I've just finished installing the exhaust valve controller & it works perfectly, when its fully closed it sounds stock & when its fully opened there is no loss of performance, best thing i've put on my car.

Someone said they only make them for a 2 1/2 inch exhaust, not true they make em for any size.

I got it through Neugen, he was a pleasure to deal with, it took approx 10 days to recieve it & he was $50 to $60 cheaper than Greenline or anyone else.

Yes its the butterfly valve from inside the cabin job.

It cost me $202 postage included from Neugen & its easy to install. I havent got a camera to take photos of it, take my word for it, its tidy & neat.

The cable went down through the passengers seat, there's a wire going to my cat so i threaded it through there, no drilling needed

Yes Nengen & the butterfly valve goes just after ur cat & the controller i've mounted it to the left of my left knee on the centre console, its out of the way it doesnt interfere with anything. The controller is only small.

I mounted mine on the inside of the passenger footwell (next to the stereo) so still very well in reach of my left hand but not so annoying as to hit my left knee on it every time you change gears ....

Thats exactly where i've put mine. Just didnt explain myself properly

Koolies :) it's a good spot cept every new passenger to the car gives in to the urge to play with it ;)

I actually removed the valve recently as I started getting scared when it was closed ... backpressure and turbo's dont mix well :(

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
