Axle Back Exhaust to run stock Exhaust button?

As title mentions, has anyone had any good experience with a particular axle back exhaust that uses the factory exhaust button to open and close valces?

There are two distinctions you will need to know:
The Exhaust button will open and close with ALL axelback sets except AWE track axelback and the Megan Racing race axelback. The button also will control the burbles as well from what I have seen on the forums.
The valves will open and close based on throttle response. So even if you have the button turned on and are in Sport +, it will not be fully open all the time.
If you hate valves like me, there is only one choice for exhaust and that is AWE as they do not utilize the valves.

I assume you're referring to the AWE track edition, since the AWE switchpath uses the same valves with the factory button.

Correct. Switchpath utilizes the valves and track does not.

There are quite a few out there that do not utilize the valves, MPE being one of them.

Or you just pull the fuse with them open and voila…

I never found anywhere online that showed which fuse it actually was. I did this in my X3MC and RS5, made a nice difference.
