vince01 · 06-21-2014, 02:19 PM

Would like some help with the golf tee mod. Anyone in the markham area, or near could help me out? its for a coupe n54, Currentley have the bmw performance exhaust and just want to enhance the sound a lil bit. I know there's 2 ways of doing it, I perfer plugging the hole from under the exhaust, dont want to touch anything myself beacuse I have no clue what im doing. lol

Is this necessary with PE?

I thought PE eliminated the need for the "golf tee" mod, which essentially just holds the butterfly valve in the driver's side tail-pipe open at all times.

I don't know much about OEM PE but I was under the impression that it wouldn't have the flapper valve in it...

I have no idea to be honest, I was told before it could be done

PE doesnt have the valve unless you have the extremely rare ones made in the UK or something.

nimzz · 06-22-2014, 09:47 AM

Yeah as far as I know there is no valve on the PE.

vince01 · 06-22-2014, 12:39 PM

why is it, sometimes the pe will be louder at some times durring the day while driving then it gets quieter, this is one of the reasons I thought there was a valve lol

nimzz · 06-22-2014, 04:20 PM

I've noticed when its warmer outside its a lot louder than when its cold.

surendrant · 06-23-2014, 01:13 AM

The PE does not have an exhaust flapper. The golf tee mod is only for the OEM exhaust. I'm pretty sure the noise difference you're hearing based on the air temperature on any given day.

vince01 · 06-23-2014, 09:42 AM

Thanks for the info, ill just leave everything the way it is then, still happy with the sound it gives anyways.

notnow · 06-23-2014, 06:29 PM

I've also noticed the exhaust note changing from time to time, but for me it happens for 5mins once every week.

I actually get some drone when it happens but the burble and backfire is insanely loud.

I always wondered why it is doing that because I would love to have it stay that way.

The temperatures don't really matter as it could happen in the cold at night or when it is burning in the sun.

I was thinking it could be AFR or maybe my spark plugs/ coils going out :S

Wolf 335 · 06-23-2014, 07:44 PM

Vince could you take a pic of the exhaust setup from underneath.

Do you have PE plates welded on indicating authenticity?

evoix · 06-23-2014, 07:53 PM

Pics ASAP

vince01 · 06-23-2014, 09:45 PM

it was hard taking pics beacuse of the car being low in my garage lol

drevil2k2 · 06-23-2014, 10:08 PM

Isn't the vacuum/boost controlled valve located on the left side?

vince01 · 06-24-2014, 08:57 AM

not sure, most people are saying there are no valve.

evoix · 06-24-2014, 08:59 AM

THe vacuum line and wastegate should be on the left side of the car. If there is a line you will clearly see it. It will stand out . Cant tell by the pics. Take a pic of the left side and look for that hose

vince01 · 06-24-2014, 11:58 AM

im assuming there is a valve?

evoix · 06-24-2014, 11:58 AM

That's it's. Now is it connected to the waste gate ?
