I have a similar spec on order (should be produced this month) except for the brake calipers; I went with silver. I almost went with red but it looked like a hamburger 🍔

In many states, like mine, the front mount is also “mandatory” but you know…good old American obstinance.

Are there any programming considerations to account for the change in air flow?

1754 have arrived so far. You’re not trying to be like the corvette bros are you……”this is only 1 of 200….” 😂

That’s posted on the USA Canada delivery thread. Nova has a spreadsheet

Yup, they need to get to port in time for the union to go on strike.

But doesn’t the OEM setup open and close with RPM and sport/track selection? I’d think manual closed is going to be quieter than OEM, no?

What would the difference be between the delete pipe and breaking out the media inside the cat? Asking for a friend……

That’s a Lotus question but if I recall from the Emira shipping process the dealers weren’t too happy about storing cars while waiting on CARB approval. I see the same problem here.

Waiting on CARB maybe?

How do you know it hasn’t been produced yet? I have a factory submission ID# but I don’t have a VIN. Perhaps Lotus just didn’t communicate them all to the dealership. I realize that strays from their otherwise stellar communication history.

Like this?

Remove the aftermarket valve control? Sounds reasonable. People seem to forget that some back pressure with the partially closed valves helps to keep the exhaust system running correctly especially at low rpm’s. There’s a reason there are valves and a reason they are closed at certain times.

Lotus would make it more powerful and cost less…..worked last time.

They tried to build it on the Elise platform, it failed. The roadster was ground up with inspiration from Lotus. The chassis can’t handle the configuration of an electric.

50!! Yessum miss Daisy

Leisurely is right…..sheesh it’s the almost vertical pedal on the right my dude.

I don’t think that’s correct. Information from Lotus suggests the valve position in track mode is dependent on the RPM’s albeit slightly more aggressive.

You’re on it.

Is there a recommendation for the hose to replace the stock on the Emira?

Looks like it passed EPA in June. CARB should be close behind, maybe just not reported yet.

This may have been reported already but the EPA site has the i4 cleared. Now just waiting for CARB…..

Sounds good. I got my healthcare from walkitoff.gov

I’m wanting to get the full 360 sentry mode. I know there are aftermarket solutions out there but has anyone experienced one firsthand?

What are they going to replace them with? Same doors so the issue will pop up again in a year

You need to move Porsche WAAAAAYYY down the list. The number 1 way to tell if someone is an asshole is if they’re driving a Porsche.

Is this the same as the “cat delete”?

It’s the valve control though. Like the OP states, if you close it when it shouldn’t be closed you will damage the vehicle. That's had me nervous about the VC even though I like the idea. Accidentally leaving it closed can cause a permanent problem. Dealer will have an easy time denying...

I wouldn’t worry about the lack of marketing emails. I don’t get many either; suspect it has something to do with the very strict laws in Europe and the UK. If you don’t specifically ask for them you won’t get them.

When it comes to the valves in sport or track do they open up relatively quickly when you gas it or is the aftermarket valve control a must have. From what I’ve heard IRL the rev and acceleration noise isn’t super impressive. What about the obligatory burbles? I haven’t heard a stock set up...

And thanks for reminding me I’m stupid…..

Curious they are mentioning the 2.0. That means absolutely nothing with regards to pricing the unit. A 1.0 or 2.0 HY is identical in every way.

Being an auto the deposit date is basically irrelevant. They did all the manuals first so even if they deposited after you they moved ahead because of the spec. Automatics have arrived on the past 2 ships so, I hate to say it, it will be soon

The EPA site is a bit laggy but the i4 has not been posted as passed for the less restrictive EPA standards yet. CARB can probably happen simultaneously but I haven’t heard of an EO yet. Seems likely that Lotus didn’t learn from last time and is going to ship the cars and make the dealers hold...

Not as busy as the dude that came to a car meet in a helicopter. That’s a flex and a half.

Makes sense given the emissions status of the AMG. No sense paying to store them at the port

That’s totally up to you, cars don’t have to make sense

Make sure you handle the tax and registration at the dealership. Another member posted about the headaches he had trying to register his new vehicle in California when he bought out of state.
