This is good info, I'm going to unplug the wire on my M Performace Exhaust tonight.. It's just sitting in the garage waiting for the new car to arrive.
I should probably wrap that loose wire with electrical tape? Maybe that will melt off.

It's really a loose 'plug' so no wires are actually exposed. I just tied mine up so it wouldn't dangle. I think I used a little piece of metal wire but a zip tie would've done the trick too.

Like you I have just read about these shadow codes being thrown. No hard evidence. Agreed it is a very low low risk mod. If you can stand the drone give it a go. Makes daily driving sound way louder. |

If you are referring to sound, then yes I thought it made a huge difference. I really really liked the sound for daily driving around town. But as soon as we went on a road trip the drone was really bad at a constant highway speed for several hundred miles.
I have noticed that for the most part the Sport + option seems to open the exhaust as well at lower speeds. But no drone in Sport + setting which is good. |

you will get a cel with any downpipe (catted or catless). Just a matter of when it triggers. Could be few hundred miles or even thousands.

I was considering the Borla S-Type catback for my 335i....but this cheap "unplug" sounds pretty tempting instead. Am I crazy for going with the Borla over this cheap mod?

why don't you go for a downpipe first? I'm the type of person that likes a nice subtle, but louder exhaust note. I think first handedly the downpipe can achieve that. I'll post up some videos when I get my downpipe installed.
