how to install VAP valvetronic exhaust?
Hello everyone,
I am about to purchase a VAP valvetronic exhaust to go along with my 200 cell down pipes currently on the car. Has anyone installed the exhaust in their driveway? I want to learn more about working on my car. Please let me know if this is a doable job or if I should just go to a mechanic. I have rhino ramps for clearance and I can buy any other tools needed. All advice appreciated!

Even that isn't challenging. Just keep removing bolts and screws until the diffuser/valence falls in your lap. (Not to fear, that set of pieces weighs less than 5 lbs in aggregate). Herane, I suggest you forego the 200 cell downcats. Far more noise than you'll want on a street car, particularly if you are planning on entertaining a lady. The VAP Valvetronic is over the top without needing the sport cats.

for me it would be closed most of the time and valves open when I want to let loose. Do you have any sound clips of anyone with this setup?

hi Unhingd, thank you for the insight. I was originally reading this thread where I heard the two parts together make it sounds a lot better:

Thanks for the input
Thanks for the insight guys, I think this will be a fun project to take on in my garage. I’ll record some clips of how it sounds with both the downpipes and the valvetronic exhaust. If it too loud, I will most likely change the downpipes back to stock. Would anyone know which tools I’ll need to take off the muffler (bolt size etc.).

That looks fantastic! Sorry for the lack of knowledge, but by "dip", did you mean plastidip the tips? I definitely want to go for the blacked out look, but I'm not sure what the best/safest way to do it would be. I've heard of people using black shrink wrap and cutting off the tips to get them painted then welded back on.

ya when i had the stock pipes with the catless it was terrible (our last adventure). Its loud now but sounds good with the valves closed or open. Only complaint with the catless is the cold start, just got a vacuum pump to solve this problem.
