Exhaust valve fully open
#76
In conclusion, get Renntech, open the valves 100% and leave it alone 😆.
BTW I was able to link the Renntech remote to the homelink buttons, it makes everything so simple so use.

which downpipes and tune are you going with? Planning on doing that as well. Leaning towards Renntech but not sure about the premium price tag compared to others.

After driving the car some more last night I will probably leave the downpipes and tune for a later date. Honestly the car is plenty fast for me as it sits right now and the sound its making is a pleasure to listen to.
I just got the case of "new car must modify" bug LOL but the car is damn good just the way it is, I wont track it or dont plan to and am so pleased with it.

I have to wonder if the 'emotional start' in the newer cars that triggers the valves to open if the CETE acknowledges that command - it would be REALLY emotional then!

Completely agree. Downpipes are downpipes. One company’s bends and/or welds aren’t going to produce 30 more horsepower over another company’s. Find the cheapest set of downpipes on the market then get a tune from any reputable company, which will likely charge half of what Renntech charges. You’ll have the same power, equal reliability, and have saved yourself several thousand dollars.

Cete fitted yesterday and love it, exactly what i wanted, no extra buttons on fobs etc, total control with one button, it remembers last setting up to an hour after stopping anyway but if longer than that and I want 100% open on ‘warm’ start up, then i just press starter without pressing brake pedal, press exhaust button, then start car et voila! Fully open start up, i’m not that bothered though tbh and mostly prefer a discreet start up, bit nauseating some of the comments on here re loud start up.

It’s definitely a different model to the earlier cars (or maybe just software) as they did have to ask when ordering if mine was the earlier model (mine is the later 2018) as the unit was different for later cars.
also there was a fuse proviso in the packaging that i didnt need to use, again, because it was a later car i’d imagine, ive only tested it to 1 hr after operation and 24hrs later, the former remembers setting but it could be longer than 1 hr, i’ll see..

My mistake I didn’t realize you’re model was a 2018. That is great that it remembers setting after ignition off.

I'm pretty sure that saving the drive settings would be a function of the command system, not the valves level of openness. Anyone else with a CETE module that has drive settings now being saved?

I have a late model 2018 as well. It doesn't remember any setting from the car's previous run outside of the "I" programmed config, but that too needs to be reselected on any new drive. Cete seems to have a very simple purpose that doesn't re-program thee driver settings to memory (It doesn't claim this either).

Thats over 2hrs actually and it started in exactly the same settings as i left it in, but i had a thought, i rarely lock my car, even when out localy as i live in a zero crime area, maybe this effects things?

Anyone else chime in on how this is achieved?

So, if you shut off the car in Race, when you come back and start it up, it starts in Race?

its not until the next day that mine reverts to std. ‘C’ mode set up.
heres a thought, although mine is a 2018MY car it is the older interior so one of the very first GTCs made, is it possible that the software of these first cars was different?
the GTC was intended as a GTR ‘light’ version wich had many of the GTRs extras as std. maybe the early GTCs have the GTR software?
do the GTRs settings (of the same era) remain unchanged after turning off for a period of time I wander?

exactly, and the cete module is obviously in line with this behaviour

I know my US early 2018 spec GTC Roadster didn't save the previous settings even 2 seconds after turning off and back on. The 2020 GTR doesn't either
