Active sound module
Thanks. I didn't know that. I had assumed that because the exhaust button in the car has some influence over the H valve, the module would as well.
I guess that means for max noise with the ASR module, you need both the exhaust button in the car on (to get the H valve open) and the ASR open button pressed (to open the rear valves)?

2017 C63S AMG Sedan
My 63 is also a 2018 sedan. The module has hardly any effect on my car. I also have had the secondary cats removed. Really disappointed the module does not open the H valve flap and would have to get an exhaust simulator or what ever it is to open it.
Has anyone tried forcing it open with a simulator? Can anyone point me in the direction of where to buy?

Still, it’s definitely concerning that people aren’t noticing a difference.
I wouldn’t know. Three weeks later and I have nothing lol.

To be fair, the thread did state that the module replaces the two rear flap simulators, not the H pipe one.

The module does keep the flaps open but on my 2018 car it makes no difference to the sound whether the flaps are open or closed, it can only be the H pipeone that changes the sound.

It’s starting to look like the module was not tested on 2018’s and thus should not be listed as a compatible vehicle. I will be reaching out to the ASR guys...

Once some others get their shipments in for their pre-2018 vehicles, we'll have a more definitive answer, too.

That's really odd only 2018's are affected, I think you guys should reach out to Daniel. If the valves are physically and visually wide open, I don't understand why there isn't that obvious increase in volume like with pre-2018's...maybe the h-pipe is defaulting to closed at idle on 18's or possibly have different exhaust valve programming?

I'd say try getting a sim and try to get the hvalve to stay open in conjunction with the module since you've already gotten it... Maybe then you'll notice more of a difference?

Understood, but personally, I'd sit tight for another week or two. Lets get the consensus on whom it's working for and whom it's not. And if it becomes evident that it's all the 2018s that its not working for, then maybe that'll be helpful to ASR to update/modify your units, and provide a unit swap or something to that effect. But if you handle it on an individual level only, no one benefits.
Either way though, you get taken care of. So why not see if you can help out others in the meantime by sitting tight for a few more days? Just my $0.02...

Update for US Buyers who are still waiting for their modules... Mine just got to Jersey so looks like it got through customs finally... Not sure what the delay is for some of us...

I'm Philly so you'd think our deliveries would be pretty close!
