BMW charges $1-2k for it but on your car it should work without the activation code, looking at your model year it's an N55 engine...

joshe92, so you have AR downpipe and Remus quad, and you want it louder but not too loud. Wow. So what ended up working for you?

I like the sound now. Going to do a PPK flash to mod the tone.

I am content not going to mess it up with too much loud

Dig. I was asking because with a downpipe period, it should be darn loud. Mine is ok until I get on it. At 3.2 k RPM the rules of what is acceptable to polite society fly out the window. With a 3.46 LSD 3 K RPM is 80 mph. At 80 I have that 10 mph speeding buffer. At that point I am humming along on the highway, ready to leap without downshifting.

PPK does make the car faster than stock by actually increasing the boost target and some other factors. One of the most attractive features is the exhaust note changes and gurgles/pops. You can run PPK+Cobb+JB4 as I do it now without a problem. PPK has to be installed first with JB4 on Map 0. Thereafter you can install or reinstall your Cobb. The Cobb will retain the exhaust notes of PPK but will change the performance based on whatever tune you flash via the Cobb

That is pretty much what I'm doing minus the JB4. I uninstalled my Cobb and currently in the process of flashing the PPK.

I have to download the older DME software version of the PPK 98G0B as the newer version (98G1B) released in Oct/Nov is not supported by Cobb.

I'll love the exhaust notes from PPK and how it'll retain all the aspects. Should be done today or tomorrow evening

I'm running PTF pro tune on my Cobb right now. If I flash the PPK, it WILL change my ROM and my PTF pro tune won't work anymore right?

Joe can flash you the ppk with you current ROM. What rom do you have?

I just had it installed. You have to un-install Cobb. FLash PPK with the DME version you have now. Then you can reflash your cobb with all of the exhasut aspects of the PPK.

You're PTF tune will work as long as the PPK is flashed with your current DME software. You have to say what you want your DME as or he will flash to the most current which is incompatible with cobb

Since a lot of people have been asking I went ahead and uploaded them to YouTube and went out and took a vid with the go pro. The shop I went to was skeptical on doing it but one of the guys there was cool and went ahead and did it for me but said he couldn't provide a receipt for the work.

I had a rough idle issue and they replaced the wiring harness and now the valvetronic motor so waiting to see what's going on with the car but after it is done...i would love to get the PPK done.
