Today was Suvneer Lip install day

Took an Hour to install and align on my own. Pretty aggressive, but its literally perfect for what I was looking for.

Just need some better pictures!

Got my car last month and i have started receiving my first batch of mods

Installed a pair of welcome LED lights i got from Ali Express

For the price difference between this and the OEMs this has definitely met my expectations. Lets see how long they last



Also got red start button

I'm thinking of going Dinan for exhaust. What is the drone like? That is my biggest worry.

When doing city driving with the valves fully open, I noticed the drone to be pretty bad. Not only the drone but also the car vibrates a lot, like I got a headache on my first day with it. On the highway not as bad but still there. the valve closed is fine, actually sounds great and much better than stock with valves open. So most of the time I am valve closed and you still get good sound, it’s great.

This could be cause I have the dual valve remote that is just straight open, but I’m not sure. Other members here didn’t complain much about the drone. So maybe it’s remote thing

So i drove home in sport ind and when i got back cleaned the exhaust tips off as they were a little dirty and the right hand one (UK drivers side) was stone cold. I thought sport mode opened both up?

I'm reading the description of the dual valve remote and it sounds like it should be quiet when closed. Is the point of the remote that you can open/close however you please without changing drive modes?

Yep, I can open or close whenever and is not dependent on driving mode, You get more burble in sport vs comfort. I also got it because I read somewhere that drive modes do not open the valves entirely but not sure whether that’s entirely true

The valve is only on one side - perhaps this explains it?
