M340 Valvetronic exhaust

I recently installed a Valvetronics exhaust paired with an Active Autoworke downpipe. The valvetronic exhaust is amazing, when the valves are open the sound is amazing, when the valves are closed it’s as quiet as stock (with a downpipe). Coming from an AWE exhaust the valvetronic exhaust one ups it in every aspect. Definitely worth the money in the long run.

Have the same system on my 23. Looking to get a DP soon and possibly unlock the ecu for a slight burble tune. Gonna get a friend to do a roller behind to hear it on the road

I still have Warranty, so if something goes wrong and need to have work done I can throw original dme in and when they check the dme it will show all stock levels, but honestly I might just go for it and not clone.

I feel ya dude. I wanna unlock my 23 so bad, but if I do I know that I just can’t ever go back to a dealer and risk it getting re locked. Hard to give up the free break change.

How much does the sound improve or change with a Valvetronic exhaust and stock DP?

Even if you get a clone, the original ECU needs to be unlocked. Which will show up through ISTA anyway.
