thanks for the post and the video the systems sounds awesome.

I'm looking for something with the ability to adjust the noise just like this or the Heico system offers.

Keep us posted if the product will be (or when) is available

 

Very nice! Sounds good. Will the kit also be available to the Netherlands? Is the car lowered, seems lower than a standard R design?


And hopefully no heico prices for this kit

Availability location-wise, I can't really speak to so I am not sure but I don't see why not.

Car is not lowered, but I do have the Sport-chassis option so it's a bit lower than some R-Designs (USA spec models come standard with the "dynamic" suspension). I do have 90-series R-Design rims on 255/35/20 tires and spacers though, so the car has a much more aggressive stance and definitely looks lower being that the rim/tire/spacer combo fills the wheel-wells nicely.

 

This is my car also with 20 inch.
T5 R-Design. Looks higher than yours.

Though I wish mine was lowered, I can promise you its stock height. Mine actually sits quite a bit higher off the ground with the rim/tire setup I have than it does with the original 19" rims.

Might just look lower in the video because of the angle though.

 

That would also be possible. Anyway a very nice T6. Especially this exhaust system. I think you also have the Heico diffuser?

The electronically controlled flap version does come with a computer module and interior button which needs to be connected to various wires throughout the vehicle and routed from the trunk to behind the steering wheel. Not very hard, but a bit more work than plug and play.

By default, they should integrate with the existing "drive mode" controller (no wiring to the cabin). The additional button should be optional.

 

From what I have noticed, the system when wired to the car actually acts the same as how the original flap operated. Under heavy acceleration, the flap opens regardless of the mode. The button, though not needed, is optional and can be used to force-open the flap regardless of drive mode. I chose to not install the interior button and instead use the wireless remote.

 

@MJEWETT - Thank you for the post. Any ideas how the system compares to the Ferrita Cat-Back which is available on Viva Performance? And is the system installed on your Vehicle, a rebadged Bastuck system or has Vaitrix put their own spin on the system?

 

I am honestly not sure whether they are going to be selling the kit as a vendor, or if it was revised specific for them.

Regarding the Ferrita kit, I don't have any experience with it so I don't know how it compares, though it seems from the description that the Ferrita is only available for 90-series models, and requires modification/cutting of the existing oem system which negates the opportunity to return the car to stock whenever needed. I'm happy with this kit as it can slide under the radar sound/volume wise in quiet-mode as well as looks wise for service visits being that it uses the original exhaust tips, and I can return the car fully to stock easily and cheaply when I happen to trade it in on something else. Of course, whenever someone needs to get under the car, they are going to probably notice its an aftermarket exhaust, but the longer I can go without it being known, the better.

 

Wow, sounds nice! Thanks for sharing. Hopefully it won't be ridiculously expensive, something I will strongly consider! I wonder how long before it's out?

Also, what size spacers do you have? I have a T6 R Design with the Sport Chassis & 19" wheels. No intention on going larger. I survived 3 years with 20" wheels on my recently returned M3, but I'll sacrifice appearance, some handling and ride comfort and stick with the 19's. I'm a little bummed that finding lowering springs to drop the car a touch lower means the only option is a coil over, am leaning towards just leaving it alone at this point. Any spring set won't make a meaningful difference to consider, but make claims to having far superior handling compared to the stock/sport chassis setup...I was hoping to get that tiny bit more of a drop (another .50"-.75"), but don't think it's worth going with coil over for that. Should I look at the 10 or 15mm spacers if I'll most likely keep the sport chassis suspension as is?

 

I did 10mm front, 15mm rear to give it a bit more initial turn-in bias, and I definitely think the car handles a bit better as well. Some might say with a front-drive bias car like this, understeer will probably increase, but with my rims and tires, I haven't noticed an issue. If you do, you can always put them on the opposite way; 15mm front, 10mm rear. Won't look noticeably different in my opinion, and its the same way Audi specs the RS3 (Wider tires in front).

 

With the electronic flap this will probably be a bit pricey. As much as I want an exhaust for my car, I'm not keen on dropping $3k to make it sound a bit better.

 

There are few options if you don't want the electronic flap. also any muffler shop can get one made if all you want is noise all the time.

 

Ahh, I am the guy who replied to your video on YouTube before I found your thread here. Too bad this isn’t available yet. This is probably the best sounding system on the SPA cars right now.

Thanks for the vids, this sounds great!

 

Sounds great, much better than vids of Heico, ERST, Ferrita I can find online. Hope this will be on sales soon, perhaps the vendor can introduce a groupbuy discount for the forum members.

 

Please let us know if and when this will be available.

 

Nothing yet?

I also want to know if this is still a thing.

 

I haven't heard anything back ever since sending them my post-break-in updates. Not sure if this is going to be happening anytime soon, if at all.

 

Valtrix USA seems to be tits up, haven't really done anything in a full year now.

 

Is this available yet? I can't find it anywhere.

 

I have been under my T6 Momentum a few times now and I can't see any valve. All I see is this weird-looking exhaust hanger but no wires come from it. I will take a picture of it to post it because everyone keeps telling me that my car has it.

 

Are you talking about the weird looking thing on the passenger’s side just before the exhaust tip?

 

To see if you have the butterfly flapper look inside your right exhaust pipe with a flashlight. If you have it you can't miss it. The controller for the flapper is mounted on top of the exhaust.

 

And just like you said, there's a flapper in there...

 

I'm getting antsy with my exhaust... But don't really want to go the custom route. Sent out an email to Bastuck to see if they'll ship directly to the U.S.

Aaaaand they pointed me to this: https://www.bastuck.de/gb/sport/retailer-search/USA/

Which lists two in North America, one in Canada and one in Kiln, MS. Both seem to be non-existent. Sigh.

 

The one in Canada is a house... It's not far from me. Never heard of that name.

If anyone is seriously interested in mine, I’d offer to sell it as I no longer have the vehicle. It would also fit the 90-series cars.

I’d prefer to have someone pick it up if possible as it would be a nightmare to try and ship.

 

Sending you a PM!

 

I’ve got a buddy who owns a store in Canada. He said he was going to reach out to his contacts in Europe. Is there a link I can send him for the exhaust? He should be able to help us.
