S2 111S 2nd exhaust flap thingy.

[sp60]

Just out in the car park on the phone looking the car over..
notice the little pipey thing that operates the valve that opens the second exhaust pipe is not connected. Also notice that it is wire tied up, so someone has done it deliberately. Does this mean the second pipe is always open or always closed?!
Why would someone have done this? It doesn't appear to have corroded or anything.
Think I may have a go at re-attaching it before going home.

cheers peeps, hope your all enjoying the weather

Some people do it to keep the flap open so both exit pipes are used at all times.

It'll just sound a bit louder than normal at lower revs and is nothing to worry about since it opens up anyway at high revs.

Does that make any sense?!

[sp60]

Yup, perfect sense thanks
Think I'll attach it back just to see the difference!

Don't bother, you'll only put it back again... shortly before investing in a Larini

hehe, i have re-attached it, but it no longer seems to function!
Both exhausts are still active with pipe attached, doens't seem to be any vacuum coming through the pipe.
Further investigation clearly needed...

Oh, and I'm quite a fan of keeping cars standard these days...dunno why really, I do reasonable milage in mine
at the moment, so a quieter exhaust suits me more.

Cheers for comments
