Thanks

You can add an active exhaust valve icon to your PIVI. I did and it allows me to open and closed the exhaust flaps just like the switch on my RR SVR. I also deleted the center resonator and replaced it with an X-Pipe. Huge difference in the exhaust sound with no drone! Caution, make sure you purchase a real X-Pipe.

Any question, please let me know. It you need photos of the active exhaust valve icon I my PIVI I will up load one.

Where did you get the X-pipe to delete the resonator and any videos or sound clips?

Video of this exhaust would be nice. Spending $3-4k on a cat back is silly for a few pipes, muffler, and tips that should cost $1500.....

Has anyone else been able to get this sv screen with the exhaust button?
Recently bought a V8 to replace our p400 x and definitely want to get that soft button. Have tried the CCf changes, but two of them I am getting different options for, including map-a through map-q instead of instaled

I could not - I tried every possible config... Then one day while I was sippen on some whiskey just ended up unplugging the actuators that control the flaps.


Sounds great IMO
