DLSJ5 · 08-04-2010, 12:20 AM

Awesome job!

bavarianx · 08-23-2010, 10:41 PM

Nice work, really clean. RSD is rumored to have one for m3 coming similar to the 335 version.

JetBlackE46 · 08-23-2010, 10:50 PM

Very clean set up!

bavarianx · 09-07-2010, 01:51 PM

The m3 version is supposed to have larger canisters as well.

NYCMCBM3 · 09-07-2010, 07:32 PM

thats soooooo cool, never even knew that was possible

I'm not sure if anyone else has experienced this, but keep an eye on the valves further down the road. I had mine installed a year ago this past June and had one quit working a couple months ago. They have a lifetime warranty and I never close them, so I'm not very concerned, but it will still be a PITA to have it removed, shipped off, and re-installed.

Where can the electronic valve cutouts be purchased?

Nobody mess with ellwood

Cool. Too bad you coulden't get the switch installed in a more stealthy way...

You might want to look at down pipes as well. It will direct the heat away from your muffler and undercarriage. Could cause damage long term.

A word of advice for everyone with cut-outs.

Every once in a while - tighten down the assembly (geartrain to bracket) or blue loctite it all. On my second brand of cutout actuators, and they too now have missing bolts attaching the geartrain/motor to the bracket. I may be an extreme case, the car spends a lot of time on the track so the cutouts see big temp swings.

Ellwood is the pug.

This set up really drone when open from 2000-3000. But closed it quite as stock. I love the sound and really lets me adjust for my mood .

Thanks for info on lock tight I need to get under there and check everything anyway.

thegeneral101 · 12-11-2010, 08:23 PM

thats the coolest thing ever.....love the switch location

Isn't the loss and gain of back pressure too sudden for the computer to adjust? A++ for cool factor, nicely done

Does not seem to bother the car much. The muffler has very little back pressure to begin with.

BadBoostedBMWM3 · 12-12-2010, 01:56 PM

Very nice install! The welds are just pure sex!

I love the placement of the switch!

What were those buttons used for in factory spec??

Definitive · 12-12-2010, 04:51 PM

Thanks again for all the kind words. I open and close it multiple times every day. Work, home, cops. The best mod I did hands down. I have had many comments all the way from, nice sound, to wow did you swap the motor with a NASCAR...

Badboost: those buttons are blanks on the M3!

emthreeboy · 12-12-2010, 06:56 PM

Woah this is amazing. That switch is cool, how hard was it to set up all the wiring?
