assuming you needed to have the valves open before adding the plug. how do you keep them open after you turn the car off

 

I have this q too. Maybe they fall open when power is cut?

 

The flaps default to open when there is no voltage applied. I believe they’re spring loaded as well if they are like the valves on other makes.

 

went a separate direction with the same goal. Miltek makes a valve control module that allows you to control the valves with a key fob.

i have a miltek exhaust which uses OEM valves and the module works on oem v8 exhaust.

a little pricey but they have a 10% discount right now. it was around 350 shipped to me.

install was pretty straight forward although it didn’t come with any instructions. plugs into your oem connect and bypasses with another plug. does not need separate power source which is pretty cool.

has three modes, open, closed and stock so you can retain the stock function.

the module is not water proof so you will need to wire it into the trunk. there is a rubber grommet in the trunk area, small cut and slip the wires down, bunch of zip ties and your good.

prob not a mod for the true off roaders wadding in a couple fit of water but sure you could seal the grommet cut.

 

ordered these a month ago and AE seems to be having issues.

any chance you can post up a link using Amazon for the correct connectors? (My blue things were delivered fine.)

 

I finally got these parts from Ali Express and did the mod. It didn’t seem too noticeable at first, except at start up, but after a thousand miles it produces all the volume I want. Especially around 1500 rpm when under load, awesome. I’d recommend trying this before installing an aftermarket system.

 

Some video action would be great.

 

I just looked at the MultiCAN settings and tried a few changes, which resulted in the exhaust valves remaining open all the time in dynamic mode (regardless of the RPMs).

MultiCAN-675 ActiveExhaustButtonType
Was "Not Fitted"
Changed to "Soft button Fitted"

MultiCAN-528 ActiveExhaust
Was "Active Exhaust Actuator fitted"
Changed to "Active Exhaust Actuator fitted & button fitted"

I am not looking through the dynamic pages to see if the soft button is now appearing. Regardless... I now have full time open exhaust valve.

 

How does it sound when open all the time, good enough? Plus, any crackles and pops?

Did you use the gap tool?

Thanks Craig.

 

I wonder if the button will work when the new Octa software is inevitably released to all cars through the usual suspects.
