Hey Folks,
Jumping in to give some clarity on the AE exhaust. It's important to understand that some people who decide to take the plunge and order from a place like AliExpress do you get a half decent product in the short term. Unfortunately, this does not usually play out when the system ages. Something can look very similar, but can have such different engineering constraints. It's a totally different product indeed. You can see in the valve bodies that they're clamping stainless steel valve bodies to the titanium piping instead of using a casted titanium valve body. This is one of the cheapest manufacturing techniques and your valves will rattle. Maybe not immediately but overtime they will. if you want to take the risk, you are more than welcome to do so, but we have had so many people who order systems like this from suppliers and they receive something totally different and their credit card companies are unwilling to assist and aliexpress sides with the manufacture and they end up being forced to dispose of the system and purchased the authentic thing as they are embarrassed to have their valves rattle. Remember, if we were just drop shipping systems like this with no engineering developments, we would've failed long ago. |

I can’t say much about the valve rattle as I always keep my valves open… I’m not saying this system is any better or identical to the VT, but considering it cost me 3x less I have no regrets with this system |

I originally installed the VT system with the OEM valve control so I wouldn’t have to mess with a Remote. I still wasn’t getting the sound that I wanted, so I had the VT valves installed with the remote and control box. My assumption would be the exhaust button inside the car with no longer work, but it appears that it does. I’m wondering if this was installed incorrectly. When I am in comfort mode, the remote opens and closes the valves, but if I use the M1 or M2 button, it turns on the exhaust valve button on the center console and the remote no longer works, but the button in the car does. Very strange that both would work. Any advice would be appreciated.

It doesn't seem to affect any sport mode, but with it off the normal mode does not give any pops at all. When I tested the OEM setup the button looked like it didn't even move the flaps, I believe Sport modes moved the flaps and the button seem to me anyway to adjust for decel pops and up shift pops one both sport and sport plus. Not change to Normal.

Thanks all for the comments on the video. I enjoy working with that team on making videos and photo's. I'm hoping next I can get an exhaust for my GTS 4.0 so we can do another and then a duo shoot with the M8 and the GTS. Just gotta find one that's full cat back titanium.

Im running Soul catless on my GTS (3.0) and that thing is brutal. I never thought a turbo 6 cyl engine could sound so good and loud... Well there are few 4.0's out there but they be 8's (Audi and Benz).
