I swear the power changes by the moment, sometimes it sounds like a Subaru right before I get the reduced power warning, other moments it's a scalded ape...no rhyme or reason. I'll check that vacuum hose mentioned in the above pics because it looks easy until I can find more time this weekend.

Travis1807 created a custom intake and CCV lines that'll delete the BMW plastic lines in the top picture, I bought everything from him, but that doesn't solve the rubber vacuum lines. I've looked on eBay for heat resistant silicone vacuum lines, sounds like it's something we should all do regardless since these random issues keep happening to many others.
I left you a couple of pictures of where the lines are in correlation to the muffler in the other thread. Bottom of first page.

If you get underneath the vehicle and don't see the lines by the bumper then they may have been removed by the shop that installed your muffler.

Not sure if that's the solution to your problem, but...
