Exhaust Mod?

addicted2bimmers · 05-16-2015, 11:09 AM

Can you do this to an x5?

pdawg · 05-16-2015, 01:18 PM

I nominate you to crawl under the car and see if that module is there

Kzang · 05-16-2015, 01:25 PM

Actually, I believe this mod was done by another member here.. or was it on Bimmerfest.

pdawg · 05-16-2015, 01:26 PM

Doesn't it sounds raspier on startup, when its closed?

Ben's removed the flap all-together. Reports a tiny bit of a loss on the low end IIRC. It's a simple mod as you can easily see/access the flap since we have so much ground clearance.
Search for the "Uneven Exhaust" thread or something like that where someone was asking about why smoke only comes out of the driver's side pipe in the morning.

Actually it opens up at startup then closes but I love that rumble during startup especially cold starts

This mod leaves it open at all times for MOAR LOUD lol... If it's possible I didn't check yet

I have this done on my F16. Will post pics tonight. I honestly don't feel any loss of low-end power. Oh and it sounds fantastic.

What model do you have 35i or 50i? Can't you do it on both? Thanks pics would really help

I have a 35i. I think the 50i has both sides open by default.

has any body done this mod yet? if yes what are the results? how does it sound? did you just tape off the connector and leave it hanging?

stewy604 · 06-08-2015, 09:42 AM

Ah yes, similar to the all too popular "Golf Tee Mod" on the older design. I did this on my girlfriend's E82...car had been home for 10 mins before I did it.

I've got a 35d, so I can't help you here (we dont have the exhaust flapper). Crawl under your vehicle, should be easy to spot.
