Hi All,
I've been fighting with this stupid poorly designed exhaust flap in one of my rear back boxes. Boost has been restricted to about 40% because of this flap for weeks. Changed an actuator/motor which must have been fried from trying to move the seized flap. The error code when plugged into Xentry was 'Actuator 2 blocked'. The new actuator made no difference initially. Physically Poked the flap which made it nice and free, greased it - it was fantastic for 24hrs. Seized again today and I've just had enough of it.
Mad how one stupid little flap can cause so much head ache. Cant remove the flaps because they can't be coded out apparently so flaps need to be there.
My car is a Stage 2, i.e catless downpipes (Redstar) and a stage 2 tune. 740bhp and 830lb ft.
If I went for an aftermarket exhaust, what are my options? I don't need downpipes and I'd like to retain the performance exhaust button in the cabin.

Or I just suck it up and buy a new performance exhaust from Mercedes.
What's your thoughts?
