Hi,
I recently purchased a 535 and I was wondering if their is an exhaust flap mod that can be done to keep the flap open on the right tail pipe all the time. I know the 545 and 550's have them too, but I wasn't able to find much info about them.
Thanks!

Lee,
There I'd but it won't make a difference in sound because turbo exhausts are quiet.

Yeah, but one of my friends did it with his 335i, and there was a stark sound difference. I think it should be some what of a diffence, (of course not RPI status) but decent. I wanna do the same thing. Can anyone assist me?
Oh by the way, CAR COMES BACK TUESDAY!!! SO EXCITED!

HAHA! The golf tee strikes again! I believe in some areas it's known as the "miniature vampire stake" mod.
