A better way to secure the mod - is to tape the male socket with enough to place it back into the female socket slightly, and then tape the entire housing. Black electrical/duct tape is perfect.
Pretty sure there are no negatives. Deosnt void warranty either cuz its easily removable and manufacture deosnt care. This will only make the car sound better. The valve opens in sport mode(basically a flap to make it louder) with this it will stay fully open. From the manufacturer the valves open more in sport but close slightly at lower rpms and this just keeps it open
Just did it on 19 330i, which has nice stock burbles, and it sounds so much nicer. I don’t know why the valves close when in drive, as I noticed that they open in sport mode when in park, neutral, or reverse, but close as soon as I put the car into drive. I would assume that it would be better for them to stay open, as the car is able to exhaust easier as it has both the left and right pipes to let the gasses out of now. If you’re debating on doing it, I’d say why not, you can always reconnect she harness.
If youre in europe, this will throw an engine light. We have PPFs (petrol particulate filters) here and to do a regen the valve needs to be closed. USA is all good as you dont have PPFs.
No real issues, they are closed to warm up the engine faster, but take a look at the E92 M3 Exhaust, no valves at all. One pipe is open at all times anyways all this does is add more sound.
@@MrSilk07the valves constantly close and open depending on speed and rpm’s. So even if it does open in sport while starting as soon as you start to reach road speeds valve may close fully or partially depending on a lot of factors.
At least in my M340i in Sport plus: In idle, the flaps are open, as soon as you start driving, the flaps close and stay closed until 80 km/h. They only open up under load in the higher RPMs when everything is stock.
Yeah, i did it in the 340i. Kept in sport plus, disconnected clip, then inverted the clip and pushed it back in (more secure this way imo) valve stays open
Leave the electrics alone, just remove the spring clip between the actuator and the valve, the valve will still operate but it won't move the valve. You will have to wire the flap open. No fault codes with this method.
Do you really think this primitive tape will protect the plug from moisture ??? Secondly, what will happen to the unprotected pins in the black box, mounted to the exhaust when they become wet ???
Any one knows the part number from the connector ? The one that you are covering ? I need to replace it , coz the connectors got bad , seal is brokent... :((

Very Cool! Do you know if there is a way to code in the pops/burbles in the EU 330i? They dont come with pops cuz of regulations, so what to do? Keep up the good work man :)
Steven Shilish have you found a way to get the pops and burbles back? I’ve driven an EU 330i test car who did have the pops, but my own EU 330i unfortunately doesn’t have those ...
The purpose is to have a louder and deeper exhaust at all times compared to only having that loud exhaust smoke went in sport mode. So now his exhaust is loud in comfort, Eco, sport. Hope that explains.
It makes the car backfire? How does an exhaust valve opening cause excess fuel to be burnt in the exhaust...... it makes no sense. I’m pretty sure it’s just reverberation from ignition retardation above certain revs like most modern sports cars.
Stupid question, but do you only need to do this for one side? I'm about to try this tomorrow on my M Sport. Just coded in sport plus today which was a nice addition as well! Thanks!
joe morgan man... it said my adapter was not supported for the body domain controller, I have the V Gate WiFi. Which one did you use that supported this controller?
Will Raven the car is calibrated differently don’t there’s no burbles and the valve is closed for much longer at lower RPM to reduce noise whilst driving in cities. I bet with a remap this could be fixed or just physically disconnecting the valve from the solenoid in the exhaust.
londonas2 The valves in my 330e are half open now and connector is unplugged. Was like that when I bought it at BMW!!!!🤷🏼♂️ Going to try get valve completely open snd then unplug

Sound is still not amazing with a 45 degree open valve but I don’t know how it sounds with connector plugged in

have you noticed any issues with the car since doing it?
just remove the connection rod and put it back upside down with tention so the engine part moves freely and the valve is locked in open position
By plugging the male plug back upside down into female connector, will it get short circuit?

gfusion that’s really good to know. Thanks! Is that why some EU models don’t pop or sound the same?
No i had 3 german G20. none of them had check engine light after mod.

You can also start on Sport mode and avoid all that. If you leave like that, protect the contacts on the valve as well!
fegari g sport doesn’t stay open when in idle and drive, this sounds the best overall. I might go back to normal though, we’ll see.

Leave the electrics alone, just remove the spring clip between the actuator and the valve, the valve will still operate but it won't move the valve.
You will have to wire the flap open.
No fault codes with this method.
Do you really think this primitive tape will protect the plug from moisture ???
Secondly, what will happen to the unprotected pins in the black box, mounted to the exhaust when they become wet ???
Peter Hrd corrosion most likely, but I’m just protecting what’s connected to the cars electronics. The valve pins are now not connected to anything.
Does the car has to be on or off ?
Unplugging that valve barley did anything and it also didn’t sound as loud in the cabin with sport mode on.
the tape is going to melt and you will not be able to take it off
Is keeping the valve open better for the car or not?

Hello can you please tell me how you opened the valve? After 30 seconds i dont understand that part how you opened it?
When the engine is warm and it’s in sport mode, it opens by itself
So the check engine light wont turn on if you unplug it?
