Custom exhaust

Not sure what you mean by custom, but I'd go with a nice aftermarket kit that retains the valve functionality. If you go to a competent muffler shop they will be able to keep the valves on a custom system but chopping off the outlets where the valves are located and welding them onto a custom setup. This way you get a custom system but keep the original valves.

If you want to delete the valves, you can remove the motors and use a block off kit to eliminate any codes that may appear - https://www.urotuning.com/products/...-simulators-1310-11018?variant=12543902908471

If you're talking about a catback, then no. You won't get fault codes. Your car will sound like shit, but you won't get a cel.

Yeah I mean like a exhaust shop who does there own exhausts. My one said they don’t support the valves. So I’m worried how to stop the error message when I delete the valves.

It's subjective. That's how I can say that. Cute muffler.

That’s dope!! Very cool setup.


Yeah, he just likes to troll but he fails at it quite often, “cute muffler”. But he’s right about the subjective part… the troll part comes from his inability to keep it to himself, as when he type this crap he gets a giddy that he’s about to drop some super clever comment.

I'm sorry, should I say it's an ugly muffler? A gorgeous muffler?

Oh right, no one cares. That's what's fun about opinions. You ask for them, you get them, and then you get upset if said opinion doesn't match your own opinion. I find pretty much every aftermarket/custom catback sounds like shit. I'm not a fan of how our engines sound. You like it and want to make it loud and obnoxious and throw on a pops and bangs tune to make it even more annoying? Cool, go crazy.

Back on topic. You won't get a cel. You'll get a hidden code for the valves if the circuit is left open, but that's it.

This car sounds absolutely fantastic compared to other 4 poppers. Don't know what you are talking about.

Both of these examples are AUS / Euro versions of the cars which have slightly different fuel systems & one less cat. But these sounds are easily achievable with a DP and properly tuned exhaust system.

This one gets good around 2:25


This one at about 19 secs - kinda sounds like a cat purring
