Armytrix Valvetronic

Armytrix just released a video of their exhaust for the M2C.

Is it my laptop speakers or does it sound broken??

Never liked Armytrix's engineering and design. Their exhaust for the OG M2 used unsightly flat flanges at each connection throughout the entire exhaust. Also doesn't help that Armytrix, FI, and IPE all seem to have exactly the same exhaust designs as if they all come from the same factory and are rebranded. No ingenuity.

Armytrix is trash. Couldn’t pay me to run their junk on any car.

Seems like I'm not the only one lol. I believe the mic is getting blown out in the vid, but still... not a good sound

Jesus, what happened? I heard armytrix on various cars prior and they sounded fine. Not sure what happened here. Going to give the benefit of the doubt and say it’s a lousy microphone?

The manufacturer just put this same clip up in another thread. They either didn't listen to it prior to posting or did listen to it and think that it's a good representation of how the exhaust actually sounds. Either way, I would take pause in investing.
