First, it's great that you can buy it w/o first, and then make a complementary installation if necessary.

But, this also probably means that the tip furthest to the left is not used in the "w/o valve mode" in standard config, how does this effect performance?

And, I talked to the agent for Akrapovic here in Sweden, he said 100 systems are already pre-booked! And, what else, well he also told that BMW has looked at the systems and APPROVED THEM FOR SALE IN BMW AD'S! That rarely occurs!

I'm currently looking at the evolution w/o valve, so if someone reads this and own a car with that setup, please tape it and write what you think!

If the block-off plate is installed in place of the valve, it would mean BOTH outer exhaust tips are rendered non-functional and for show only.
