In my garage the valve was closed un-started, I fired up the car, put a flashlight up to the left side and the left tailpipe where the valve is on that side and it was closed. Again I started in park in my garage valved was closed. I turned on M mode when I started no valve opened. So I assume that the valves open possibly at a certain RPM when being drive. Anyone have a thought on this?

Yes, that is exactly what it does.

Kudos to Scottiekay!!! The remote programming works! Unfortunately, I have two buttons programmed for entrance gate and garage, but at least I can activate the device with the third.

I am offshore just now but will confirm when home. Not sure if the owners manual will tell me much.

They deffo open though even low revs gentle driving as the mrs moaned that the car was loud the other day driving round the town.

Not sure if they open to 100% or even if both open. I had them wired open but the drone annoyed me so undid that mod, in M mode not sure if it is a loud as wired or not. Will do some testing when home.

Interesting. I have NEVER encountered any drone with this setup.

I have actually ordered one of these but I am still a little confused.

I parked my car up in efficient mode and looked up the exhausts (on the right hand side) and the flap was open. I then put it in sport plus and it stays open.
I am still pretty sure the flaps open all the time in sport plus mode ( I am in the UK) but not sure why they were open when parked in efficient mode?

I get mine today, I will install and upload a video from my Iphone, not exactly sure how to do it. From all of the post I have read I do believe that there is a difference in the European models emissions and exhaust to the US based models. When i am driving it becomes obvious when the gate opens in the exhaust, it sounds louder. Like I said before this is a small amount of money wasted if it isin't what I expected to get. How do I upload a video?

I had mine over nighted and it will be here Saturday. I dont recommend the over night it is almost as much as the product. I understood that he just got his shipment of the devices on Friday so I am guessing all will be going out now.

Tried to capture it with my iPhone 5. Doesn't do it justice. My 8yr. old is apparently afraid of the throttle. Gets it from his mother's side of the family...

Is this easy to do yourself or does it require a garage to fit?
