What comes with valvetronic exhaust?

Hello, my system comes in next week, and I知 a little confused as to what is in the box for controlling the valves? Does it come with one of those key fobs to open and close? I see they sell a separate identical looking one and I have no idea. I知 assuming it comes with it but who knows. Please lmk!

Reuses OEM valve so not included but can be purchased separately if you prefer a remote actuated valve setup.

I need the valves to be able to stay open 100% of the time, so would I need that controller? Or would, I be able to do that with oem valves?

Can you keep the valves open at all times without one?

To keep your valves open all the time, follow these steps with a cold exhaust system.
  1. Start car
  2. Put into sport plus
  3. Turn car off
  4. Visually verify the valves are open
  5. Unplug the valves
  6. Bag and zip tie the connectors out of the way
  7. Drink a beer for all the hard work

Dont you have to hit the gas to open the valves after you put it in sport plus? I hear the motor work after I hit the gas.

If you池e tuned via BM3 or MHD, even on just a CS or GTS map, simply go into the flash settings and toggle the button for the valves to be fully open in the sport modes and you値l be set.
The Valvetronic controller or another brand such as SST, Dahler would be your best bet if you prefer a remote system.

Yes, if you are flash tuning or buying a device to keep it open. I am offering a no cost solution which I understand is not the best for margins.
