Driving on the highway in sport with them open you can hear it very slightly. With music on I basically cannot hear it at all. When they are closed it is like stock or even quieter than stock with no drone at all.

I am just going to scrap it, do need for it and no space. I plan on keeping this car for a long time so not really worried about the resale issue.

I do not, the box came with all of the different parts packaged like sardines, very well packaged and I was not going to remove it all just to put it back in the box. I can try and get some pictures of the underside for you all.

1. Do you have the stock downpipe?
2. Get any CELs?
3. Is there a valve controller included? Was that you just toggling between sport+ and comfort mode?
4? Can you comment/post a video of in cabin noise and droning?

Thanks man!

I will just answer in order of your questions.
- Still on stock downpipe
- No CEL or any error lights at all
- There is 2 valve controllers (very premier feeling btw, they are metal not plastic) These remotes completely override the stock system and you have to use the remote to close or open. Benefit is the fact you can now 100% open or close them and not have to deal with the dumb 70% stock ones.
- I will try to get some driving videos uploaded to Youtube and post the links this weekend when I have some time, I got a new phone mount I want to test out anyway.

The communication is literally insane. I have never gotten such good communication even from American companies, their customer service is absolutely outstanding. Even after I got it installed, he was telling me to keep him updated if there were any issues with fitment so he could help and assist. I only went with Titanium because I have always wanted to have one and hey it saves weight

I am debating the titanium M exhaust tips lol. Just looks cool but IDK if it'll work with my Brooklyn Gray car

Glad to hear it helps a lot with the stock droning exhaust. It really is pretty annoying lol.
Well I'll wait for your video on and sound driving it and from the outside to order then! I'm excited lol. Probably gonna box up my stock exhaust and keep it just in case something happens. Plenty of room in the attic

Sounds awesome! Makes me really hate my M Performance exhaust. Even with a DP it’s eh could be way better.

Just ordered this in stainless steel!

[rixY]

sorry for the delay just been insanlly busy. Here is a short clip of the exhaust from inside the cabin. Also testing a new camera POV mount. When the valves are open it sounds absolutely amazing, exactly what the B58 needs. Intake and JB4 soon....

I'm not accusing you of anything but why no pictures of the exhaust? What did it look like? Kinda relevant considering you are probably one of the first forum members to buy one.

[ifound2pac]

I just bought one in stainless steel. I'll post in a month when it gets here IanH

[ifound2pac]

That sounds so good inside the cabin! rixY

Honestly, I just never fully took everything out of the box. It got delivered, I had the appointment and dropped off my car. I am working on getting some pictures of the underside in the next few days. I work at a dealership and am just going to have one of my techs raise it on the life towards the end of the day.

Any other things to note? rixY

Think I'll do a downpipe some day but I think this and a spoiler will keep me happy a long time

For 90% of people this is going to be worth it. I know I want more sound for the future and will get a AA catted downpipe down the road but for a majority of owners this is all they will need. I have a smile every single time I cold start it and just am obsessed with the sound. Again, time will tell regarding quality and if I have any issues but overall, I would recommend this to anyone.

Yeah I'm super excited. One of the most annoying things about this car is the drone present all in the 1500-3000rpm range, the other thing is the lack of burbles/pops/bangs -- i don't need a fart can but a little bit is nice and I really have to push the car to get any decent sound.

What spoiler did you go with (if any?).

I'm looking on AliExpress for one that is ~ OEM+. That and I need to turn my grille and vents into black ones
