Bimmercode Sport Mode Exhaust Flap

You don't need to buy a fuse puller. You can use fingers, needle-nose pliers, hemostats, literally anything narrow and grippy.

I am aware and have already removed mine with pliers, I just want to have it.

Are cold starts noticeably louder with fuse pulled?

Are there any negative affects of having the valve always open? What was the reason for Toyota/BMW to design it this way?

Great job! I have an AWE Track Exhaust, assume mine is gone . But talk on the forums about turning off speaker amplified exhaust. I definitely don’t want that! Have you looked into that yet?

Side note: you may want to replace your tires soon, tread pretty low.

The engine doesn’t need extra back “pressure” on startup. Nor any reason for the valve other than sound. Toyota & BMW both being very smart likely did research for their majority customer base and what’d they prefer.

AWE exhausts would be terrible if the valve being open 100% did any sort of problems. Probably there to try and make everyone happy. Instead of a valve they should of thought about letting us turn those fucking burbles off. (I’m serious about the burbles, but I also know who I’m replying to. )

You can turn burbles off. Watch vid.

Yea, I’ve tried the engine in Normal and still got the burbles and such in Sport mode. But problem is my ideal settings would be engine and transmission in Sport, steering and suspension in Normal.

You can change this in Sport Individual.

Yep, that’s what I tried. If it works for you the only thing I could think of is 2020 vs 2021.

Sure but mostly laws. Valve is required for emissions and noise regulation.
