I also did notice a slight power loss of power at the low -to mid rpm range, but maybe its in my head, or maybe it was due to higher ambient temps, higher humidity (turbos not spooling as fast), etc. Not really sure what to think at this point. In the mean time, I have plugged it back in. Performance is more important to me personally that sound. But thats just my .02.

I think it's in your head. I don't see how the turbos will spool up slower if you have better exhaust output, meaning, both exhausts open vs just one. That just doesn't make sense. If you look at after market exhausts, they don't have the valve at all and have better output, they actually increase hose power slightly. Racecars just have straight pipes no valves. Check this out

however just opening up the flap you will not see as much gain as the above. Maybe guessing 1 HP increase but the sound rocks, I love it.

Did this over the weekend. Adds a nice amount of volume to the exhaust and no error codes. Thanks for the write up!

Be carefull with that, try concact your dealer before doing this, cos after this mod I felt loss of power, I think it's worth for sound only if u don't have moneys for real exhaust, just my opinion

Bad advice. Don't contact your dealer - they might void your warranty. Got any dyno charts to prove loss of power?

Hi guys. I am going to put the cable back. Had my car in neutral yesterday at the traffic light, AC was on and Engine went off. Had the good sound for 2 weeks, but it is not worth loosing horsepowers and maybe money for gas.

HAHA, are you serious? No way was the exhaust flap mod a cause of this. There is no horsepower lost, if anything you actually might gain a tiny amount because of the reduced back pressure at all RPM.

My bimmer sounds louder now after over 2 weeks of driving with the valve open, I guess the left side of the exhaust has to break in a little if the valve was mostly closed before. It sounds the best when driving in a tunnel as the noise get amplified. Here is my bimmer and stock exhaust sound 800 - 3000 rpm rev. It also sounds much deeper when you are driving since the engine has to work harder.

why would the engine have to work harder? if you reduce the exhaust restriction, what do you think happens to the engine?
