Valve controller amg sl63

Has anyone else been able to install an active valve controller on their sl63 or even sl55 for that manner..

Curious to see if the sound gets a bit more present when leaving tthe valves open in any drive mode..

Have installed this on multiplmultiple Audi's and the sound was almost always 10 to 20% louder nicer

I will Receive my sl63 amg next Friday with opf/gpf hence Germany

Not a single sl driver interested in finding out whether the exhaust valves actually stay completely open on s+ and race mode, or maybe only under a certain rpm range..

I’m not totally satisfied with the exhaust. I’ll up the exhaust later when there’s more options available after market.

I am definitely satisfied with the exhaust sound, im just curious to see when the valves actually open up.. coming from many Audi rs6 rs7 rsq8. The valves only open up in dynamic and even then only at a certain rpm range.. stupid european emission laws etc.. most likely this would be the same in the sl63 however in sport + and race mode i get the feeling the valves actually really open up

Perhaps won't be long until ASR/CETE etc. come up with a module?

I see, only one way to find out.

Not your car but here is an idea of how much valves open stock
I believe it is when you hit 5K+ RPM is when they fully open and you have to be in sport+ for example but once the car shifts the valves closes up again (not completely but closes up) as the RPM is below 5K.

Just to clarify: are you doing only the valve controller; not doing a chip/tune or new exhaust system? I've always tried to follow the protocol of only doing one change at a time so you can evaluate each one more effectively, but will likely go the Full Monty since having to go to Houston or Austin pretty well sucks so once is enough.

Looking forward to your impressions.

$350 is well worth it. Does that include install? Where is ASR?
