335i mpe on 328i

Hi everyone!
Im kinda new to bmw's so don't flame me haha. I want to get a MPE for my 328i but I want to get the 335i/340i style one to get the dual side pipes. my question is what is the fitment like and which one should I go for. My second question is does it have flaps and if it does could I just unplug the valves sensor to keep them open at all times.

I have the 335i mpe on my 328i, installation was pretty simple but you need an adapter to fit the mpe to the midpipe Bc the mpe is a bigger pipe. The 335i mpe does have the valve and can be unplugged to remain open. I'm actually planning to sell it soon if you're interested

how would you keep it open? would I just have to put a dummy plug into it and sure I would be interested if you are willing to sell it.

So I just unplugged it while it was open and wrapped it with electrical tape and zip tied it out of the way. That seemed to do the trick. Recently plugged it back in and it all works fine.

Where are you located? I just ordered a new exhaust yesterday so I can sell it once I got that on

I had this exact setup, it is valved when you go into sport. Any muffler shop can do it no problem

you can also code it for valve to be open. I didn't think it did anything at first but when I was driving in a parking lot, I noticed when I tapped on the gas, I heard (what I assume is) the valve opening

good to know, I heard you can just plug a dummy plug into the sensor and it should do the trick, somebody told me if you buy the m240i mpe you can save a few bucks as well
