Exhaust gone silent?

F87LUV · 06-08-2016, 04:53 PM

Has anyone's exhaust gotten quieter as they rack up miles? I'm almost at 3,000 miles and when I got into the car this afternoon, i put the car in sport mode and I hear nothing. No cracks, burbles or anything. I went all the way up to sport plus and it got slightly louder but sounds almost muffled? What could that be?

Mine seems fine and I have 3700 miles on it now.

weird.

Maybe your asd broke! If so then you saved yourself $25 over a harness delete which btw was worth every penny. With no asd the difference between comfort to sport+ is only overrun pops (I also disabled the exhaust flap).

Take it to the track and run it hard, my exhaust has been getting louder I feel.

No no no, don't freak out. This happened to me once. I parked the car, got in it 9 hours later, it was a monster again. Might be the flaps not opening for some reason.

But don't worry. I know exactly what it's like. Felt like the car was always in comfort or less.

It'll go back to normal, give it a day.

I can't afford an MPE right now if this is for real.

lol

Could be the flap stuck closed, just the Fabspeed exhaust.. I had it on my m235i and it sounded insane

F87LUV · 06-08-2016, 05:36 PM

Idk. I kind of feel like the car isn't pulling as strongly either. I think now it's maybe in my head. Idk. Something definitely isn't right.

Idk if it's stuck. Is there just one or two for each side ? I hear some but definitely quiet.

I went through exactly what you're saying you went through, you'll be fine, as long as this parallel between our experiences does not continue to the point where you hit a Coyote, you've got nothing to worry about.

I'm going to say the flap is stuck closed.

Oh no..... We don't have those. Just deer, wild turkeys, peacocks, squirrels and possums.

Look on the bright side, gives you a really good reason to go WOT a bunch of times.

It's not fun when the car is quiet.

Don't tell me that some folks stuffed a potato/pineapple/apple on one of your car's exhaust pipes ?

Did this started right after your encounter with the Chevy guys?

Perhaps the flap didn't want to hear their mouth anymore and it stuck closed itself...

Sorry, cruel joke but I was LOL thinking about it. It's not called ASD for no reason you know!!!
