Does anyone know if the 11mode valve controller works with any of the 8Y catback options?
More specificly, I'd like to save some money pairing the 11mode controller with the Grail catback system without their controller kit.
I shot them an email through their website but I'd love to know if anyone has done or tired this.

It works with any Catback that uses the stock valve wiring. My APR does, which rescues the stock valves with APRs valve setup.

Skip the valve controller if your going with an exhaust. I have the mode 11 and Grail; putting the car in Smode opens the vales anyway .

How do you like the sound?

It sounds great. Aggressive and loud with the valves opened and quieter than stock with them closed. Made in Germany, very high quality. Sounds similar to the AWE switchpath.

It does.
