Sst exhaust flap control **new product**

If shipping lead time is same as direct order from SST, you guys need to be very patient. I ordered it from SST on July 30 and they still didn't ship! It showed "shipped" on DHL system but no progress from initial tracking(only electronically transmitted).

It’s half the price and it has 4 valve functions instead of 2. Other than that it’s the same.

Dahler does open or stock. I guess I don’t see why u need to close per say? Yea it’s a function but I don’t see anyone actually wanting that. You buying controller to open the valves.
With regards to price people have had negative experience with this product prior to update.

Nobody has had a negative experience with this maybe you are thinking of the vsc controller.

Would “serial” mode be more like stock functionality where the M1/M2 buttons can control the valves?

Correct

If the item is drop shipped, its with DHL express which takes a few days to be delivered. as far as im aware this is the fastest shipping option possible.

It costs us $50 but we only charge customers $20 and cover the rest out of our own pocket.

If the item is shipping from us, we ship same day using UPS ground / Fedex home and you'll receive the package 2-4 business days after.

we have been selling Dahler for a while, no issues reported.
I prefer the SST because its got the same features but its half the price.

You're definitely thinking of the vcs2 junk, not this one. It also has 50% open unlike the dahler.

Ordered from Mike yesterday, and I got ordered DHL tracking in my inbox today.

M3YEC · 08-15-2023, 05:09 PM

Just placed my order. Thanks again Mike!

I installed an AWE Switchpath this weekend with the non-res Midpipe, it sounds better in the top end with the valves more open. I think this should make it perfect with the option to keep them open down low.

LGT39 · 08-15-2023, 08:16 PM

Thanks Mike! Just ordered one. Hopefully the first of many mods to come.

You will have to remove the driver side rear wheel aluminum cover and black plastic to gain access the the rubber grommet (in the photo). Then just plug the harness and route along the OEM valve cabling. Super easy.

What’s the reason SST has to installed this way vs Dahler where it stay under the car?

Origin: Made in Germany
Installation location: either in the trunk of your car or behind the bumper (controller is waterproof)

And my other question is 3rd Mode (Serial) is OEM setting ?
