Well, given the location of the valve on the round tips, there is no reason why they could not have included it on the 50i tips. After all, they did design them specifically for our cars. The drone is more annoying than the low end torque problem, noticed it also with cruise control at 60 mph around 1800 rpm.... but they do look quite nice! ...if you tilt your head slightly to right to make up for the slant
