Default Cargraphic Valve Control Unit

I purchased a 2023 911 4S and I am having a blast! But coming from aftermarket M3, the car is extremely quiet. I am trying to see if anyone installed Cargraphic Valve Control Unit in their car? (before I look into the aftermarket exhaust) If so, how is it? Thanks!

Quick vid of the installation.....AFTER the install It's really simple to install, this should help answer some questions at least. Tried making a video of the sound, but can't seem to capture the sound right on my iPhone. I'll see if I can try with another camera.

Following.

I have their unit on my Cayman and absolutely love it. I plan to install it on my 911T. I don't know where it plugs into yet, but plan to install it myself. The Cayman install was tricky in that the harness location was hard to reach and I had to remove the entire interior just to access the engine lol. Other than that, it was plug and play.

Totally not true. the OEM EV will open and close continually, regardless of where the switch is at. And the constant changing of the stock valve drove me crazy too.

I have it on my Cayman and the controller still makes a big difference. I have OAP pipes also, which amplifies everything, but otherwise, stock exhaust.

I have PSE and the valve doesn't seem to open until 3k RPM (haven't gone over 5K due to break-in) with the exhaust open

does the controller override the computer and opens and closes as per the clicker ?
so if you open the valves it will stay open all the time?

Yes. They describe it on their web site. You can set the valve to OPEN, CLOSED, OEM (meaning the it's as if Cargraphic is not installed). Much better this way based on my experience with my CGTS4.0. Open is open. Especially nice when driving at lower RPMs, ie, coming in/out of Cars & Coffee where a little rumble at low RPMs is welcomed and appreciated.

I actually was just looking at this. Can anybody advise if When activated it opens the valves all the way. Thus improving the sound.

Having zero experience with this, purely a sound enhancer with maybe a little extra oomph as a result of open valves?
