The valves open only in sport/custom mode. They stay closed during comfort/eco mode. That's how the active valve works and it's how the car is designed to operate. I had a wireless valve controller but I felt like I was loosing lower end torque having valve always fully open so I put back the stock wiring and it's far better.
Yes the exhaust just like the mbrp pro come with valve extensions that you have to install or else the springs are too short. Works really amazing. They only open when you are in sport or custom mode and close when you are not using throttle. It's how its designed to work (active exhaust). Honestly it sounds better and the car has better lower end torque. When I had the valve always open with the wireless controller the car felt like it had less lower end torque.
No i only had to remove the stock OEM exhaust rings. I got 2.25 " inlet (57mm) 4.5" outlet. (115mm). These are perfect fit not too big. I tried 5 inch outlet tips and they end up rubbing/touching the bumper so I don't want that vibration. You do need some space to allow some movement.

How do you have the valves open while parked?? Mine won’t open till I put it in drive and accelerate
Sport Mode, tcs off, abs off.
Sport + mode. Valves don't stay open all the time in just sport mode

Car sounds amazing
Thank you :)
Did you reuse the valve Springs from the old exhaust. A shop installed my exhaust but the valve Springs were too short

I have the exact tips which I just received. Did you have to cut out the factory tips frame to fit that?
