URGENT help needed with AP exhaust
i contacted agency power several times over this but to no avail. the receiver on my exhaust system doesn't work, and i wanted a replacement but they cannot source the item individually. i am constantly terrorizing people on the streets (DC is a city afterall). Does ANYONE know where i can get a similar device from another company or by some chance has one they don't need.
i've spoken to agency power 4 times now and they still don't know what they could do.
any help is much appreciated

I'm sorry to hear that. It cooks me that they charged you well for a product and now nobody can help you...someone should have thought to ask the vendor " hey when I sell my guys this and they have a warranty issue where are the spare parts?"
That's B S
Ill look around to see if I can find you a servor motor
Can you email me a pic of it?

my mechanic deduced that the issue the receiver, specifically, the fuse in it. we used a voltage tester on it, and it starter working, without it, it doesn't. i dont know if that pic is clear, but its that little black box. my car is straight pipes header to tips now, i literally have to wait until there's no one in the area before i start it on, and i still sometimes get a call from a friend that's in a building 3 blocks down asking me if im in the area because they heard my car :P ..
on another note, i just remembered and incident that happened to me at the gas station worth sharing, please tell me whether or not i was at fault. So, i was fueling my car, and when i was about done, a lady comes to the pump on the other side of me. I say to myself, there's no one else here, so ill wait for her. As soon as she's gets in her car, a guy pulls up to fuel his car behind me, so out of courtesy, i get out of my car, and in a VERY nice and friendly manner i say the following, "excuse me sir, i just wanted to warn you, im about to start my car and it's really loud, i didn't want it to surprise you". He gives me a very disgusted face, looks a way and then looks back at me and says " i think i can handle it". so at this point im like
i walk towards my car and look back at him one more time, still smiling, and then he says "where you always this arrogant or is it something new". I laugh to myself, give him a thumbs up, get in my car, start it, and as expected, he jumped. is it just me or was he the Ahole ?? i mean yes i have headers on my car but i was being courteous, wasn't i ?

I think you were perfectly reasonable. There are too many idiots and jerks in this world to try to please them all. I have fair warning to my neighbor whose car I set off everyday. He was cool about it and is a really friendly guy.
I can't tiptoe everywhere I go so I don't bother.

I know Cargraphic also has this unit. I have one on my car. I think they can source this part only.

Funny, this reminds me of an incident.
I had some relatives over on new years eve. And my 25 yr old cousin wanted to see the C63.
The car had been parked for the long weekend and the temperatures had dipped into mid 30s and I warned him: "The exhaust might just be a tad too sharp at start-up, more so in the garage."
He pointed at the GTO and said: "Not louder than that, right? Don't worry". The GTO has a bassani cat back running 3" all thru.
Got in and started and his whole body just shook - his father who was standing outside, almost **** his pants (very old guy).
Then the guy steps out and says: "My G37 sounds pretty sweet too".
So I replied:
eah I know."
And he made me sit in his car and start and listen to it idling where it was quieter than me snoring.
