Hey guys. Sorry, I know I suck taking so long here. Out of town this weekend now for kids soccer tournament. Exhaust sounds really good. Great cold start, no drone, and not obnoxiously loud when cruising. If you get after it the thing really wakes up. I’ll get a pop or two out of it in sport plus mode on some downshifts or if I rev it on a cold start. If you ask me it hits the sweet spot of being aggressive enough without being too ridiculous. Overall, I am happy with my purchase and would recommend. I promise sounds clips soon. Thanks for patience with me.

I responded to his "sponsorship" program for another platform and the image he sent was almost identical to the Alibaba version. He also refused to reply when I asked him if it was from Alibaba.
Looking at these they all seem to say for ‘19 to ‘23 - so pre LCI. Did anyone see any for LCI? Are the pre LCI compatible for cat back on the LCI?

The moment you’ve all been waiting for. This is a cold start in my garage in Sport Plus mode. I have the valves open using the controller that was provided. I close the valves around 48 seconds in and you notice it calms down for the last few seconds.

Apologies for my rookie video.

Very nice sound. Any chance you could do a comparison video of valves open vs closed after rhe cold start cycle is fully complete?
That sure seems like it was worth the wait. Any pics of the system installed or before?

Yes, I’m very happy with it. I was just looking for some extra growl and this definitely does the job. Not worth paying $5k if you ask me for the ones that are out there now. For more than half off of the options that currently exist this does the trick. Especially for a mod that doesn’t do much else than add some sound. I’ll do a comparison video of valves open vs closed after cold start cycle shortly. In the meantime here are some pics as requested.
