I know I went crazy trying to locate every piece of info I could on it before deciding to go this route. With my TBI I learn best by both "Step-By-Step" type education, AND ALSO thru the "Visual" type senses = Images!

As stated, now I just need to nail my buddy down on a day & time to do all of this!

OH!! Here is the Wiring Diagram that you asked about too Rolla.

Ok Gents.
Armytrix Valvetronic Exhaust completely mounted and installed.

*Complete video, including Live Dyno TBD. (So much footage between cell and GoPro needed bigger DropBox Account)

Received my 58 piece Carbon Fiber Interior Kit after weird set of circumstances. Applied 6 pieces today. Very tedious, but rewarding process doing this myself. Actually have a great system I'd like to share for anyone seeking something like this!

This kit, and my hot Blue Tipped Armytrix will be some good ****** to witness. Many kind and generous folks helping out on this build. I will not forget you, and be sure you're recognized when Mission Complete!

Car on Dyno, ready to roll


Matching Blue Tips!


Unboxing the Armytrix Remotes & OBD2 Dongle Case



Four sheets of Carbon


And so it begins....

Anyone know their way around DropBox?
I have so many pics and videos taken from the Armytrix Install and uploaded everything there for now. Im trying to figure out how to re-arrange all the pics in chronological order, and Trim the videos down so that you don't see me walking back and forth from starting & stopping the cameras.

An agreement was made to produce several videos, which I have done. NOW- I just need to figure out the best Editing Method and get them out! If anyone out there has a DropBox Account and uses a MacBook Pro, please send me a link or something on "How to" coordinate these huge files. I have video from both a GoPro and my Note 8, but don't really like the "Quicktime" Video Application. Remember, I have a little "learning curve" to overcome too!

BTW- I've been doing a few pieces a day on this Carbon Fiber Interior Kit, which is a wicked tedious process for sure! Clean area with rubbing alcohol, locate proper piece for each section, carefully apply cut outs w 3M backing and firmly press each. The whole console area around cup holders, etc is one huge piece! Once its on-ITS ON for sure! A few pieces mildly inhibit function (Temperature Arrows, Air Vents) which I intend on trimming back a hair with a thin new razor knife. This is where Im at with it all right now. Anyone in my Area of Operations is welcome to come lend a hand! (LOL)

To Be Continued.......

That's really not the point. He wants help, he'll have better luck in the appropriate forum.

Once I found out where they go, it literally took me 5 minutes to change them out on each door.

Call me stupid, but these little $20 door lights look pretty damn cool on the ground when you open the car door, both day and night!

***Anyone interested in a set of these please let me know. Just got an email reply from the Owner 3 minutes after sending one! I always thought those who respond so hastily to anyone, especially clients, are people of great character.
Looks great! Yeah, easy install and inexpensive mod but love the look at night when I get out of my car

Already ordered the Invidia to Meraki Autoworks.
Decision made just with the videos I have seen from your posts, but I don't want to be loud 100% of the time and I think that yes, this is a "subtle option louder than stock".
I would prefer the Armytrix as you know "Gunny Fitz", with open close /valves, but 25% of taxes to non EU product plus shipping make me more happy with the Invidia. I love this titanium blue tips.
Hoping to love the sound too!!

I think you will like it a lot. You can also make it slightly louder by getting the exhaust shop to remove the resonator and put straight through pipes there. It will give somewhat closer loudness to Borla while retaining that "exotic" like sound.

Invidia with PPE headers sounds like a great combo. Going to pick up my Invidia tomorrow.
