I have a 2015 F33 with MPPK and MPE with about 2400 miles on it now. The last couple of days I have noticed when coming up at highway speeds ( 55 mph) to a stop sign and braking hard (throttle closed) to a stop, that I get the normal rumbles as it downshifts, but the last one or two downshifts as I stop, I get a series of actual crackling sounds like a mild series of back fires. I like the rumbles, but not the back fires, doesn't sound right coming from a sophisticated, expensive car.... Anybody else getting this ?? I know some of the rumbles are actually coming from the sound system, but with the top down, I am pretty sure the cracking sound is coming from the actual exhaust itself.

Yeah, I get this and love it. Haha....the MPPK causes the snaps and crackles....and the MPE accentuates it.

you'll get used to it soon

[Dosturbos]

Embrace it, or you could always buy a Lexus, if you want more manners in your non-sporty sports car.

Sell me the MPE, problem solved.

Or, use Eco Pro .....

[fscuderia23]

I get this too! love it most of the time but sometimes its.. kind of a bit much. Easy solution is to use normal or eco pro… otherwise Ive noticed with mine it happens when i shift down to around 2k rpm it does the backfire so if i want to avoid it i shift down earlier. oddly enough higher revs seems to produce the burble and lower revs the backfire…
just my observations anyways… not sure if im right or not

not sure if this should be a complaint or a compliment.....lol

snap....crackle....POP!

[46reg93]

I got this option (MPE) to get a more aggressive sound and some "burble" on downshifts. I read many descriptions of what to expect, but don't recall ever having anyone mention actual back fires.....not sure I would have got it if I would have known. Just information for anyone out there considering getting this option on what to expect.

[F32Fleet]

You should hear it from outside the car...its great!

[Damon44]

I personally enjoy the attention. It definitely backfires while slowing down. Drives the wife crazy.

[DR_G]

It is also noticeably more aggressive when driving in manual mode (8AT) and shifting down from ~2k rpm when slowing down. Quite a loud 'crack'.

If it gets tiresome just knock it into comfort, only get minor pops and crackles then :-D

There is definitely something wrong with your MPE, you should trade it in for a MES (MEISTERSCHAFT EXHAUST SYSTEMS) .

The problem is the inside sound (very low, for my car without ASD), not the outside sound that is pretty good with MPPK+MPE.
But I think you aren't used to true sport exhaust sound, that are much louder
