What exactly does this mod do, just alter the exhaust note.
This is the first time I see anything about a golf tee mod! Time for research!

im sure there is a reason for this line in the first place.
anyone know what the line is supposed to do and what happens when you remove it? i remember reading that people feel torque loss after doing this..weird. |

Dam, this is the hard way to do it....
All you really need is to use one ball bearing that is 15%-30% larger than the inside diameter of the hose. 1. Place the ball bearing in the hose and push it in with a small Phillips screw driver an inch or two. 2. Place the hose back on the tube stub of the actuator and all is stock and complete reversible with no damage. The bearing will seal well as it will be close to the shape of a Type 2 - SAE bead. The golf tee may work but the diameter of the tee must be at least 15% larger than the inside diameter of the hose or it will leak for sure even with all the tape junk and wedging.

I beleive its a 3.85mm ball I used one of these (the metal thing... actually the one i used didnt have threads on it, but it still had a neck on it) Works and sounds great... and totally stealth, other than the small extra bulge in the line UPDATE: I may be crazy, but i feel like my low rpm throttle response has gotten a little better since this mod... almost like it used to be affected by the silencer valve actuator wating to open... which is now always open. Its much louder in the low rpms... partial throttle sounds more like what full throttle sounded like in the low rpm range. I was very surprised, but also realized why bmw put this on there... i might be too loud for some poeple without it Last edited by RiXst3r; 07-02-2007 at 08:18 AM.. |

FYI -- the right sized screw works just as well...seals up the vacuum hose and I bought a couple vacuum caps and put one on the metal connector to seal it.

Farting around on a day we should have off. Went out to the parking garage and shoved a ball I broke off the end of the pocket clip of a nice pen some salesman left. Sounds a bit' better, I must admit.

quick questions. Can this be reached from above the motor or underneath the car? I know the double yellow zip tie or wire tie method doesnt work 100% but i want to try this and thats easily reverisble, is that worth the effort? Also i dont completely understand the ball bearing method. Wont the bearing be pulled in both directions or it only a vac line pulling vac not pushing?
