Quick question about the MPE

Hi all! This might be a stupid question but i just bought the MPE rear section with no plans of purchasing an aftermarket midpipe, would the rear section just fit right on the stock MP?

Thanks in advance.

Nope, you need the m performance midpipe to connect to the m performance exuast. You cant make it fit with the stock midpipe.

There's absolutely no way to make it work?

You can make anything work with enough cutting and welding, but no.

I think the only way to make it work is to take it to a shop that can weld some extra piping together to make it work. But seems kinda tedious and not sure how reliable that would be as well.

You need a part of the MPE midpipe to make it work with other midpipes such as the AA or similar.

You have, but you still need the Mperformance midpipe, which is then cut and then mated to the AA midpipe.

Yeah not really worth it imho. The MPE has two large mating surfaces and two smaller ball end mating surfaces. Then you need the actuators customized since they are on the midpipe and not on the muffler.
