Appears to be electronically actuated via wireless remote.

I like sound of the Armytrix better but this isn't bad. Nice to see more options. Still waiting on a sound clip from GTHAUS and the Eisenmann systems

This sound like a Mitsubishi Evo. Honestly OEM performance option exhaust is probably the best sound quality.

The Eisenmann should be out around Fall time. Probably the one system I'm most excited to hear.

Gotcha, I am excited to hear meisterchaft. I was doing some research on Armytrix and their exhaust seem top quality. Cant wait to install mine.

I should be receiving it in a week or so. I already paid for it. But who knows I have already had a couple bad experiences buying cla45 parts...Paying full price for products that are still in the prototype phase. We will see if 3W Distributing lives up to their words.

3WD has a pretty good reputation so I wouldn't be concerned.

I'll be first in line for Meisterschaft

Also, if it was remote controlled, the rear section still have a connector that needs to plug in somewhere. I hope Meisterschaft comes with one or I'll have to make my own connection, which isn't hard.

Would definitely like feedback on how the Innotech performs.

That's fair. Well we need reviews on all these systems so it looks like IPE will be first lol

The IPE guy was a huge help. Very informative and shipping from over seas is less than 5 days. I cant wait to give you guys a review. I think it will sound much better than the videos

Hopefully I will get some good HP with this exhaust. Look at the 100- 200 KM different....2 seconds is a lot.

Do they have special dealers for the install or is it DYI friendly? I am catching the IPE bug also. The sound is better than ARmytrix.
