I'm looking at their prices on other exhaust systems. It looks like most of their 2-muffler valvetronic stuff ranges from about $2700-4500+. They have a W204 C63 valvetronic exhaust for $3300, just for comparison. I'd guess we're looking at about $3k, more if we need a new diffuser setup.

Indeed, the idea is to keep the enjoyment to the driver 
I personally can't stand the noise anymore; considering Tesla primarily because of this.
Wouldn't it be great if speakers can play something similar to Lambo or Ferrari? I'm sure these systems will get better overtime.

Still no word on release date or price. It looks like they're also throwing their hat into the ECU tuning game for us. They achieved 407 HP to the wheels, it appears. They are claiming that as only a 40HP increase, but they don't show a stock run and 407whp should be WAY more than 40HP. AMR made stock runs at 265whp and tuned to 371whp. Is Armytrix hitting 36 more HP than AMR's 1.02b revision? That's a scary amount of increased power. Hard to tell without seeing Armytrix's baseline.

C450 Armytrix
I have my armytrix exhaust installed on my car. I have a 2016 C450 AMG.
Armytrix has two variations of the exhaust, you can get the one that fits the OEM bumper or the quad tip one that fits the brabus rear diffusor.
The one installed on my car is the quad tip exhaust with the blue tinted tips. The sounds it gives off is very deep. If I was to rate how much louder my car is, I would say around 60% louder. Please don't be fooled by the dyno video on youtube. The exhaust is not that obnoxiously loud.
I ordered everything from Vivid Racing
Armytrix: Front Y Pipe, Mid Y Pipe, Muffler, Wireless Remote, Blue Quad Tips = $4,270
Brabus Diffusor: $1,195
Shipping is 450 but they gave me a discount and waved the shipping costs. He gave me 0% sales tax as well so total was $5,055
let me know if this helps.

Our catbacks are really quite sufficient for 400-500+ HP.
If you want to get some more noise and get an ACTUAL gain in performance, install some downpipes. Only cost me $800 and the car sounds fantastic now
Having a switch for your exhaust is awesome and I would totally get an Armytrix if it was $1000-1200. But $4500 for a switch and some valves?? Get real

Worth $4500 for some added noise and very little performance? Personally I'd say HELL NO!

There's dozens of video's on Youtube of Armytrix exhausts. Dozens more of all sorts of other exhausts as well.
Long story short, if you increase the noise (flow) of this motor, it's going to sound GOOD! Really good IMO.
I think it comes down to how loud you want it, and do you need it to switch into "quiet mode"?
I love the philosophy and practice of companies these days integrating valves into exhausts. But the way they jack up the price 400%+ over a standard exhaust is absolutely ridiculous the cost of 2 valves and a remote control system is not anywhere close to $3,000. ****ing thieves if you ask me.
If you want loud, and don't really care to have the option to go quiet, I would look into AWE. They have a single muffler option and a triple muffler option and both are very reasonably priced.

My coworker and I installed it Friday afterwork. So my opinion would only be based on a one day review. The moment I turned the car on after the install gave me a smile from the sound it was making. So yes I would recommend it. I am happy with my purchase, I am glad I did not get the downpipes because then it would be too loud for my taste.
Yes the price is pretty steep, so if you're only looking for sound you can get the exhaust that fits the OEM tips. That would save you a lot of money. I personally wanted the aesthetic look and sound.
