Because I have a can of 1000 of them, I use the cheap clearish white zip ties (one on each side) and it takes about 90 seconds per side, no jack required. Just make a loop around the actuator arm and the support bracket with the zip tie, push the actuator in and keep pressure on it while you pull the zip tie tight. The zip tie will work its way up to the hinge between the actuator arm and the flapper arm and get stuck there. The zip ties are far enough away from the heat that I've never seen them melt. Easy and worth it but I always want more noise!

Thanks for those who contributed. I found an easier solution (at least for me). I used hose clamps instead of wires to hold the flapper open. Not really visible from the outside as you can see in the pictures. Once you get the hose clap around the piece that control the valves, just tighten the screw until the valves open and you're good to go. No need for wires/cutters. Also, very easy to remove.

Good choice, that's what I did as I found it complicated to get the wire around the valve tightly.
It's a cheap and easy mod

Did this on my old F06 GC with MPE and with the current one with the Dinan exhaust (which is a tad too tame for me).this was before I trimmed the excess. [IMG][/IMG]

Won't that keep it permanently closed, not open? Need to zip tie after pulling?
