Honest Valvetronic Exhaust Full Grade5 Titanium Review

Okay so been seeing a few things around on social media, as well as questions on this exhaust pushing me to do some digging and a review.

The setup I have:
Full System Traditional (Catback) | Grade 5 Titanium | 4.0 Outlet Raw Titanium Burnt
+MAD Downpipe & Big Daddies Mini Cats

To start, the sound is amazing, the perfect amount of rasp when hitting 6.5KRPM+ or quiet, if sound control is pushed.

Follow and look at my IG for a few sound clips:

I have heard of 1 story where someone had a stainless steel variant of this exhaust on his car, that had a rust build up, the problem was fixed by Valvetronic Designs and haven't heard of any other cases. A few other local G8Xs I know are looking into getting it, and were doing review digging.

I have driven this car through a mountainous sleet, rain, and have had no rust or wear.
It has held up 7months strong since original install back in July2022.
There is a new equal length variant that is coming out soon as a pre order.

Not sponsored by them in any way, also have the ApexBuilt Titanium intake to match, and it's been a great combo.

What have been your thoughts on this Exhaust if you have the TITANIUM version like mine?
What other exhausts are you running and why did you choose them?

Allow us to expand us this further. These issues of rusting and corrosion are a non issue at this time. All stainless systems that are T304 will have surface contaminants and discoloration overtime but this is completely normal. In the beginning of us bringing these exhaust to the platform roughly 3 years ago there were some issues but all those have been worked out. I can guarantee you the system you will be purchasing and receiving will be the ulitmate with no compromises.

If you would like to purchase something else, we understand. But if you are looking at our system its probably because your looking for the best sound out of your G80 and no other system on the market gets you the same experience. Its not a cheap system that is for sure but you are getting what is advertised and that is the best sounding G80 setup
