Not in stock currently. Also kind of hard to justify for the price! I will probably mess with the valves one day and see what it sounds like fully open
Yeah it's a fair bit of money for what it is, but ultimately, they haven't got the failure rates the CG ones do (I'm yet to hear of a single one go funny). Hopefully they've sorted their quality issues and you'll be fine 👍🏻.

I cancelled the order. I don't need to put myself in a position where I am dealing with warranty claims. Been there done that!

They had one bad batch; all the warranty claims are from that shipment.

We have been offering this product for years; I don't recall getting a warranty claim until last month.

The issue has been fixed; it only affects the products sold from that bad batch.

I been using my VSC2 for couple weeks now, no issues.
I absolutely love how the car sounds w/ my ER Crossover pipe+Full AA Catback (non-res midpipe) and valves fully open.
I have mine setup as:
Default-auto/oem
ON-Fully open

That way on start up car is just like OEM so I can keep valves closed/open by choice on cold starts.

I have ApexBuilt GESI catted DP's being delivered this week I plan to have installed next week and I'm sure the insanity of the car with those will be even more sick.

We have the same setup except mine is on stock downpipes, we will be posting a side-by-side video once Nick installs the downpipes.

I have the same setup (VSC-2) and looks like this setting wasn't included in the faulty batch.
Mine works perfectly fine so far.

The more I listen to the fully open flap, the more I'm noticing the deeper exhaust tone! Love the way it sounds!

If you’re expecting a night and day difference, you’re wasting your money. If the cold start wasn’t so obnoxious…I would just wire my valves open manually.

Sound is really subjective but I think it’s safe to say on a mild to wild scale of 1-10 this is between 4 and 5.
I disconnected my valves before actually doing the flap mod but reconnected because I sometimes want the quite interior. Even turning off exhaust button in comfort it bothered me some days. Glad I didn't cut my resonators.

Unbelievable. Good for you. I'm over 2 months now waiting. Something is F'ed up with my order and there are no answers to give to understand why.

That is odd. I was told it would be awhile at first also and ended up getting mine shipped out (comes direct from VSC) and was about 2 weeks of waiting I think.

So very unfortunate you’ve been waiting that long or anyone else.
Definitely isn’t Mike’s fault, at least.

That’s a perfect illustration of the subjective nature of sound.

Do you have active sound coded off? That was the first thing I did and the car is very quiet without it.

No, I didn't and I actually one of the few that doesn't mind it. My routine is when I first get up in the mornings, I don't want to hear until I fully wake up and I after I eat, I'm hitting sports plus...lol

Wow, I believe we placed our order on the same day and mine arrived in about 2 weeks.
Only thing different is the setting.
I wonder if there are any H/W differences, or settings that restrict them to manufacturing same settings in batches.
Nevertheless, it shouldn't take this long.
I understand your frustration.

Thanks Mike. I really think they forgot about me or must know me from a past life and not like me.

Yep. And I'm sure Mike is tired of hearing from me on it. I'm sure he will figure it out hopefully now that it's way off vs other orders.

To the body or above the valve/exhaust itself?
