Your car sounded good pulling away. I need to hear my car from the outside. I have no idea how it sounds. It sounds good inside though.

Hi guys, I have driven the car more than a week with this mod.
The sound is really good at low RPM, cold start and down shift. But, I went to a country side road where I go everytime when I wanna have fun, and I felt the car a bit different. I felt some turbo lag and the turbo's whistling was louder. Then, I plugged my VBOX and I did some 0-100km/h runs: 4,6 sec ~ 4,7 sec without LC. 4,4 with LC. Then I stopped somewhere and plugged back the connectors. I did another set of runs, same road of course and the result is clear: 4,4 without LC and 4,1 with LC. Does anyone know if its normal? |

This mod id awesome. Did it about 5 days ago and have enjoyed every bit of it. Goinmg through the Lincoln tunnel, it sounded ridiculous and backfired like crazy when letting off the throttle. Ill be getting downpipes this week, very excited to see how the exhuast mod sounds without cats

For instance today I felt more power in high gear at low RPM than last week when I had the connectors unplugged. |

Having said that, I haven't noticed any change in performance or lag with my car since I disconnected the valves. I'll have to pay attention to this to see if I can feel any sort of difference.

It would be nice if someone could data log boost over time and then do some roll ons from 2k, 3k, 4k rpm. It was my understanding that when you went 100% throttle the exhaust valves open up instantly anyways?

Have y'all tried pushing down the tab at the top of the connector closest to the wiring and then pulling a bit from the wiring (I know that is usually not advised but I found it to help a little as long as you are careful).

Did the Mod a week ago- sounds better to my ears. much louder on cold start but much better in my opinion. Cant really see a problem in the drone- only 60-70 anyway and not bad.
Cant see any difference in performance at high revs, at low revs does it matter? The question is- why did BMW make it so easy to do when they could have easily sorted this? |
