Eisenmann Black series fitted - Power loss

I have fitted Eisenmann back boxes to my X6 M, but I am now experiencing significant power loss - almost like limp mode -

Any advise will be highly appreciated.

The Eisenmann exhaust is a rear muffler section so I am confused as to how this can cause a power loss. When the install was performed did the technician mess with anything on the front of the exhaust (with the sensors)

If you are experiencing Significant Power Loss then I would recommend you to take the car to the dealer workshop and ask them to run the test from their computer. Some car can do self adaptation but some just cannot do their adaptation properly and need to be reseted by the dealer.

I am sure it's not a big deal .......

Good Lucks

It is a mystery to me. We did not touch the front section of the exhaust.

If it doesn't improve within the next 100 km (management system might have to re-learn) then I will do a re-map.

Thanks for the input, I will keep you guys posted.

I guess it is possible if the lines are not plugged with a stopper or screw the computer can interpret a vacuum leak.
