Remove Exhaust Burbles without Voiding Warranty?

What's the best way to remove the exhaust burbles without having to code and jeopardize voiding my warranty?

I like to have stealth fun

I also wanted to do this but was already planning on tuning my car. First flash the burbles were all turned off...sounds so much better without the rice.

I am also going to tune the burbles out eventually, but first I want to disable the ASD and see how it sounds.

To me the burbles are in the same class as the ASD, a fake noise put there to make people think they have some insane car.

I love a good overrun sound, but hate synthetic or "engineered" noises for the poser status. To me the burble and popcorn tunes are just that. They don't add performance.

A grown ass man driving around in a luxury car that's made to sound like a $500 Honda Civic with a leaking exhaust pipe is not a good look.

I could take the burbles in small moderations or if sounds subtle, like a percolating coffee maker but otherwise, one looks like a complete douche in rush hour traffic, gunshots aloud, annoying fellow motorist.

Only two weeks with the car and enjoying the cracks and pops when in Sport+ but I definitely go Eco mode when I reach my neighborhood! 😇

I have a BM3 Stage 1 and I actually have the burbles set to OEM because I found the tune sound setup to be too aggressive.

haha, yeah it seems like every tune is like "turn the burbles up to 11".

Local guy who would run some tracks with an F80 who had his burbles turned to max it seemed. since then he has turned them almost off, i guess that got annoying.

I do the same. Unfortunately a number of other residents dont. Some douche nozzle loves to rev up his engine at 1am. Then there are the douche buckets that pump their funky fresh bass tunes while driving in and out of the neighborhood.

To me the burbles are not much different than the fake engine noise piped into the speakers. Both are enhancements and to the taste of the vehicle owner. Personally, I disconnected the ASD and prefer the engine's sound as it comes from the exhaust.

I want to disconnect the ASD too. Seems like the audio is looping, or at least I hear a looping sound when I keep the revs at the same speed.
