It does log a broken circuit scan in VCDS that is easily cleared - not sure how much notice a dealer would take though I'd imagine they'd just clear it.
Does opening the exhaust flaps reduce economy and power at lower rpm?

I am lead to believe that it will log a fault, BUT it does not bring the light on.
i do not have access to VCDS, but i do have various other diagnostic equipment (with intention of getting VCDS in due course) so before i take the vehicle in for any work, i would plug them back in and clear any code that may be set.
i wouldn't want to be held responsible for saying "it doesn't set a code" as i cant guarantee that, I've not even bothered checking due to no EML being on the dash, thus it doesn't bother me and I'm reaping the rewards of having them disconnected.
It does log a fault, which can be read and/or cleared with VCDS.

Now you tell me, I just put a larger bore exhaust on...Normally, when boy racers fit big bore exhausts, it results in less power, not more (wrong gas flow velocity)
I would say that your Mrs. was probably reacting to the change in sounds, rather than actually detecting more response/power!

I may have to do this!
