Cigarette lighter in trunk. Worked perfectly for me. No codes and doesnt draw power when car is off. No wiring to front of car. I assume you have the remote control and not the hard wire switch?

Thank you. Yes I did purchase the remote. I spoke to GThaus and they gave me a wire I can hook into and they recommended a relay to put in place.

I spoke to them during my install as well. I didnt use their recommendation as the lighter socket worked perfectly. Excited for you. It's about to feel like a new car all over again.

With the valve open, do you really enjoy the sound level in the cabin? And it's not too much right? |

Sounds great in the cabin, you're going to be very pleased. It's not too loud at all IMO since the cabin is so isolated from sound already.

Another option is to plug the valves power wire to the head up display fuse in the fuse box via a fuse buddy adapter. The symbol is a square in the manual hidden in the fuse box in the trunk. It is also a not always on power source similar to the lighter. Hope this helps. Works in my M6.

Get those valves open. You will be deprived of the sounds of god without them fully open. Should just be some minor adjustments needed. No biggie.

It's working. The right one hung up a little before so I gotta mess with it a little more. I'm assuming heat expansion was a factor. So far I love the sound. I gotta find a trustworthy friend to drive it while I drive their car so I can truly appreciate it.

Sent a few PM's out to the members on this thread. I need some assistance on the EV control wiring and the conversion and plug into the trunk outlet. ( I have the wireless) Do need to purchase an adapter or tap the wires?
ANY help would be appreciated! TY |

Old Thread. Dumb question?
Why can't Meistershaft GTC design a system that utilizes the factory exhaust valve harness that gets its signal from various modes; Sport, Sport+ and M modes? I dispise having to deal with remotes and a dumb switch that doesn't belong in my car!!! |
