Mine has started opening when cold starting. Closes after a few mins.

The ASR control unit has a small single wire [not the main cable] coming out of the box, do you know what this is used for?

Hi stan916, sorry to revive a dead thread. I’m new here and I’m wondering if you could dm me or post more about the steps you took to make the kit you’re referring to. I’m in a special circumstance since I ended up buying an RS muffler with the valve, but I have a base S model and I’m wanting to be able the active valve that’s on the muffler.

Welcome Lawrence.

Muffler!. What a wonderful word – we don’t get to hear much this side of the pond.

I’ve wanted to activate muffler valves all my life but i seem to have lost the knack!.

Pictures always welcome.

Seems like everyone here ended up finding a method that controls the flap utilizing the stock harness or found an aftermarket exhaust…
Don’t know if there’s gonna be a solution for my special case since I don’t have the luxury of being able to have it pre-wired. 😅

Sorry to post on an old thread. Recently managed to secure the J9 controller via flea bay. What do you guys do when the car is due it’s MOT, do you revert back to original wiring and simply leave the unit unplugged?

Just leave the valve in closed position and keep the remote out of sight. Less chance of an advisory for ‘noisy’ exhaust if you have aftermarket system fitted.

Hi I have fitted a similar kit from a seller on eBay, £95.00 +P & P  (I think )

straight plug and play fitted myself in 20 minutes or so

posted from Portugal all instructions in English nice small key fob

works as it says really quite quiet in a morning on the scorpion exhaust that’s fitted

really pleased

My default on the J9 is the flap is closed, I have to press the button to open the flap.

I left everything in-situ for the MOT no one mentioned anything.
