Golf Tee mod reversed..
I have been driving around with the golf tee mod for a while now and i love the sound. I am taking my car in for service tomorrow and had to put it back. I emailed my SA and advised him about my intake. He said that himself and the shop manager would have no issues with it. The only thing they would worry about was a tune..cool...
I hate the way the car w/o the mod. I used to be able to chirp the next car's alarm in my apt. carport but w/o it.. nothing.. I also was able to set off car alarms at parking lots too.. can't wait to get that damn microfilter changed so I can do the mod again!!!

I hate to even post this because there's nothing more to this dead horse at this point than a pile of glue. But...why are you reversing a simple vacuume flap in the muffler before taking it to the dealer? I would hope that they would realize that:
a) it doesn't make a damn bit of difference to the car b) their own BMW performance exhaust system "golf tees" the hose. |

You my friend seems like one of those OPs that need to stay stock and not spend time on this forum as much because sooner or later it will swallow you in!!! Golf tee mod is one of the simplist mod if you want to call it that...I think spending time on this forced induction threads is not for you!!!

No sense in leaving it in for service.......why take the risk? It takes about 15 seconds to hook it back up. With that being said I hated the way it droned on the highway and reversed it.

i really wonder what some of you guys definition of "drone" is.
if you can't stand a golf tee mod how would you guys ever live with a real exhaust? my god that would be ear shattering!! |

I couldn't hear any drone when I had the golf tee mod back in the day, but I guess some people are more sensitive than others. Hell, the eisenhaus race that I have now doesn't even drone on the highway.
BTW, I agree with you in reversing it just so the dealer doesn't bust your balls. We all realize that it doesn't affect anything, but why take a chance if it will lead to some possible aggravation later on? Also, the car alarms by you must be super sensitive because I never set anything off with my exhaust.

Ok, Ok go easy on the guy.
"golf tee" (stupid name) mod, I like to call "EBV mod" (exhaust butterfly valve mod...almost as stupid of a name, but at least accurate) will have zero effect on warranty. Personally, unless they are looking at your exhaust for some reason, they'll never know anyway. And it's ONLY for sound. They'd have more of an argument for aftermarket wheels/tires hurting your car, and that would be ridiculous too. Don't stress over it. I love the sound with EBV mod done. Drone, what drone, that's a rumble and it's sweet. |

-Yeap! ur a tool! If I have a question I will ask. If I have a statement I will post it. I don't however appreciate smart-a$$es like you coming into other people's threads and sh!tting on it. I usually enjoy posting here but its TOOLS like you that drag these forums down. I've done a lot of nice things for the people here like giving away free shwag in raffles to keep things fun and interesting. Doing something nice for strangers I don't even know As far as modding my car goes? I will mod it if and when I please. I don't need a TOOL like you telling me how I should maintain or enjoy my car. Don't like the post? Don't add your worthless 2 cents because I don't need it. In short: take your holier than thou attitude and shove it...

By the way...I have never heard of alarms being set off from the GOLF TEE MOD..but in your case it must be the mother of all golf tee mods, so i apologize for being a tool to you.. But to be useful in your thread, if warranty is in question for you for a simple mod like this, it very simple to revert back to stock and have no worries...there I said it for you Signed Cn555ic...AKA Tool!! I love that word |
