Do you actually mean customs, or do you mean exit immigration?

There will not be a customs check at MUC, unless customs have strong reasons to believe you're up to something dodgy (i.e. they've been tipped off). For 9,999 travellers out of 10,000, there will be no customs check when departing Germany.

You will however have to pass through exit immigration at MUC because you are leaving the Schengen Zone there.

At LHR you will be in direct airside transit, so you will not have to go through either immigration or customs there. Follow the signs for "Flight Connections".
