Valvetronic Exhaust or Armytrix

Hello All,

It's been awhile since I've done anything to my car. Got the mod bug itching again. If you had a choice, from your experience would you go with a valvetronic exhasust or the armytrix?

My cars currently stage 2 with a catless downpipe already.

Avoid Valvetronic at all costs. Trust me lol. Do some research on their business practices.

??

They are a small company with an owner that really cares about making it right.

They had a rough start but since then they have been taking all the right steps.

The price of their exhaust went from 800 to 1300 in the course of 1 year.

That's more than a 30% increase in price in 1 year. A dollar a day they up the price. Fuck em.

Of course you'd stick up for that kind of business practice. You peddle that MAD junk here regularly.

Unfortunately, that's not how it's calculated.
8% inflation in the US, inflation in other parts of the world is a lot higher, shipping and material cost increased by more than 8%
Salaries increased with the shortage of labor last year.


It's not my job to defend Valvetronic, and I don't gain anything from it. I prefer companies to keep the lowest possible price so I can sell more products and make more money, but I like to be fair.
We offer over 150 brands, the vast majority raised their prices last year, and it was always over 8%.

I think it sounds better, but that's a personal preference.
