Has anyone tried out the VSC-2 on the F90? CG's website says it works on the F90 but i haven't seen if anyone has tried it out or spoken with them yet to confirm. Opens and closes the valves with a remote or using the homelink buttons

I used it on my M3 (F80) and it worked great.

Got the valve controller in today and had to get creative with the install because you can’t mount the box to the exhaust hanger as it’s too close to the tips on the F90. There were a couple of threaded studs near the driver side valve so I bolted the box to one of those. It works, my valves are default closed now to help quiet down cold starts and I can open them with a button and they stay open at all times giving me more exhaust sound without having to give the car as much throttle.

Is there a noticeable volume difference with them held open vs how the valve actuation is set up from factory?

Maybe just pull the actuator plugs first, to see how the sound is with valves open all the time, before a purchase of the CG controller. I had the controller on an M4, and it worked flawlessly.

I wanted the controller because I have the GThaus SGT rear section, I'm going to be removing the resonator for an X-pipe and possibly installing lower secondary pipes. I have the default on the controller set to closed for those cold starts unless i hit the start/stop button 3 times, then ignition turns on without the car starting and then i can open the valves before i start the car if i want the valves open during the cold start process. I wanted the option of having the valves open all the time because i can tell that the valves are closing even in sport+ with the button on unless you really get on it then they open up based on pedal position so now the car is louder when i'm not punching it.

Necroing this to see how the controller has held up? There's an extensive thread on them failing on G80s for some reason or another.

Thanks!
