Best Valve Controller Option w/o cat back

I plan to buy the Diann high flow x pipe /mid pipe which removes the resonators and replaces them with the x pipe in an attempt to even out the tone of the exhaust.

I also plan to add on the Dinan carbon intake and to complete the exhaust upgrade with the final piece being a valve controller. My hope is this should allow for a cleaner and adjustable tone up and down. Louder with the ability to lower.

I’d like to get suggestions on the best valve controller to go with and wanted some recommendations. I’ve seen SST, Dahler, Dinan and I’m sure other makers but what’s the pros and cons of each or experiences with any of these?

I’d love to hook it up to the garage door opener in the cabin or other existing cabin switch rather than a remote so any info on what’s best / experiences with that would be helpful. Thanks.

Our valve controller offers a straightforward, plug-and-play setup that’s compatible with both single-valve and dual-valve vehicles. No need for power or ground wiring—it’s as simple as connecting directly. With an IP67 water-resistance rating, it’s safe for mounting inside or outside the vehicle.

The controller includes two high-quality remotes, but you can also use your vehicle's HomeLink for easy access. Control options include OEM Mode, 50% Mode, and 100% Mode, giving you flexible management of your vehicle's exhaust valves.

Second this. Main module is mounted in the battery compartment; wires flow out of either side, down to the valve servos.

There are many different options, and they all get the job done. Get the one you like the most, and that fits your budget.

Awron is an option too since it uses oem control and no fob / remote.

But the others mentioned above are far more common / popular on here for sure. Can't go wrong with any of them.
