I had a muffler delete (with unplugged valve) on my G05 but it was too loud so I put it back. Today I unplugged exhaust valve and it’s just right imo. Quite noticeably louder.

[@BMWX1M]

Great video! There’s a huge difference in noise

[@luizmkv6963]

In which mode are you driving, my guess is sport plus?

Wait so all stocked (G05) X5 has that clamp close/open exhaust thing under the rear bumper?

[@rapidcreation]

My x5 is EU/ German car and it has different exhaust with less noise because of EU regulations. It sounds same before and after like in sport mode, so this mod is only available for US cars.

[@ferencadorjan1997]

have you tested with Carly app?

You have to pull the wiring harness once the flaps are opened.

I need a specific step by step. Do we need the Carly and what was the objective of the Carly? Can you do a step by step like step I and 2 ant. etc. . written here?

[@ryz_seth2165]

As demonstrated in this video, the Carly was only used to open the exhaust valves, and he went under the car and unplugged the valves so the valves would be stuck open. That was the objective of the Carly.

[@JuneBugJoe]

pops... ya know technically "pops" in the exhaust and that crackle you hear is actually a sign of a poorly tuned engine. it sounds like shit when you know whats going on. a properly tuned engine does not have that aggressive popping, less is better pronounced but subtle. question is how do you get more sound out of the turbos? I know its an odd idea but are simple things to hear them turbos express themselves more or maybe adding a blow off valve or tuning?

[@BigRobEnergy]

Does this same trick work with a G30 540i? My wife bought one last night. Thanks man

You’ll get better sound but less performance (less torque at low rpm) Sometimes you need the flap closed to restricted the flow and create low pressure for the turbo to spool faster.

that sound you hear is me opening the exhaust valve manually through the app. When driving in Sport Plus or comfort only opens up when you're in full throttle. When the valve is open it will sound the same in comfort and sport plus.

Make sure your exhaust flap is opened first!!! If not this will create excessive back pressure on your exhaust and turbo when building boost and when your wastegate opens to dump those gases.

[@cometauto984]

Can you accomplish this by just unplugging the valve, without the Carly OBD device?

[@ryz_seth2165]

Well the reason why the OBD device was used was to open the valves through the app of course, and then after it was open, he unplugged the valves, making them stuck open. If you just unplug the valve, chances are the valves is already closed, meaning they will be stuck closed after unplugging the valves. Now if you do want to unplug the valve while the valves is open, I'm pretty sure the valves are open during a cold start, so that would probably be ur chance to unplug the valves before the RPMS drop and the valves close.
