    Have a 2001 BMW 325xi Touring (Wagon) and it has the vacuum actuated exhaust valve. I disconnected the vacuum line leading to the butterfly valve, but it was so dry-rotted. After tearing off the dry rotted pieces, I actually used a large screw that was a little larger diameter than the hose and screwed it in. After I was done, the car now has a much lower tone and it isn't too loud. I like it, but I do want to eventually upgrade to a Dinan or another reputable exhaust system.

    Hey man. Can you recommend a tutorial or posting about disabling the automatic upshift feature on -02 318ti auto-gearbox? I think it's same as all E46, except maybe largest engines. I know Dinan has a software upgrade for it, but it also does other things that are meant to be used together with Dinan stuff. I'm not looking to full Dinan a 1500e car lol. If I can ride limiter on 2nd gear, this thing will drift great.

    • @ChannelAsh100
      @ChannelAsh100 6 років тому +5

      I did the mod myself and it makes the car louder at low rpms and sound not so muffled. if youre driving fast the noise wont be much different since if the rpms are high enough the valve opens anyway to allow more exhaust to escape.

    • @Eratiik
      @Eratiik 6 років тому +1

      DivineRift I'm actually wondering if I already have this mod on my 330i. When you say that it's just louder at low rpm, I'm thinking it's already modded. There's a 330ci that lives not far from me. Same year, colour etc. and hers is quiet compared to mine at low revs. Mine has a throaty muffled sound but is still quite loud at low revs, almost get drone in the cabin. I should actually check to see. The whole cars stock, but it's somewhat loud even compared to other 330i/Ci that are around. No exhaust leaks or holes or anything. It's not a shitty sounding loud but more of a aftermarket exhaust sound. (Minus me having the aftermarket exhaust and just a stock one.)

    • @ChannelAsh100
      @ChannelAsh100 6 років тому

      I dont really get drone on the inside of the cabin unless all my windows are down. Even after the mod, the inside sound is only marginally louder, but it clearly has a deeper tone to it.
      If you are not sure if you have the mod or not id just say next time you drive your car home and park it, go check to see if that butterfly valve is opened. Of course try not to breath in the gallops of exhaust coming out of the tail pipe. What year is your 330i and miles im curious

    • @Eratiik
      @Eratiik 6 років тому

      DivineRift 😂. I won't be looking down there if it's spitting out fumes don't worry. My e46 is a 2001 330i. When I did look down last time the Valve was open, I'm just surprised with how loud it is. It has a deep low rumble tone at low revs, and it does boarder on drone, (it isn't bad when the drone comes in, I was just more curious as to if the drone come from the mod that may or may have not been done to my car) and I've hit just over 110,xxx kms give or take a few 100km. I guess it's 70,000-ish miles taking in what google said with converting it.

    My vacuum line broke off behind the intake manifold.
    At Idle, it sounds like I have an exhaust leak. Quite annoying.
    As I accelerate, it gets quiet, as it was before.
    I believe that at idle, the pulses of pressure are a low frequency (Bass) sound.
    But as RPM increases, the frequency goes higher and you don't need the flap closed.
    Disabling the flap doesn't increase the sound when accelerating. That's when the flap opens anyway.

    These kids should do a little homework first so they can better understand why it's there in the first place and not be so concerned how cool your car sounds. For the record, the butterfly plate is design to stay wide open during launch and close while reaching higher speeds to create more back pressure to keep you moving especially when on the highway. Found in the 330ci, M3 and some Corvettes definitely NOT recommended...

      Edwin Plaza Jr what do you mean to keep you moving?

      Wrong, backpressure increasing power output is a myth, engines are just air pumps and anything that restricts air flow is bad if you want maximum power... not saying this mod increases power output but there is no science backing your claim that it will reduce power either.

      Better airflow, better performance. Back pressure is a no no when it comes to performance
