I feel like I should have done downpipes but I hate that smell and I don't really want to put a tune on the car. I'd go catted race downpipes if I had some good feedback from the group here to tell me the sound would be comparable to catless, and that I wouldn't need to delete codes.

Tuning out the cats is a by-product of a full tune. The smell is a little annoying, but not really present if you keep the windows up when at a standstill (traffic, stoplight, drive-thru, etc). With a tune, the car pulls harder than you can imagine. The first pull I did after I tuned and ran 22psi I was in shock... as in, "Is this the same car I was driving yesterday?!"

Now I need new tires... that 3rd gear spin is no joke.

Anyway, Armytrix sounds great with or without cats.

Agreed, I think the tune would be a wonderful add, I'm just not looking to do it right now. Perhaps next year after warranty is out. I'd really like to improve the sound even further, I'd just like a way to do that without a tune.

It sounds awesome without cats. I had my stock downpipe cats gutted when we installed the Armytrix system.

I love the exhaust, my only complaint was the control box requiring exclusive use of the OBDII port. I wound up capping off the vacuum lines and having the exhaust flaps open all the time (the default position is open when no vacuum is applied, the exact opposite of the stock exhaust).

I was able to put an OBDII splitter on it and use both the ARMYTRIX controller as well as the one for my Waylens.

Otherwise, there is an old style box you c an get instead of the OBDII one.

Yeah, I inquired about that originally and got a tons of run around on it, after which they said they'd sell me the older style controller for somewhere in the range of ~$300 (may have been a bit lower, don't remember).

I just decided it wasn't worth the cost and capped the vacuum lines. Exhaust flaps stay open 100% of the time now.

I’m considering capping the lines as well. The exhaust is almost inaudible inside the cabin with the valves closed. It’s quieter than factory at some highway cruising revolutions. Downpipe time.

I capped the vacuum line at the valve in the trunk, that way I didn't have to worry about screwing with the lines themselves coming undone and throwing a code.

Just pulled the line going to the exhaust off the valve, shoved a cap on the valve and called it a day.
