Someone around which has BMW Performance Exhaust and had the golf tee mod before ?

cstavaru · 11-09-2009, 05:41 PM

Hi,

I did the quick Golf Tee mod - the quick way by unplugging the actuator socket in the trunk. The new exhaust sound is nice, but a bit tiresome if you ask me

Its nice but I don't know if I could live with this on a 2-3 hour highway cruise.

Since I plan to install the BMW Performance Exhaust soon, I was wondering how does the cabin sound compare between the two ? Is the Performance Exhaust louder or quieter in the cabin ? How about outside the car ?

Thanks !

The performance exhaust sounds louder, and ALOT nicer both inside and outside. Puts a big smile on your face every day

Believe me, there is a BIG difference with golf tee mod

(at all but the highest RPMs where the exhaust flap was open before anyway).

There is drone with the golf tee mod, trust me. Albeit not much, it's there.

Exactly. This is why I find it tiresome. But worth trying anyway

Yes, like here: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=80661

Just try it, and if you don't like it, plug it back

I read that it records a fault code though, but its no big deal.
