I'm very impressed with the quality overall, the electric valves, not so much. Tips are excellent. The flaps worked all of 1/2 a day and died. Took it back to the shop, they say motor is no good on the valves. Car is deafening at idle, and loud at wide open throttle. I have no secondary cats or resonators. Emailing manufacturer about valves. Will try and get a drive by recorded.

Love to hear a drive by -

- I've never been buzzed or had a close fly-by from a P-51 or Supermarine Spitfire, but I'd hazard a guess this would be close.

That’s one hell of a cold start bro, I would love to see the look on your neighbors face.

Holy shit

joebie3 · 11-02-2023, 06:15 AM

Few years ago I lined up next to a Chevelle in my STi, beautiful build, loud just sitting still. Light changed and we of course lit it up. I had NO idea what I was in for with the noise, it was literally so loud I forgot to shift into 2nd gear LOL - This isn't *THAT* loud, but it's pretty damn loud, I have a feeling at WOT it's intense!

I start it with the garage closed. Once I get a real tune on it, I will have the cold start tuned out. Until then, I have to be HOA compliant and flood the house with exhaust fumes!

Cold start turned off makes a huge difference. You'll miss it when starting the car anywhere other than the house though.

holy smokes. Just listened to your cold start. Maybe you won't miss that lawnmower-powered biplane

Loud AF! Im assuming this is with broken/open valves? Can you use yours to k valves with the system?

Correct, valves are open stuck open on startup. The 45 minutes they worked, it was actually quite on start up. The conversation with manufacturer is below (His responses in Bold black). If he doesn't send a new module, I will take it up with my CC company. I am hoping it doesn't come to that.

Hello, I finally had the exhaust installed. The remote valves worked for one day and then stopped working. I took it back to the shop that did the install, and the motor for the valves is no good. It gets voltage for 3-5 seconds then shuts off. I need to get a new motor for the exhaust valves.

M- Thanks for your feedback

Thanks for the feedback? How are we going to address the bad valve's?

M- We can send a replacement valve, but it's a small item and shipping is not cost effective

M- Check that the plug connecting the valve plugged in properly, you can unplug and plug it in again. And check if both left and right valves are not working or just one valve is not working

The shop took out the control module. It doesn't work. Both valves. I need a new controller. I have a new exhaust that is stuck in open. I can't start the car without my garage closed its so loud. I need you to send a new controller so I have a working exhaust.

M- I see.

Manufacturer sending out new part-

The valves can work with stock motors currently. We will send the control module and motors right away. Tracking number will be given to you once the parcel is dispatched

Mr Lee is the man. My exhaust is waiting for me up north! I got the single midpipe variant and catless downpipes.

I don't want to get too excited for ya but that sounds encouraging. Glad they're taking care of it. Prior to the valves getting stuck open how quiet was it compared to factory "quiet" start?

NoTanks52 · 11-04-2023, 12:36 AM

Sounds like a WW1 airplane, loll

I only used it twice before it broke, but it was very tolerable on cold start up when closed. Zero issues with neighbors.
