I wonder if the USA have different ECU settings etc, to open and close the valves, because mine are definitely open all the time, after warm up.

I too have checked mine repeatedly after running the car and have yet to find them closed. The only time that they are shut is at cold start, and only for a few min and then they open. I was trying to find a way to mount my GoPro under the car by the valve to see conclusively but have not had a chance to do that...maybe this weekend.

I have wired mine open and there is defiantly more noise. Read somewhere that in sports plus the valves are open all the time?
I have decided to order the Eisenmann Race version and should get it fitted sometime in June..... |

Just did this mod, with wire. If anyone cares, there is not much difference. Even me living in the cole de sac community of garages, it didn't make much of a sound and after like 30 sec it quieted down all together. On a cold start mind you.
What i did... I disconnected the vacuum line and tied down the valve with aluminum wire as per instructions. I hear something here and there but not much. |

If you unplug the vacuum line and leave it "open" you will notice a significant change in performance/driveability

I have wired my LCI M5 exhaust Valves Open before I pick it up on Sunday, also fitted the CYBA Black chrome Tips. Looks and sounds great.

Hello,
just to inform you and if you do not know that solution (I already mentioned it in my other thread but thought, you already know this product): I have installed the insideperformance M5 flap-control-unit. It is a small piece of elecrtonic with only two wires - installation in the trunk took me only about 30 minutes. Just like pug and play.. with this unit, you have FULL control over the exhaust flaps. You can open and close them at ANY time with the stock M1 button.. independant of which exhaust system you have installed. It works perfect with my BMW performance muffler. The unit links the flaps to the M1 button on the steeringwheel. So at anytime I aktivate M1, flaps are off.. independant of what my M1 settings are -e ven if I put all settings on "economic" it works.. http://www.insideperformance.de/onli...37/language/en In my opinion a much better solution than blocking the flaps from working with a zip / wire. My wife would kill me if I was not able to go out of the garage with closed flaps early in the morning (but some days I do - anyway *hehe*) greetings from Spain |
