Multiple reasons, pricing and market research being two.

Those valves are wide open on cold start anyway.
The close up afterwards helps but not going to calm down the initial blast. I use the garage door down start-up at 4am even with stock exhaust.

I know of one person that's switching from attack to this touring system as soon as it hits market........Its a beautiful sounding system, even in the cabin.

Valid point, Crim.

I believe if you shut it down in stealth mode, it will start in stealth mode

That’s not accurate.

These npp comments. Come on guys. If you want npp, just look elsewhere. I got rid of my valves without a second thought when I installed my Kooks axleback. I dont miss having the option at all. I pulled the fuse as soon as I brought the car home anyway.

Some of you must have some whiney neighbors. I haven't heard a cold start that's that concerning. My neighbor has a freaking racecar that he starts with his garage door up from time to time. It doesn't bother anyone a bit.

AWE makes some great sounding exhausts for the euro market. I almost picked up their catback for my Mk7 R before making the switch to the ZL1.

Tired of some of the quirks with my NPP so I'm definitely going to be in the market for a valveless system. Neighbors be damned.

That’s definitely not correct. They are closed in Stealth mode, and it’s WAY quieter.

You can put me on that list. You have to remember that both NYC and the California coast are the epicenter of Prius driving crybabies. And at least for me, I have an HOA that I have to live with.

My car is pretty damn loud with headers, but at least I have the option to shut it up if I really need to. So for me, having the valves is pretty much a requirement.

Yep, didn't look at your location. I have HOA too, but people in the southeast region whine slightly less.

I'm really interested to hear this. Let's see if it can beat my Kooks axleback. Now, I'm just curious on price. I hope they dont pull a GTHaus move and charge $3k for an axleback.
