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!

some think the "golf_tee" mod is another free mod, like the charcoal filter removal....
