I was indeed met at the airport where I was relieved of the Merchandise (it looked like a good bit of kit) and was then bundled into lovely a B7 for a complementary lift direct to my front door. One hundred times better than a Prius Uber ride home, many thanks again, Ilya.
Can't beat a bit of forum love.

Very cool ending to a terrific transatlantic tale!

Faisal's video was the one that inspired me to contact JC Weldfab, but unfortunately they cannot ship to North America due to costs.
So, I got the next best thing and just installed a Capristo exhaust. It sounds like Satan's own trumpet chorus in a tunnel!

This exhaust bypass system will allow full blast blasts across the rev range. Steve the owner has very generously extended me the same discount offer. Thanks to pule333 for starting this!

This really warrants using a dash-mounted switch, to bring the funk with every startup, tunnel, under-bridge run...

Model B2A — Exhaust Bypass Valve Controller Kit RS4 B7

Post by FaisalJ » Tue Jun 26, 2018 7:44 am

I’m going to order another one of these (for the R8) as I’ll be in NY on business mid-august.

Before I contact Steve - anyone else interested? Will ask about group discount.

With this controller, you have 3 exhaust valve settings:

1. Per OEM (so dependant on revs and mode)
2. Fully open (regardless of mode and revs)
3 Fully closed (regardless of mode and revs)

Remember that per OEM valve function- in sport mode, your valves are actually still closed below certain revs in gears 1-3, and only open through the rev range in gears 4-6.

The kit is a piece of cake to install, and comes with a little remote to select the valve function you’d like. It always reverts to OEM when you start the car. There is an option to hardwire a switch if you don’t want to use the remote.

I actually find the valves closed function the most useful! If you’ve heard a JCWF exhaust you’ll know why haha! It means I can drive around in sport mode with the valves closed - handy when people are in the car, cruising on the motorway or I don’t fancy an ASBO.
