Get a different installer. I mounted mine in an hour using just a floor jack.

Ha ha ! That's pretty bad though, considering the price of the unit. I don't think I'll buy an Akra somehow.

Yes I will, they told me to go to shop specialized in BMW and I will post a video for the sound soon

You removed the entire exhaust and reverted back to stock?

At the least you should have communication with the control kit allowing the valves to open under factory operation as opposed to using the Akrapovic Sound Kit.

Finally the flaps are working now

They changed both modules that responsible to open and close the flaps and it's fine now

Thanks all for your comments and help, and soon I will post a video for the exhaust sound.

The install itself is pretty straightforward. The remote (Sound Kit) you purchased uses what Akrapovic calls a "can sniffer." The two wires that correspond to the valves (yellow/red & yellow/brown) are placed into the can sniffer.

When we mounted the Akrapovic, we left the trunk liner out to ensure we had the right wires. Akrapovic's manual states there may be 2 sets of wires that have the same color. We saw 3.

Make sure all the connections are tight on the control kit as well. You should see a green light on it if the devices are communicating.

Pairing the Sound Kit shouldn't require much. Just hold it close to the Control Kit and press & hold the button. Again this will only work if the right wires are on the can sniffer and it is communicating with the Control Kit. Check pages 14 & 15 of the manual for more help on that. The light on ther remote indicates the status.

That aside, there is absolutely no coding/programming/etc. that needed to be done.

There's really no telling what was done by the initial installer. You (definitely) have to pull the trunk liner out and see what was done. The Akrapovic manual is very clear.

Report back with any updates. I'll do my best to be of any assistance.

Hi, buddy. I have my M2 installed MPE exhaust. Other M2 owner and I have the same problem. We opened the valves, but the valves would randomly closed by itself. The other owner also posted this http://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1319784 please check this link out.

I sent my car to the dealership, they checked all the wires had the power. So there must be the bluetooth interference problem. It is so annoying to reopen the valves often. Did you see this problem before? And any suggestion about it?
Thank you.

I haven't heard of this. I'll look into it and get back to you. I know, in stock form, the valves won't stay open in some cases to avoid drone. I don't think that's the case with the bluetooth on the MPE.

When I open the valves on my F80 they stay open even when I turn off the engine until next startup.

If only you could get rid of that BT remote... I hate it both on the JCW and M2 set ups. Just not the best set up out there.
