That would also warrant the need of an extra flap in the second exhaust! Just not possible with the current installation. Don't think that would get past accounting either!

Nice of you to make this a sticky haha did see it being asked frequently!

In addition though one question: On the 28i (and possibly also the 35i) I've noticed that cold start RPMS vary sometimes. Sometimes it goes to about 1650 and it starts up LOUD. Other times it goes to about 1450 and it's much quieter.. Engine had the same amount of time to cool down, sometimes days.. Car probably has a reason for it but I can't seem to find a pattern
