CPE/HPF Catback on N55?

I've searched and have been getting mixed answers..

Can someone please clarify whether or not the CPE or HPF catback systems fit the N55?

Or to be more general, does any N54 Catback fit the N55?

You might be mistaken. After the downpipe, the connections are all the same. The N54 catback fits the N55 because we testfitted the Berk Technology Full Street exhaust system on our car and it fits just fine. So I'm sure the HPF and CP-E will fit just fine.

Not the full exhaust though, you could fit the same axle-backs but the midpipes are slightly different no? I could be wrong, I based it on the fact that most websites where you by the exhausts don't mention the n55.

The CPE axle back fits the N55 135i and quite a nice setup for $699 including a real muffler and the drone canceling stealth pipe.

Still not sure about the CPE..

Couldn't tell you. I only carry the axle back. The catback system are way too expensive in my opinion. The axle back on the other hand gives all the performance and sound gains for half the price.

I have fitted a N54 midpipe to my N55 using stock axle-back, I had to take out the V part with a plate that connect the chassis. No big deal tho.

I am going to install the berk mufflerless alxe-back soon, and will see if the fitment be alittle different after that.
