Quick video comparing the 2:

1st - Exhaust in its loudest setting, stock. WOT inputs up to 6,000RPM

2nd - Flaps 100% Open using SST controller. WOT inputs up to 6,000RPM

Difference, as you can hear, is not night and day. Couldn’t tell if it’s much louder while driving either.

The selling point to me is being able to have a loud exhaust in Efficient, as opposed to turning on Sport+, which is a mode that is far from ideal.

Cost me 260 euros shipped to Canada.

Pretty simple controller and install. 0 difficulty.

For the purpose of increased volume in sport+, sounds like not worth it?

I’d say you’d be disappointed. Unless there’s a slight gain in volume and depth that’s more noticeable in very high RPM and load (when the turbo is really pushing, something you can’t do in neutral while parked).

I’ll report back if I hear more of a difference when I can open it up and change the exhaust on the fly using the remote.

I for one thought it’d be enough for me to turn off ASD. It doesn’t seem like I’ll be turning off ASD.

Now I have a full exhaust with mine but there is a definite noticeable difference (on a cold start and idle, in addition to driving under load). I cant compare because it was installed with and part of the Valvetronic exhaust.

It it is truly fully opened, there should also be a performance benefit, especially in sport/sport + modes.

Following up.
The car definitely sounds “angrier” when driven. There’s a slight drone from the back end at 120km/h in 6th gear, but not obnoxious.

I like it. The sound is really angry now.
This in Efficient always. Sport+ would give it the burbles.
