Golf Tee Mod

Sam335ix · 10-28-2011, 11:37 AM

So I tried it today, I noticed a little bit of a difference but nothing major. I bent down and looked at the pipe while I had disconnected the line, the flap was half open... I plugged the line back in and shut the car off and restared, the flap is still half way open.. So, did I reconnect even though its still half open? I let it run for a few minutes and it stayed open...

Did you drive it yet? The sound at idle is increased slightly, but IMO the biggest difference with the golf tee mod is driving around at low rpms/burbling all over the place when letting off the gas :P

Bend down
Disconnect left exhaust black rubber hose(vaccum line) plug the line, i use 3 layers of duct tape to ensure a proper seal but you an use wtv.
And drive it around, you WILL hear it at low rpms!

Waste of time IMO. If you can swing it just get an exhaust. Did the golf tee and the only difference it made was in my mind

With catless downpipes the golf tee mod definitely produces a audible difference

Just get DPs and or muffler/resonator delete. If you are only after sound its the cheapest way.
