How to Open the Exhaust Valve on a BMW M4?
1 Answers
The exhaust valve on the BMW M4 is controlled by a butterfly valve installed in the piping, which automatically opens when the turbocharger is operating. Below is an introduction to the BMW M4's exhaust system: 1. The BMW M4 features two exhaust pipes on each side, with one control valve typically kept open while the other is automatically controlled by the vehicle's computer based on engine output. 2. The valve flaps in the BMW M4's dual exhaust system are primarily designed to optimize exhaust noise. By closing one exhaust pipe, the system reduces noise at low RPMs (especially during ignition). The valve opens at higher RPMs, usually around 2500 RPM, to minimize airflow noise at high speeds, reduce backpressure in the exhaust system, and decrease power loss.
