Considerably louder at idle? Or just at cruise or full throttle? Ive got a full 2.5” DPE system but no note seperation at low & mid rev range. Im wondering whether marriage savers will create note seperation from lower rev range onwards? Also will the marriage savers decrease cabin noise?

Whats the difference with the 262? Why go with that one?

Are they the standard cam specs from factory or?

I am seriously considering the vcm 532. Specs: duration 215/223 Valve lift .583/.583 Lobe seperation angle 112 I know that its a mild cam and suited to a standard stall and i understand that the torque kicks in pretty low in the rev range. A bit concerned that lsa 112 means lumpy? In terms of...

Hey guys. Im after either the vcm 532 or 262 for my ls3. Im after more torque off the line and just more torque as low in the rev range as possible. Not after a lumpy cam and want stock street manners if possible. Which one do you guys recommend? And do i need a high stall convertor for either...

Hey guys! My ssv S2 ls3 currently has a full DPE exhaust so 1 3/4 headers, 200 cell cats & 2.5 “ cat back with bimodals. Also got a vcm otr and custom tune. Im interested in a cam now and was thinking about the vcm 532 or 262. Im hoping to achieve more bottom end torque so off the line and just...

Im having issues with pulling the relay. Im using force but its not budging. I dont want to break it. Is there a technique or another button to press first so the relay can pop out easier?

No, just wanted confirmation. Trying to figure out if its possible to have them open throughout the rev range and also the ability to close them if required but from what i gather it doesnt look like its possible.

Hey guys, i understand that you can pull the relay to keep the bimodals open throughout the rev range but once the relay is pulled is it still possible to close & open the bimodals through the mylink function? or will that function no longer work?

Do you think a small to mid spec cam will improve the bottom end? for example off the line at lights. Only after more bottom end performance cause thats where i do 90% of my daily driving.

What can i expect when a brand new full exhaust carbons up guys? Does it become deeper, louder, more aggressive, quieter, etc? I have a full Difilippo exhaust of 1 3/4 headers, 200 cell cats & 2.5” catback with bimodals welded back in.

Got the left bimodal valve fixed guys and now its all good. Fairly quiet when cruising but nice and loud when you boot it. Ive noticed that you do lose some of that nice note definition with the bimodals tho even when opened. Either way happy with the performance gains and contemplating next...

Sorry for the mess around guys. Heres the final update. When the tick in mylink is off and you start the car, the right bimodal valve closes whilst the left bimodal valve remains open. Issue is with the left valve.

With mylink off when the car is off the flap is open. When i start the car and get out and have a look the flap is still open. Should the flap be closed once car is started and idling?

Yep! My stock mufflers were sent to MPI so they could remove the bimodals and weld them into the new system. They make the manta/dpe systems.

No its not pulled. With mylink off with the stock system the bimodals would close once the car is started. I could actually here it make a noise. So they were open before i start the car and close once i start it. Now with the Difilippo they dont close on startup when mylink is off.

Hey guys! Just got the full Difilippo system with bimodals but i dont think the bimodals are working. Can somebody confirm that when the bimodals are off and you start the car, the valves should be shut at idle? And only open when you boot it? When i start the car the bimodals are open even if...

@Not_An_Abba_Fan What do you recommend?

Hey guys, just got the car back from the mechanic. Full difilippo exhaust with bimodals & retune done. Got VCM otr too. Goes great and sounds good..... but.... Its too loud for my liking. The bimodals arent making much of a difference. What are my options to quieten it down? Help!!

What was it about the sound or performance that you hated with the DPE?

Just want to confirm with you guys that an ls3 with just a custom tune & otr will still idle smoothly once a full Difilippo exhaust is fitted and is then retuned. There was a guy on one of the vf social media pages stating that a full Difilippo exhaust system makes the idle lumpy even after a...

My mechanic ordered me the full Di Filippo (DPE) exhaust early august and they have finally delivered all the components now after delivering parts of the order wrong over the last 8 weeks. My current stock mufflers have now been sent to them so they can use the bimodal valves to weld into the...

Is that the same with the Difilippo?

Are the mufflers from the DPE system bimodal mufflers? They said they have bimodal mufflers with the vacum set up or they can weld my current bimodal valves into the DPE system which is the electric set up used with Mylink. When they provide the mufflers for the valves to be welded in are they...

@Not_An_Abba_Fan Can we get some input here from you?

Ive ordered the full DPE system and they are going to weld my current bimodal valves into the DPE system. Are you saying it wont have any effect?

As a daily before you put on the marriage savers did you find that it was too quiet? Or loud enough?

Hey guys! My Harmonic balancer isnt wobbling but since im changing a couple of the pulleys it is a good idea to change the balancer to a powebond one with an ARP bolt? Apparently they will all inevitably wobble on the VF2 so i thought i would get on top of it early.

I understand you have the W375 package so full DPE with VCM OTR. Whats the otr like? Any issues with heatsoak? and temp rising too much?

What were your modifications to the VE? And what are your modifications to your VF?

Yeah after having a listen to a couple of the videos that you posted of your DPE system i got the mechanic to order the same system for me but 1 3/4 headers, 200 cell cats, 2.5” cat back with 3” tips & bimodals welded back in. I like the fact that its going to sound deep and not raspy/high...

It was either the Difilippo or Harrop system. Im not after a loud system by any means. 1 3/4 headers, 200 cell cats and 2.5” cat back with bimodals welded in. Apparently Harrop is raspy & barky so decided with Difilippo. Just concerned over loudness and 200 cell cats making it smell fumey...

Was just going to go aftermarket! So the full DPE exhaust system with the bimodals welded back in. Do you recommend keeping stock bimodal mufflers?

Is that because of your cam? Or maybe cause of the tune or both?

Ok! But why? Is the Harrop droney, barky etc? Whats the difference between the two in terms of noise and performance?

Hey guys! Just after some advice. My mechanic wants a final decision. Full Di Filippo exhaust branded as Manta, or Full harrop exhaust? Specs will be 1 3/4 headers, 200 cell cats and 2.5” cat back with bimodals. I want a deep sounding system thats not too loud whilst improving the bottom end a...

Do you find that 200 cell cats make it smell fumey?

What do you guys think of ceramic coated headers? Are they really necessary for daily driving? Do they make that much of a difference in bringing under bonnet temperature down?

When you say “wind it out” do you mean driving at full throttle or normal daily driving? Or is “wind it out” a term that is used meaning removing restrictions?

So if im going for a cam down the track should i go 1 3/4 headers or 1 7/8 now?
