subscribed as well. i love my muffler bypass pipes, but only when i want them to be loud. When i'm starting the car in the morning, or coming home late in the evening i feel like an a**hole. Additionally, having a passenger that isnt a teenage boy or a real automotive enthusiast is a little embarrassing too.

Finally got it installed today after long night!
So first of i was little concern and scared to install that valvetronic by myself.First i uninstalled old maxflo mufflers,taking of the rear bumper and open fuse box with 4 screws to get ready do some wiring.
Beginning was chaotic because planing how to run wires and vacuum lines.
Fabspeed send pictured installation manual with nice explanation but i was disagree on running power wires from fuse box under the car to rear engine compartment.At least on my application because i have convertible.
Also vacuum valves and resonator have to be installed and i find good place to install the resonator.After removing rear bumper i attach to the brace.
I'm throwing some pictures so-far i got with more to come and of course video clip.
The sound is awesome.With the valves close you got maxfloo muffler.With the valves open its civilized version of muffler bypass.
Fitments was excellent as always with fabspeed.Thanks to Jeremy and rest of the Fabspeed group for support and installation info.

Looks good my friend, can't wait to hear what they sound like. And with the vacuum valves you could actually use the OEM switch set up if you wanted to.

gu9cci 10-28-2010 07:27 PM

Thanks Doug...I know i do but for now i'm playing with the remote control switch :-)
