mike@x-ph.com Do you regularly stock extra remotes? I ordered my SST with one, but I'm thinking I probably should've grabbed 2.

i recommend staying with one remote, no reason to buy one if you are not going to use it

If you ever need one, you can buy it later

we do have extra remotes in stock

I’ve been thinking about getting this valve controller. For any of you who have this installed, does option C return it to OEM functionality? It looks like option B permanently closes the valves and could potentially cause some harm if you get on it too much. I would like the option to revert it to stock functionality when I want a cruise in comfort and not attract too much attention lol.

Yes, one of the buttons defeats the the settings & returns OEM valve control. I believe it's button C (might be D). And you can program buttons to the homelink buttons in the mirror!!

4 settings:

100% open
100% closed (very quiet, only use for road driving, don't get on it)
OEM settings
50% open

Nice, thanks for the response and explaining that! I think I’ll stick to those 2 buttons, 100% open and OEM settings. I went ahead and placed my order yesterday, so I should get it by the end of the week.

There is no doubt about it - flip from OEM to 100% open and the difference is really noticeable. Louder and deeper tone. Not crazy, no drone, but a worth-it mod for sure if you want more exhaust sounds inside & out.

i can vouch this is a very likely possibility. i had a FI exhaust system on my f85 X5M manual valve control. Truck was stage 2/3 with high flow cats.

on a weekend trip i had to valet the car. the valves were left closed. when i left the hotel the next night i heard a loud exhaust sound at could start and just loud exhaust driving home. it appears that one of the connect points were blown off from the other. i assume the valet had some nice joyrides in my car pushing the car till its limits and just too much air movement with the valves closed.

so lesson learned, leave the valves open or in stock mode if someone else is planning to drive the car

if the valves are forced into a closed position and the engine is pushed to its limits, this could indicate that the valves weren't operating as they would under standard conditions. Normally, the valves would open slightly when the throttle is fully engaged.

While I'm not sure why you would choose to do this, still the likelihood of causing damage in this scenario is minimal.

However, if concerns about such uncommon and unlikely scenarios are significant for you, it may be best to keep it stock.

With the SST, you can set a default mode for when the car is started, makes sense to set OEM default. Quieter cold start and no concerns with flow.

I always set them open but with the cold start turned off.
