust and the 83 may not..? I need to dig into that. Where did you find these spots??

      It’s the result of daily driven on UK roads where they salt the roads in winter 😭

      @@automotivetales Ah that makes sense. They salt the roads here in the US as well. I really am not a fan of how much they dump down. Many of our cars have been ruined because of it. The Acuras seems to hold up alright however if you’re careful.

    Had a Picasso for 17 years, best car i have ever had. Only thing that killed it was the dreaded rust behind the front wheels including the sills. They all go like that.

    I may or may not have burnt the rings on the pistons and now the car is eating oil, sounds like a tractor and the chain is loose because of the skoda system. So it rattles. Just a bit.
