Hey there,
Did they elaborate what “wonky” means? please DM us the shops information. we will reachout and confirm that you are all set for install.

Nothing wonky on my end so far on install. Will post clips early each week.

Is there a reason you're using the factory hanger mounts on the rear axle support?

A&L (IND shop for body) did the install. I can ask.

I think that’s where you’re supposed to mount it. Maybe Valvetronic can confirm this.

Yes but they supply black rubber hangers with multiple holes for altering alignment height.

Hey guys, I’ve had my set for about 2 weeks now and thought I’d post a review about it. Overall, I think that it’s an absolute beauty of an exhaust. The flexibility that the valve controller gives this exhaust is actually pretty amazing. With the valves closed, I think that it’s actually quieter than stock. With the valves open, it opens up to be a joy to listen to aside from destroying ear drums 😅 There’s a bit of drone at lower speeds but it’s not as bad as I thought it would be. If you drive listening to music/audiobooks, it doesn’t impede your drive and ability to enjoy the car. The burbles become a whole lot more noticeable and sound pretty good. Not much to comment there. While this is an amazing exhaust, I think it’s slightly quiet when you’re not doing WoT or the initial cold start. I think that this exhaust is the best sounding if not one of the best on the market. Feel free to ask questions or other videos y’all would like to hear. Not the best quality but I tried to record some videos on how it sounds

Just got notification from X-PH that mine was shipped

[chris3g]

Anyone got their titanium system and have any comments on the fitment and quality ?

Waiting on oem downpipe gaskets to arrive, should have together by Friday and let you know if no one else chimes in. In hand, no noticeable gripes.

I have the full Ti exhaust, I had some issues with the fitment. 1. Midpipe was scraping with the exhaust brace 2. Pipes right before the muffler were hanging too low.
When getting this installed just be mindful of these issues. Otherwise it's a good exhaust!

Do you have their drop down chassis brace? It's shipping with all new systems. "Equal length" currently on their website is the updated version.

Considering either a full Valvetronic equal-length system or Remus race. I'm EU so would be deleting opf's, secondary cats and res. It's really difficult to decide based on videos.

I like the sound of the Valvetronic but in some videos it sounds quite tame and not very loud. Can someone describe how much louder than stock it is? And is a valve controller necessary to get the best out of it?

The Remus race sounds more aggressive but I'm not sure if that will be too loud?!

Primary complain about Remus race is the drone. Not sure on the differences in the diapers, but VT is definitely quite loud. I think you'd be happy with both. There's no way I'd ever get a Remus because they're charging an arm and leg for tips.

Just picked up mine from install. Holy sweet Jesus… I have catless DPs and cold start is serious. If it wasn’t for the valve controller I would regret it. However, valves open and this bitch wakes up like it took a hit of crack. Install was a little bit of a pain probs due to my DPs, but worth it. Also the carbon tips look money.

Would recommend to a friend.

So happy you are enjoying! Send some sound clips our way!

I'm also thinking about purchasing either the full system or midpipe only.

I'm based in the EU, what is the difference between the US and EU versions? Will the US version fit if I delete the cats and opf filters? Is a ECU unlock necessary or just OPF delete cables so no CEL are displayed?

Thanks

A bunch of very good questions here. Let’s tackle each one step by step:

Currently, the system is not designed for the EU market, as it does not have a OPF bungs. we are working with a partner in the UK to assist in the EU market so stay tuned for an OPF compatible system soon.

if you delete the cats and have OP, after leads, you will still need to have the OPF sensors in the exhaust in order for them to not have a check engine light. This is what I schaefchen did with our full exhaust.

No ECU reprogramming is needed, you will just need the deletes + the sensor bungs to put into the new exhaust

hopefully this helps!

Thanks for the quick reply.

If I understand correctly, getting the US version will require one of the options below:

1. A ECU tune to work without CEL
2. Getting an exhaust shop to add bungs to the exhaust so the sensors can be installed ( no ECU tune required?)

One more thing that came to my mind - how is the fitment for these if I were to install the US version on a EU car? I've seen that some users had problems in the past, has this been revised?

Waiting for a compatible EU version would allow me to install the exhaust with just OPF delete cables (no ECU tune required) as it has the bungs installed?

Thanks

That is correct,
Fitment has been corrected and is now rock solid.

Yes that is correct if you were to wait

[BmwFanBoy94]

What if you had something like Awron flap control module which also deletes the CEL…

Would that mean we could run your midpipes with just the delete cables and no bungs…?

For anyone looking to get their setup, we are running a group buy!
