Hehehe.. Now you feel my drift when I say I felt like complete tool driving around Sandton in this car.. But as they say, "Beggers cant be choosers". I really had no choice, excerpt for taking a taxi. NOT.. Care to educate me on the golf tee Mod you are talking about, I've never heard about it?

Bloody Accountants I'm also pretty keen to do this mod...but it seems like alot of work for little gain. The return is not sufficient to justify the investment!

OT: does anyone know how strict the warranty policy is in SA?

Guys wow! ok. ive done it on two bm's and theres a very relaxed way to do it :P Yes, i do accounting in school so theres hope for u ghush! :P
Theres no real gains just a verrrr naas sounding car :P
And about warranty, just say it fell off, htf can they prove it was u?
a) drop below exhaust pipe of car(make sure theres no dirt, we dont want a dirty accountant? :P)
b) look at the exhaust pipe on the left side and you will see a small cable running to the exhaust. Thats where the valve is.
c) Put your fingers on the cable quite close to the joining part @ the exhaust and pull!!!
d) DO what ever you want after. I just let the pipe hang. Doesnt really phase me and no one sees it.

Okey... sounds easier than using a Financial calculator...I'll go under the car after work and just pull the cable... Stupid question, can I put it back on if the need arises??

Dude, there's no need to pull the pipe out..I took a cable tie, and just stopped the flow..Works just fine and looks neat

I noticed a difference in my 125.

definitely a lower sound at lower revs! I also noticed a difference when im at about 3000RPM and tap off the accelerator.

It should have a bigger effect on the 135 though.
