It'll be really easy to tell if it's closed in cold weather...you'll have exhaust coming from only one side on startup. Pretty easy to put the fuse back in and start over.

My car has been running flawlessly and it always makes me happy hitting remote start and walking up to the car!
I understand it is pretty easy to check and reset but my point is it is not a 'set and forget it' kind of mod. One should keep checking if the flap has closed every time to avoid possible issues as mentioned in the x3 post.

Just a friendly warning to others who might have missed possible issue with this mod.
