- I installed an exhaust on my BMW 340i from Valvetronic Designs. In this video I show some sound clips and talk about my initial impressions. I also go over how to use the exhaust flap feature, and a small fitment issue I had during the install.

For your flap issue... bm3 tune you can adjust it... once you go into map settings you option to have it open in traction control off or in sport/sport + mode.... and off on comfort mode... not sure if you knew.. I know it's been 2 years since this video...
It’s nice to see a review of this exhaust on a stock setup. I got the Valvetronic exhaust with catless downpipes and no resenators. I love it
Yeah I still have one resonator. I need to cut it out
@@NWAuto can’t wait to hear it! Please do record your changes after! I’ve only heard catless Valvetronic and not catted so it would be nice to hear the other types of serups
@@universalg_ Definitely will. I did put a video out recently with a single resonator delete. But I'm sure cutting the second will improve it
@thicwhips had a remote for his valvetronic exhaust that he used to sync with the mirror buttons to control the flap. Pretty genius and might be an option for you
Thats cool. I'm gonna look into that
This is awesome bro, love ur video’s
Glad you like it
You can code the exhaust flap to work as you described with BM3/MHD, since you have that now just check the box in the config tab 👍🏻
I actually just tried that. I set the setting for the exhaust flap to be open in the map config section of Bootmod3. But it still doesn't work the way I hoping
@@NWAuto mine will open as soon as I put it in sport or sport+ and tap the gas. You can the actuator open once you blip the throttle, try that or reflash the map then give it a shot
Hey man happy for you! How you diggin the 340i so far?
I love it. The engine is really strong. I'm only running a basic stage 1 tune so far, but I plan on doing a lot more than that.
Great video bro!
Thanks. You doing great too
You mentioned bending on the midpipe which is normal but what do you mean by cutting by the muffler..? did the tips not line up evenly with the diffuser or was it just sticking out to much and mid-pipe had to be trimmed down for the whole muffler to be slid back a little??. I know I'm a little late to the party but just curious.
I think the midpipe just needs to be straightened, not cut. I already forgot exactly what the muffler shop told me. But this muffler is designed to fit the N55 mid pipe, not B58
@@NWAuto when you ordered it did you know it was for an N55?
@@michaelwise6970 Yeah I did. I really wanted the quiet and loud mode, which Valvetronic does well. Or else I would have gone with the AWE Touring like I did on my last F30
@@NWAuto Yes I understand That's exactly why I want to order this exhaust to have that valve control, I ordered a M performance muffler for my 2018 340ix and It sounded good until I put in a catless downpipe. But the M performance muffler is not valved so it's stupid loud, it's to much. Also I took my stock 340ix muffler and converted my other 2018 330ix MSport B48, there was no bending anything I just cut it at the dimple and it bolted right on with a clamp and all I had to do is change the diffuser. Anyways so now with my 340i I want to order this exhaust that you got So I can quiet it down a little when I'm leaving my neighborhood hopefully it will do the trick. I don't know where you got yours but they have it on extreme powerhouse for $1285 or something like that and it says it fits the F30 from 2012 to 2018, But I think the fitment problem.. you know bending the midpipe part, I actually think it's because it has to be for the LCI models 2015-2018 because anything before the LCI 2012-2014 or older..The fitment will be off.. I'm not sure but I'm going to call them before I order it and see if they can shed some light on that, bending the midpipe is not really that big of a deal but I would like to just unbolt my M muffler and bolt this one straight to it just like I did with my stock 340i muffler to my 330i That's how it should be especially if you're spending almost $1300 probably more with a shipping..
Or you know what I just thought of maybe I can find a pipe with an exhaust valve that I can plug in the car's control valve actuator or whatever it's called, and just have them cut off the left tailpipe from the M muffler and weld that on... I don't know but I'm definitely going to do some research before I order anything.
So you use the app for opening and shutting the valve? I found out the valve only opens when hitting the gas in sport mode… this is the case right? So to keep the exhaust open the whole time in sport mode I should use that app you mentioned?
The best way to keep it always open is to pull the plug that controls the flap. The plug is connected right next to the flap. The first video I ever uploaded on this channel shows how to do it. The alternative is to use the app every time, but that seems like it would get annoying
@@NWAuto so I do like being able to shut it so removing the plug may be bad. The app sounds like my taste cuz when I feel like ripping in sport I can
Just have it open with the app then turn off the app and be good. Like can I bring it back to the original settings it’s set to right now with the app?
@@ShadyContinues Yeah the app would allow you to open and close whenever you want. And when you close the app, it just goes back to OEM functionality
how do you connect the app to the bluetooth
@@ShadyContinues Plug your Bluetooth adapter to the OBD, then pair it with your phone in the phone bluetooth settings. After that select which bluetooth adapter you're using in the Bimmerlink app and it should be connected
Is there any drone noise in the cab?
There is not
You will not experience drone with catless downpipes or no resenators
Man I put the dummy plug in and now flap is open 24/7
Which dummy plug are you using?
The one on ECS tuning.... like $25 or so pretty ez to put on
I think I just started car revved it a bunch in sport + to open valve ( on drivers side or my 16 model ) and then shut car off. Confirmed it was opened and then installed. No cel or anything else. The valvetronic muffler...... is it 2 mufflers or 1 ?
@@scottjohnson8316 I did something similar, but didn't put a dummy plug in. I just taped it. I need to order one. Valvetronic is one muffler connected to the left tailpipe
