Sport Exhaust System (I­no.XLF)
Information:
Retrofitting
Model Year:
As of 2009
Restriction:
ONLY in conjunction with sports tailpipe (I­no. XLS).
Engine Types:
MA120 = 2.9­liter and MA121 = 3.4­liter
INFORMATION:
In the sports exhaust system, the signal for activating the flaps in the main mufflers comes from the respective current map in the DME
control unit. This depends on the driving status and the accelerator pedal position among other things.
The sports exhaust system can be activated using a new switch console with the additional "Twin tailpipe" button (close to the center
console).
The regulating time after pressing the button, determined by the response time of the pneumatics, is approx. 2 ­ 3 seconds. The sports
exhaust system is active if the diode in the "Twin tailpipe" button lights up.
Engine power and exhaust behaviour of the vehicle are not affected. The sports exhaust system is also available as a factory installed
option for new vehicles by requesting optional equipment "XLF".

Page 17
Start the vehicle.
Depending on the vehicle status, the "sports exhaust system" is activated for 2 to 3 seconds because there is no
vacuum at the main silencers. The exhaust flaps are open and the exhaust motor noise can be heard clearly.
As the vacuum at the main mufflers increases, the exhaust flaps close and the sound of the exhaust motor eases off.
The "sports exhaust system" is not active.
The diode in the "Sport" or "Twin tailpipe" button does not light up when you start the vehicle.

Copyright ? 2013, ALLDATA
Press the "Sport" or "Twin" tailpipe button.
After a regulating phase of around 2 to 3 seconds, the exhaust flaps open and the sound of the exhaust motor can be
heard clearly. The "sports exhaust system" is active.
The diode in both buttons ("Sport" and "Twin tailpipe") lights up.
The correct function of the sports exhaust system can also be checked at any time by getting a second person to
perform a visual inspection of the regulating movement (linkage at the exhaust flaps).
