[MENTION=321]robz32[/MENTION] FYI... from Ivan @ Tubi:

Standard Mode -normally this is the working mode. The valve is always closed.
Open Mode ? This should be selected to maintain the valve always open.
Sport Mode ? When the car is strongly accelerating or decelerating, the valve open and remain open until you cam back to drive slowly for more than 10 seconds.
Foot Off mode ? The valve remain always closed, and it opens only when you are decelerating.

So, at no point in those modes is the ExCU drawing 12v constantly to keep the valves open/closed?

I don't believe so I have had mine for 3 months now without issue and it is not my daily driver. It has sat upwards of two weeks without issue.

Excellent. That is a great reference specially since the car is not your daily.

Btw... ?@DirtGod... how noticeable was the performance improvement after you installed the Tubi-Style? I don't know if my mind is playing tricks on me or not, but in sport mode Natasha feels much more responsive, and quicker! I seem to get more wheel span from a dead stop.

Well I think so. What are the odds that we are both crazy. Glad the install went well.

That is the antenna for the Bluetooth.

Tubi has an app that you can download that allows you to control the valve modes.

you can connect the power cable directly to the battery.

You can do that as well. Connect to the battery terminal.

You will need something like this

In that case you will need to find a cable that becomes live with the ignition ON. You need a voltmeter for that.

Absolutely loving the exhaust. Although with valves open there is a fair amount (read... A LOT) of resonance (drone?) throughout the cabin. Someone on Facebook suggested some sound-deadening material so I?m trying that out!

Funny you just mentioning that, as I was about to ask here how the drone was with the valves open.

Yes, there is a LOT of drone with the valves open.

Let us know if the fix above helps.
