Finally got to install these retrofit exhaust tips.
Not much to do it. Tools needed to cut is power cutting disc and basic tools. Thanks to @r33_RGSport for the parts and helping with the shipping. FYI: No difference at all in the sound. As the exhaust valve was eliminated and dummy unit was already install on the right side pipe to avoid any errors. Last edited by Nonopr01; 09-16-2016 at 03:07 PM.. |

I'm confused, if you done the same procedure with replacing working flap with dummy, why no sound change? I was going to weld in the working flap part tomorrow, but if something else is causing the sound.. any suggestions?

Maybe because you have an MPPK. The exhaust sounded a bit more pronounced after my MPPK install. Couldn you record your exhaust sound and put it up here?

What I found regarding this valve saying it should be the source . I'm wondering why you are not hearing it: "The valve is part of the BMW Active Exhaust and is purely for noise reduction. Where at idle speeds, up to 2500 RPM: the exhaust flap is closed with vacuum applied to the actuator. This causes the exhaust gas to pass through the long resonator pipe, reducing the low frequency noise that is generated." |

Here is the sound. N1 is in idle, N2 is with some revs.

So I can a little confused and I have some questions:
1. So if you have X-line or Pure whatever you need to change the rear lower valence? 2. Where do we get the valence and what is the part number? Does it come with the trapezoidal tips? 3. If I am planning on getting MPE would it still work with this new valence? 4. Does the MPE come with muffler only and you would have to get tips separately? |

2) Contact Ben (R33_RGSport) on this forum, 3) Yes, 4) Yes, tips are separate items. Good luck. |

Do you guys know how to remove trim molding (plastic stripe above bumper)? Want to plastidip it.
It is number 8 on this diagram https://www.getbmwparts.com/parts/20...iagram=1957747 |

I would be better for u to wrap the hell out of your bumper and plastidip directly. Good luck. Last edited by Neuera09; 09-19-2016 at 09:09 PM.. |

There are two pins(one on each side) with a one way washer that if you try to pull off it will break the pins, also two strips of double sided tape. If you break the very fragile pins on each side you will need to buy a new part since even with the best double sided tape the ends won't be flush with the bumper anymore. I took my chrome molding out and replace it with the matte aluminium this is why I know how this is install and the problem with the fragile plastic pins with the washers. It is better to plastic dip the molding there as it is right now and clean up the extra after done. |

If you don't know, I suggest to have muffler shop to get it done. Because when you screw up, there is no turning back. Then you will have to have the muffler shop to fix it for you.
