The metal pins are meant to be crimped onto bare wires, with the rubber sleeves going around them to make it water-tight once inserted into the plastic connectors. In other words, the kit is actually to make/assemble a connection from scratch. For our application we wont be using most of whats included because the connections are already made. We are just using the plastic parts as "caps". My plan is to just use the plastic connectors to cap the male/female ends once they are disconnected from each other and the flaps. I will use the rubber sleeves to plug the holes and put a little silicone in them to make them water tight. The process will be simple and Ill take pics, dont be put off by all the bits and pieces, they arent all needed for our application. |

I'm confused. What does the exhaust button near the shift lever do? Doesn't it open the valves as well? Is there a difference in sound with that selected vs unplugging the connector?

According to the first post in the thread, disconnecting will keep the flaps open all the time. |

Humor & educate me, please. Why would you want to do this? Just for the exhaust sound, or some other reason?

It sounds reasonable, I just was curious to know how you know this. It's not mentioned anywhere in the technical docs.

Again, its gearing and throttle input dependent (on top of engine mode). So if you are sitting still and hit the sport+ button then yes the valves will fully open and you can even see it as you mentioned. But once you start driving and shift up through gears 4,5, etc the valves will generally close unless you are full throttle or close to it. Again using my highway example, the valves will be closed if you are cruising in top gear. Have you ever had a valve controller on the F80? That's the easiest way to tell the difference. Once you have driven in a car with the valves open 100% of the time it becomes more obvious how much they actually close under oem operation. Anyway, not trying to argue here just saying that while the valves are open more often in sport/sport+ they are not open 100% of the time in any situation. |
