I recently got a muffler delete, and 2 days ago after I got my car back from the BMW dealer after fixing a faulty water pump and oil filter housing, a Drivetrain check popped up, I got the dealership to run a scan and it apparently was because of the exhaust flap, they removed the code but it came back again recently.
Any way to bypass it? (M sport) |

There is something you can plug the harness into to make it think the flap is connected. Don't have the part # but just Google it

Yeah I was looking at that one, but I wasn’t sure if it would actually trick the system making it think the Flap is still there? Hence “Protects the actuator plug from the elements when using a non valved exhaust” Sounds pretty much like a protector cap for the rain,rocks etc.. not sure tho.

Can you leave the actuator plugged in, and zip tie it away like the Dinan exhaust does?

It's not just a cover. I have it since I want the valves open all the time. It's got a built in resistor to emulate the valve motor so the car doesn't see a fault. I've had it for years

Probably, but it may eventually go away on its own. Also, I'm not sure about that zip tie location. In the DINAN instructions its tucked inside a panel. That seems pretty exposed, but maybe would be fine.
