Does the 135 have an exhaust flap?

I had a chance to check out the exhaust while on a lift, but forget to see if we had a flap. Can anyone confirm yes/no?

Search for "golf tee". We certainly do have the flap.

Thanks, I knew the 335 had one, but wasn't sure about the 1.

What do you mean a flap? in The exhaust kinda like how the vw R32 had? When you take it out does it generate more power? and what is it there for? Sound detnation?

Yep, like the R32 had. It is a vacuum actuated flap that closes during low rpm driving.

When you perform the golf tee mod, it essentially makes the car slightly louder during the conditions when it would normally be closed and some people say they can feel a slight difference in performance.

Yes, it has a flap. You'll hear it when you start the car up. It makes a audible clunk sound.
