MPPSK Exhaust drooping

just posted on my build thread but thought I'd ask hear. See link below and go to post #36. Basically noticed that the right side exhaust outlet was sitting 2 inches lower than the left after 2 weeks of ownership. Got under there and found a nut had come loose where the hanger attaches to the body. The nut was halfway off and easily screwed in or out by hand. I tightened it back up and checked the other side which was tight. This is a port installed accessory - wondering whether anyone else has experienced this?

Link didn't post. Should be covered. I drove a 340i xdrive earlier today with the mppsk at the ultimate driving event. Got a chance to race a couple e90s with aftermarket exhaust, it definitely held its own! Pretty sweet for a factory mod.

dont get me wrong - I love the MPPSK. SOunds great and the tune is nice. But it seems to me the thing shouldnt start falling off the car. Ever! - let alone after 2 weeks. Hey if thats the only gremlin I experience then fine. But still it did surprise me

heres a pic of the right side drooping

Obviously its just the install tech forgot to fully tighten the bolt.
This happens a lot once u start modding even if its port installed or dealer etc.

Even factory makes mistakes thats how some cars are total lemons.

I don't think ordering an option that the manufacturer chooses to install at the port can be considered "modding." Still it is human error no doubt. Whatever you call it I'm not thrilled that it happened.

The dealer screwed up my oil change, good thing it didn't blow up my motor and got fixed in time.

I'm curious as to whether the sport displays show the higher HP and torque after getting this installed? With aftermarket mods it still shows 320 HP and 330 torque but wonder if BMW recalibrates these displays after the MPPSK. (I think it's 359 HP and 369 Torque?)

I had a similar issue with my mppsk exhaust not being installed correctly from Port. My dealer inspected the car, found the issue and fixed it just before I picked up the car. It should be an easy fix but still sucks that they didn't do it right the first time.
