New Valvetronic Exhaust video

[whitewater]

Interesting warning papadop. After reading all the replies, I'm getting to the point of just staying with the standard factory system and living with it. Who knows, maybe I'll grow into liking the blowoff sound. That would avoid any warranty problems down the road and fussing with codes. The one thing that really annoys me are those intermittent electrical problems. We didn't have to deal with those as much in the old days, and with my age-related disabilities, getting on the floor or squeezing around the engine bay trying to diagnose an intermittent or chronic electrical problem is not going to happen. And getting raped at a service center is not particularly pleasant either.

There's so much good knowledge on this forum, I want to thank all that have helped me sort through this issue. So damn the torpedoes, it's full speed ahead!

If you do decide to buy an i4 Emira, look at the mach5 threads floating around. I believe some have videos where you can hear a sport cat downpipe paired with straight catback exhaust

Best mods are GRP 3rd cat deleted, titanium exhaust and his wrapped headers and y-pipes. Car burbles, pops, bangs and shoots out flames. Use header spacers so ECU doesn’t throw a code. It’s like another car. And if it’s too loud then keep it in touring mode and don’t hit WOT! Forget the milltek valve controller because it will just cause you problems. Everyone has been warned plenty of times. Simple is just 3rd cat deleted as Greg honestly mentioned. BTW when am I getting my passenger air bag delete sensor…LOl…Funny not funny, but seriously. Luv U brah!!!

ETA is around the 21st on those dang sensors...finally and end date in sight!

Drop a video of your cars sound if you have one. Curious what the difference is like with the Y-pipe , headers. Did you have issues with smell?
