Australia Bi-Modal Exhaust Updates

Sorry guys. Picked the car up on Saturday lunch time. Went for a drive and got home late with kids.

I need to get my wife to help either hold the phone or sit in the car.

I'll try once the kids go to bed.
 
That's ok..........

You could of had all the kids with phones out recording while screaming up and down the street ..... Lol

As I mentioned previously the exhaust hooks into the existing car driving modes activated within the cabin. In the video the car is started in 'Eco' mode where the bi-modal is only activate at Idle. The choke is on when the car starts as it's not been started all day. Once idle returns to 1000rpm I gave it revs up to 2000rpm twice. I then change the car into "Sport" mode and give it up to 4500-5000 rpm a few times. After that I return it to "Eco" and do the same.
 
Sounds nice on start up...

If you have it on custom with sports engine mode does it sound the same as when in sports mode?

Thanks for posting clip. Thought it would sound more gruntier but definitely would sound better whilst driven - especially gearing down with paddle shifter.

Custom, Comfort and Sport are basically all about the same. Eco is the only one which is only on at idle. The dealer is going to provide the chart I mentioned previously via email. When I get it I'll share it here.

Obviously this video is at the tailpipe. When your in the cabin, you really only hear it when you're opening the throttle. There is a small amount of drone when the valve is closed compared with the stock exhaust but it's negligible considering.

It's really changed the way I feel when I drive the car. Sounds way more aggressive.

Hope that doesn’t make you a more aggressive driver, lol. Speeding fines we could all do without!
 
I think the Borla or ark sytem sounds better. If that’s what you get for $2600+ I’m out as I’m looking for more bark.
 
Anyone in Sydney got theirs or an update on when there getting it installed?

UPDATE:
Bi-modal systems are shipped, most dealers will receive 5-7no in the next 2 weeks.
Luckily I'm down for one, should be fitted first week of April. HAPPY DAYS :) beyond excited

Thanks mate, but scary having this position but it’s nice to know lots of Aussie members have been supportive towards me. I’ve only been in forum for about 4 months, bit shocked I’m now a moderator.
I value any input from you and others on my performance as time goes on.

Exhaust fitting tomorrow. Can’t wait to hear the difference!

Nice one! good luck.
Sounds like KIA in VIC is getting there act together whilst NSW has no idea! I called 3 dealers yesterday and they all gave different responses.
