I don't think its a great idea to keep your flap open. It's there to balance back pressure from low to high RPMs. Opening it permanently equals less back pressure at low RPMs, less flow velocity, and a negative impact on how your engine produces power.

Surprised the US version of the perf exhaust doesn't have one, but maybe its internals are designed differently. The 335i version has one, both euro and US.
