Adding Electronic Valve Control (M5 Exhaust on 535i)

DigitalNav · 06-09-2016, 11:38 AM

Hello,

I have a 535i that i modded with an OEM m5 muffler so I could get the quad-tip look.
I love the sound it makes with the valves open so I left them permanently open with wire since the 535i doesn't have EVC.

Is there any after-market EVC I can add on that I can control with a remote?

Yup! Here's what I'm going to do. I'm not positive if the M5 uses the same EVC tho?

The M5 is vacuum controlled, I just need a motor one that I can use to pull the rod used on the original.

I figured that since on the M5 they automatically open and close depending on aggressive you get on the throttle. If that's the case you wouldn't be able to do it wireless hence why I posted the one I was gonna get

exhaust meister

i have one its awesome...

by default stays closed and functions like stock (opens above 3k rpm) however, i can open it on demand, I also programed the 2 additional buttons for my homelink to open/close the valves.

So the exhaust meister just allows you to open and close the valve right? On a 535i there is no vacuum but on the instructions from exhaust meister in my trunk there is already a vacuum switch already?

yes i'm not sure how it works on the 535 but my 550i has a module in the trunk where i plugged the exhaust meister into...
