Just received BMW PE & PPK... Damaged?

alec_jan · 07-17-2013, 10:23 PM

Hey guys, just accepted delivery of the performance exhaust and PPK1, which I'm scheduled to have installed tomorrow. Opened the box (which looked a pretty beat up courtesy of FedEx), and the exhaust looks like this... Forgive the image quality.

Can any Performance Exhaust owners tell me if this is normal/acceptable? Would like to know before I head to the dealership tomorrow. Appreciate the help!

part of BMW design of the PE, just like your stock exhaust

Phew, thanks for easing my worries. Box had a ~40 degree bend in it sitting on my front doorstep so I feared the worst!

Yep. Completely normal.

Make sure that you check the tips! The box that mine came in was all mangled and one of the tips was bent into an oval... You will love the sound of the PE!!!

Its called super German engineering. Those dam ugly dents are there for some meaningful purpose. Whether it be exhaust note or that just enough back pressure to give you that one more hp... lol
