it would be great if someone could just integrate this into the OEM exhaust button. I guess that would make it non-reversible though.

Dood, it literally took 2 seconds to search the Google! Just kidding. But in the spirit of Rennlist: https://valvetronic.com/products/por...lve-controller

Yes,Soul valved side deletes and M&M center delete so no mufflers
There was a lengthy side delete thread a while back and I posted quite a bit of info
Not all side deletes match up to a center delete-

Does the valves actually make a difference in the no muffler scenario? Look at the pipes it seems there is no difference between the two paths(open vs closed valve).

Thank you. Pretending turned into actual work. Hate it when that happens.

No SWerks tune for anyone ?

Yes, the valves make a difference. If I'm driving mellow I leave them closed, and especially warming up as I drive off. Once I'm driving I usually keep them open, and close them to use the phone.
I've posted the pic of the Super Cup exhaust-mine is sort of like it except I have the valves-but Super Cups probably have 100 cel cats or none at all-so I'm close to the sound of some of these Rallye cars. But with them open and just touching the gas pedal it's not hell on earth. It is if you're wide open tough

Also, I did it for dropping the weight and I suppose the improved cooling and air flow. The only way to tell if I'd like it was to install it and see what it's like. On the 991 forums quite a few members did the same thing, but I'm told the 991 cars are quieter inside probably due to extra insulation

Uncork the sound of your glorious engines.
With this controller, I supposed the 2 modes are “stock / variable” and "always open"? Is that correct?
