One of the things I like about moving to Tennessee from the UK—no front license plate.

I’ve been debating one of them as well. Want a little more noise but still the option to have it not to annoy the neighbours.

Had one on my F82 but didn’t make much of a difference. My understanding on this platform is the valve doesn’t open fully that often though so should have more of an affect.
Let me know your opinions and I might have to get one myself.

Yeah same here want a little more but think a miltek will be too much tbh.

Your right the valves only open 70% and then only 100% depending on WOT so it should have an effect at low speeds.

Will update

I have one, no regrets. I find it usefull on the highway with my AA Dp & MPE exhaust, with the valve 100% open you get the drone at the low RPMs when cruising in D. Closing the valve, quiet as stock. I keep it open the rest of the time.

Before I did the exhaust & Dp, I just pulled the fuse and left the valve open, it wasn't much louder. You need the exhaust upgrades, to really get much louder.

I’m interested in the Remus, as like the idea of 2 proper valves and it actually using an exit per side even with the valves closed.
But there rather pricey, with the OPF’s not sure it will make a huge difference for the cost.

Look forward to hearing your thoughts. Would probably still want some control over it even if I want the exhaust route.
Had the VSC2 before but apparently they don’t play nice with G series cars.

I like the look of the Dinan one for the same reasons, but doubt it would be cheap having to import it

Fitted the SST exhaust flap control and fitted the remote into the door bin with velcro for easy access without it being on show.

It isn't loud enough to be worth it on it's own (does increase the burbles slightly) but I'm in the process of importing an MPE from the states and think in conjunction with that should be a great addition, fingers croosed.
