Came across this on YouTube...pretty cool. My buddy did the same thing to his M3. Sounds Sick !

Sealobo · 07-23-2010, 05:09 PM

wow... where is the switch?

tim-atl · 07-24-2010, 06:44 AM

Cool but why is that F10 blowing smoke?

EnjoixE92 · 07-24-2010, 10:28 PM

im lost with the thingy opening and closing. im in the market for an 09 bmw m5 but im thinking about switching to the new F10 550. whats the 0-60 on it?

E60orBust · 07-25-2010, 07:39 PM

Looks a lot like http://www.quicktimeperformance.com/QTEC/specs.php

I gotta say, $425 + install to get that sound seems a lot cheaper than buying an after market dual/quad exhaust setup.

It's to change the tone of the exhaust. The driver can open or close the vent and have a stock sounding car or an aggressive sound depending on his mood.

See here for all official F10 specs, including acceleration times:

Video title says "2011 BMW 550i electronic exhaust bypass valve install at Unlimited Autosport In New York"....so aftermarket?

ROBD314 · 07-29-2010, 12:39 PM

Yeah, this is definitely aftermarket. It's not just a flap that opens within the muffler to make it louder (like in a corvette), these valves bypass the mufflers all together. Check out my buddies build thread, you can see his install and videos for his exhaust cut-outs.

Figure ~$300 for the electronic cut out + $~300 for a good exhaust shop to do the install. $600 is still way cheaper then an axel back system for the F10. I think this just might be my first mod.

sparkyg · 08-09-2010, 07:36 PM

No thanks, why not just put glass packs on there

Better yet buy a better exhaust, I bet Eisenmann will have a great set coming

MrHarris · 08-09-2010, 07:47 PM

What kind of change in power would one expect when the flap is opened?

Glass packs? This isn't a 69' Camaro.

For the same aforementioned reasons... $$$

You can bet a decent cat-back system for the 550i will start at $1,600. With cutouts you're saving yourself $1,000+ and retain the stock look while getting the rumble.

Look at all the guys doing muffler deletes on their 335i's, you'll get pretty much the same effect with cutouts.

bavarian19 · 08-09-2010, 08:41 PM

eh... kinda ghetto if you ask me

Muffler deletes belong on civics. I know a handful do it, but it really sounds bad.

Alumac · 08-09-2010, 08:57 PM

Sweet! Sounds like a lawnmower at idle.

NewYearsBoy · 08-09-2010, 09:57 PM

Wow.. its really cool...

Lawn mower??? Damn I want that lawn mower...

Saigon · 08-09-2010, 10:44 PM

wow i wonder if this will work with my 335. this requires a muffler delete?
