PE Valves Default Open?

I only drive my C43 with the PE valves open so I always have to press the button to open. Is there any way to have them default open on start?

You could probably unplug the connection to the valve under the car in the open position. Put some dielectric grease on the terminals and plug to keep it clean.

DO NOT DO THIS! YOUR WILL THROW THE CAR INTO A SOFT LIMP MODE IMMEDIATELY! Synergize, who the hell gave you this idea? Come on man. Its all over the forum! Who needs the ASR module if you can just disconnect the valves and be done with it?!

The last 2 guys are right. You need the ASR module, which will keep it permanently open, or you can have it working as it works stock, or you can completely close it. All done through a remote. It has been advised to never use the fully closed position, even in comfort mode, the engine sees the backpressure and goes limp as well.

Is fully closed number 1 on the remote?

I always hit number 2 when I want it to be "normal"

I read it here: https://mbworld.org/forums/c450-c43-...d-working.html post# 7, the person disconnected the valve and said there was no errors. Plus, one person says you disconnect the valve then pull the fuse and the valve will stay open. What do you think about this?

It would have not given any CEL. But the car 100 percent went into soft limp. Which can be seen when scanning with a Xentry system. There would be a code saying Valve Actuator signal missing.

Can I check, can the ASR be also used for non-PE exhaust or is it just for the PE exhaust?

Even with the asr module you will still need to press the exhaust button to get any of the ECU induced cracks, pops etc

That pretty much defeats the purpose

It's also really not the case. Of course you don't get the crackles and pops in Comfort and Sport mode that's what Sport+ is for. You do get a deeper tone at low rpms in all the modes and it's obvious the valves are open without the button. It's easy to switch between the 3 modes on the remote and notice the difference.

Well the difference between Sport and Sport+ is quite large, a lot of times I cruise in Sport but won't do Sport+ in the city. It has enough of the added effects for my "cool" factor.

I get that the deeper tone is a plus, however, the main selling point of the Performance Exhaust are the up/down shifts, crackles, and pops. Having to press the button for that is basically the same issue that the remote primarily tries to solve.

If you are getting crackles and pops in Sport with the button then you will get the same effects without hitting the button. With the ASR the flaps are completely open all the time! The crackles and pops are due to the ECU programming and the flaps being open on the PE. Not the button! Ordinarily the flaps are only fully open at higher rpms. The module simply keeps them fully open, closed, or stock......

I'm not sure that's the case... At least with my car.

There is a huge difference between sport+/valves open/button off and sport+/valves open/button on.
