IPE or agency exhaust owners

I've been running the primary cat back full ipe set up with 200 cell cats for about 6 months and have run into some small issues recently. My vacuum t line has broken twice in the engine bay near the head connection...third t line seems to be holding well. I am noticing that there is now rough idling with the valves off or closed. When valve is open, idling is fine. I have auto mode completely shut off or zeroed on the module because I've given up trying to program it. With it on, it seems to have a mind of its own irregardless of throttle input and rpm level. In closed mode the car feels subdued or held back in a sense....not sure if this is a vacuum issue or the auto mode is doing something. Any experience with this and input?

Yup I am thinking the same thing....now that I think about it, with valve closed it feels subdued or held back since I first got it....didn't notice as much as now. I figured would ipe or agency build an exhaust where it's slower or has no pull with valve closed. Pick up is night and day with the valve open...feels lazy with it closed in a sense.

Ipe Dealer distributor out here in California sent me to a lambo mechanic for install...same guy did an aventador and a f430 ipe so figured mine would be a easy.

Sure install instructions on the lines would be great if you have them just so I can trouble shoot.

Do you guys have brake rotors like the ones for the p31 2010 by the way?

Send me an email to james@acgautomotive and i'll send you the instructions for the exhaust and the module...

Yes we do have the brake rotors in stock, we have 2 sets of front and rear slotted that we have priced at $1500 plus shipping from the old pricing...

Let me know

Hey mate,

Here is a Dropbox link to the install instructions for the IPE system.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/picx8nnccq...n%20manual.pdf

This is for the wiring and the valve system.

Wiring looks good on my car but t line I am using is different. Maybe t connection or line not adequate? The final t line is am focusing on is the black one that connects to the intake plenum. They original ipe t lone looks thicker in the center while mine (replacement) is straight across. Maybe this is the difference.

I am using one like this currently, looks way different from the boxier one in the ipe pick. This original ipe and a second one broke. I replaced it with this and so far no breaking but noticed rough low 600-650rpm idling with valve closed.

I wish I could help mate, I didnt wire mine up but if you talk to an IPE dealer they may be able to get the original part.
