Golf Tee Mod?

mostwantedguy · 06-25-2011, 06:37 PM

hello, i have a 2011 335 n55 convertible and i was wondering where the plug in the trunk is to do the golf tee mod? , is it in a different place then older 335s?

335_MI6 · 06-26-2011, 12:44 AM

on the e93 its almost impossible because of the convertible parts in the trunk...so its not even worth your time, just drive in sport mode

PeteW84 · 06-26-2011, 01:01 AM

Just bend the line in half and zip tie it

RoundelM3 · 06-26-2011, 08:56 AM

Plug the vacuum line with a golf tee...why do you think they call it the "golf tee" mod?

Biggest waste of time. Like mentioned above drive in sport mode.

IMHO the golf tee mod was banned by the USGA, but if nobody complains, go for it, it gets you at least an additional 30 yards off the Tee.

it should be different from e92, hard to unplug it

I have heard about this "mod" a few times. What exactly does it do?

There is a flapper valve in the driver side exhaust that is controlled by a vacuum controlled switch. The valve is normally closed under most conditions. It opens under full throttle. With the valve closed, the exhaust system is quieter.

The Golf Tee Mod blocks the vacuum line (nominally with a golf tee that fits the hose very well). When the line is blocked, the flapper valve remains open and the exhaust system is a little louder. A lot of board followers seem to like the enhanced sound.

Thanks, Mauryk!

+1 thats what i did to my n54 and my n55, cut the zip tie before service and re do after service. Also IME doesn't have any codes according to my procede*

You can also disconnect the line from under the car, stick a properly fitting ball bearing (or a BB gun pellet) in the opening, and plug the line back in. Took it to the dealer for service with it in, never had an issue. Does the same exact thing.

I was going to do that but read in one of these threads that someone got the bb stuck and couldn't get it out.

RoundelM3 · 06-27-2011, 09:14 AM

And why exactly would they want to get it back out? Sheesh!

Manoah · 06-27-2011, 09:21 AM

love the sound with the golf tee mod, not even gonna do an exhaust now.

It's not that hard, go under the left rear of your car by the left exhaust tip and you will find a black tube about 3/8"... then continue with your preferred method of the mod. (Unless you want to unplug which you will have to go behind the left tail light)

What's the difference between doing that and unplugging the connector in the trunk?
