well i was just wondering, can this be a dangerous mod?

i bent my hose that goes to the valve mechanism in the exhaust, and put a wire tie to keep it bent or crimped. no air passes trough and the valve stays open.

now my question, where does this blocked air go? will it damage anyting?

If it's dangerous, I guess anyone who buys BMW's own performance exhaust, like me, is screwed...

I heard it could blow up your motor.

it gets plugged and zip tied up

i see, ok thanks alot for clearing that up. im off to my garage again to crimp the hose and zip tie it in that postition

i just thought that with as the air gets block something within the venting vaccum might break.

if bmw themselves are blocking the passage and zip tying it away they its all fine
