Agency Power BMW E60M5 and E60M6 Valvetronic Exhaust Guide(click here for product page)
These steps follow the numbered images.
It is recommended that you perform the installation with the car on a lift.
Starting from the engine bay
1. Locate where the brass three way valve will be installed. It is under a plastic
cover to the left of the brake booster.
2. Connect one way check valve to center port in brass check valve that runs to the
vacuum canister at the rear of the car. This hose will run down the firewall to the
frame rail.
At the rear of the car
3. Mount the vacuum canister close to the sway bar bushing bracket.
4. Mount the electronic valve. Run the wires with the vacuum hose to the front of
the car along the frame rail. You will connect the vacuum hose to the center port
of the three way valve.
Use the T fittings to connect the hoses to the vacuum canister and each of the
valves located at each muffler.
Power and Ground
5. Locate a power source to connect the red wire. The fourth fuse from the left is a
good source or you can use the battery.
6. Connect your brown ground wire. You can use a bare metal location on the
chassis or the negative battery terminal. Make sure the paint has been removed
from the body where it contacts.
7. Locate the Throttle Position sensor wire. It is a white wire with a green stripe
located under the accelerator pedal. You will use the supplied connector to
connect the yellow wire to the throttle position wire.
8. You will now have the harness connected to a power source, a ground and the
throttle position wire. Mount the control box in a safe location like the glove box.
9. Wire crimping diagram.
10. Neatly organize wires and vacuum hose running along frame rail.
11. Shows vacuum hose being run to three way valve under hood.
12. Shows three way valve completely connected. One way check valve is installed
in the hose running to the rear of the car.
To set the valve electronics adjust the left knob to desired throttle setting. For
example, if you want the valves to open at 80% throttle turn the knob just over 3/4 of
the rotation range.
After insatalling the exhaust, is it requried to program the car
No you don’t. Thanks for the comment. You can email sales@agency-power.com with any inquiries as well.
IN A MERCEDEZ BENZ C63 WHAT WIRE ITS FOR CONNECT THE YELLOW CABLE.. BECAUSE ITS NOT THE SAME COLORS IN A BMW
Find the plug for the throttle pedal then, get a multimeter and read the one that changes resistance as you push the pedal this will be the one that is the 5 volt source wire then tap into that one. Or you would have to back probe the wires with the car running and find the 5 volt source wire. Hope that helps. We did not do an install on a Mercedes, so we can’t say 100%.
Thanks
