One, it’s best to wire a relay to the control box if you don’t have an ignition switched power port. Make sure to fuse the power side at the source. Two, punch a hole through the grommet, lube the line with soapy water and push it through the hole. If you don’t have a grommet handy, buy one, drill a hole and install it. They’re cheap and will protect the lines. Lastly, make sure all wires and lines are secured with zip ties so they don’t rub sharp or hot metal. This is most important on the power wire. PS: I was an automotive accessory installer for three decades, so I hope my tips will help clean up your install.
Just got mine installed on a 10th gen civic hatchback. The muffler quiets the exhaust more than I want when the valves are open but retains the pops and burble. I could even go with a catless downpipe and the muffler would be able to tone down the sound when valve is closed. Very happy with my purchase.
Got a ecs tuning muffler with valves a day ago for my mk7 golf R and realized I had to use a vacuum source from my engine once I got the packaging smh. Now in the process of sending it back bc I stumbled across Valvetronic with way easier and straight forward installation
Does the mounting orientation of the universal muffler have any effect on functionality? I.E. if it were to be mounted in a sideways orientation as opposed to flat like normal?
Which way does a single outlet muffler go? I saw many different video showing the valve regulators installed both forward and afterward as well on the top and bottom of the muffler. Will the muffler come with a quick reference guide? Thanks
@valvetronic I had mine on the most forward of the exhaust to hide it and upward so it reduce the chance getting hit by debris. But the muffler sound like it doesn't really do anything. Both still sund loud beside the deeper tone when I open it
Help. No green light. Pressed and held the reset button… all it does is beep and holds the beep. No green light. No instructions anywhere how to pair the fob for this model. You made every video possible but this part
I have some issues with mine , was working just fine and now it's like blocked , and i can't open it, it looks like some dirt got in the achaust pipe , would i solve the problem if i pressure wash the pipe ?
I have a g20 330i with a gold plated valvetronic exhaust system made by you guys. I am having an issue where the Vacuum pump will turn on when I turn the exhaust on but then will pause for a second but then turn on again. This keeps going and doesn't turn off until I turn the vacuum pump off. I dont know what the issue is but I believe it is affecting the right side of the exhaust. Could it be a leak in the vacuum lines? How can I troubleshoot this issue and make my exhaust system work perfectly again?
Our universal mufflers do not have an electronic motor. Instead the valves are open and closed from suction provided by the vacuum control box, which in our experience offers far superior performance and reliability
Do I have to replace all of this when switching the red box or just the box itself , the box was making a loud noise whenever u turned on the car so they sent me a new one
Serious question, I see a ton of exact muffler, box, remotes for sale as yours but with different names on them. What makes them different than yours if it’s the same parts? Some UA-camrs have cut them open to display the insides as the same as yours. Do you have a longer warranty maybe and better tech support? Does yours allow for you to partially open or close the valves like others or open or close only? Nice video and ads you have 😊
The box is relatively the same. We are going to be doing some improvements to it soon. But yes there is a warranty with ours and our customer service will take care of you if any issues arise. Only fully open and closed

Can these be tied into the intake manifold?
Can you please make a video on an M440 on how to install the control box. Thanks
1:14 So could you run an add-a-fuse setup for the power wire? If I bought this kit I’d prefer not to use the 12V plug
Yes! Here is how to do it: m.ua-cam.com/video/D3WG5n6Rjtk/v-deo.html

Does the mounting orientation of the universal muffler have any effect on functionality? I.E. if it were to be mounted in a sideways orientation as opposed to flat like normal?
It will not have an affect! The muffler can be installed in any Orientation and still work as intended.
Would wiring it to the cigarette fuse be good?
yes
Does the universal muffler kit include the vacuum box?
@@crimetapezz9641 yes it includes everything!
I have a Camry, I was wondering if I can use a fuse adapter and use the accessory fuse as a power source?
Sorry for the late response but that should work!
Have you done the install on a vehicle like an Lancer or EVO because I am interested in installing one of these myself
What if I don't want to use the remote? Can I hardwire a button?
Yes
@@valvetronic how do we do that with the universal muffler
Which way does a single outlet muffler go? I saw many different video showing the valve regulators installed both forward and afterward as well on the top and bottom of the muffler. Will the muffler come with a quick reference guide? Thanks
We usually have valve at the rear most point of the vehicle. other than that it doesn't really matter
@valvetronic I had mine on the most forward of the exhaust to hide it and upward so it reduce the chance getting hit by debris. But the muffler sound like it doesn't really do anything. Both still sund loud beside the deeper tone when I open it
Why the muffler is upside down
how do you reprogram the fob to the pump?
Help. No green light. Pressed and held the reset button… all it does is beep and holds the beep. No green light. No instructions anywhere how to pair the fob for this model.
You made every video possible but this part
@@andrewlee6847did you figure this out? I’m having the same issue.
@@zaslerp My turn, did you find the info?
The light on the box is blinking in red and blue instead of green. The valves won't open or close. What should i do ?

Definitely a leak in the vacuum line
If I hard wire this to a fuse on my cars fusebox do I need to use the negative end of the cigarette lighter cable?
You must use it...Negative can go to any bare metal screw etc to provide ground wire.
Sorry what is the purpose of the whole vacuum thing? Can’t it just communicate with box and tell it to open? Thanks :)
Our universal mufflers do not have an electronic motor. Instead the valves are open and closed from suction provided by the vacuum control box, which in our experience offers far superior performance and reliability
@@valvetronic ah ok cool thanks for that.
Most of the time my box doesn’t respond to the button . Do you know why ? Could it be a bad installation on my part ?
Antenna might be loose! Make sure its tight and secured
Do I have to replace all of this when switching the red box or just the box itself , the box was making a loud noise whenever u turned on the car so they sent me a new one
Just the box
Does it have to be a wireless remote? Is hard wire an option?
You can pair to your homelink buttons very easily!
How to reset the controller box
I cannot reach my truck from the inside of my car so how am I supposed to bring the cord to the cigarette lighter back to the box??
You can extend the wires, it’s just power and ground!
