good morning YouTube today we're gonna
put controllable exhaust valves in sis F
12 so that we can make it loud or quiet
when we want to instead of having it
just kind of do whatever the computer
wants a little bit of a work I got to
take out the bumper stuff but not
terrible so this video is sponsored by
Forza kappa dente they're the guys who
make these exhaust controllers for just
about every modern price so if you got a
Ferrari that's got exhaust valves that
are controllable plugging this component
and it makes it so you can use a little
remote control turn them on and off
pretty sweet and the cheap link in the
description below for zacapa dentate
calm so this is the controller you can
see it's got the little computer and all
the wiring and then of course our remote
control so basically this gets wired
into the existing exhaust controllers so
there's these little solenoids they have
electrical connections and then a vacuum
line so you don't actually mess with any
of the vacuum lines you just plug in the
controller is basically jumping into the
system so this is gonna tell the exhaust
valves when to open and close instead of
the computer in the Ferrari give this
thing at ground you got power coming off
of these wires and then you jumper these
in pretty simple installation downsizer
do have to remove the bumper and a bunch
of other stuff to even get to the
controllers you gotta remove the wheels
because I believe it to pull the fender
liners right yeah trim floor yeah that's
a lot of stuff just to get some valves
well it's not really get to the valves
it's the controller shoulder and why are
you oh yeah yeah cuz we gotta put
electrical to it up here yeah OOP just
the further under tray that ender liner
Oh actually wraps around the bottom yeah
the muffler somebody's been in here
working and they tightened down the
exhaust clamp and didn't clamp the
muffler to the exhaust pipe
it's just separated yep Wow for
reference that's
scene well good thing we're in there
brilliant work guys
well this is gonna be pretty
entertaining I'm gonna reconnect to
Bebe's exhaust and put his valve
controller on and he's gonna wonder why
the exhaust went from loud to quiet and
quieter I'd love to know who is the last
person to be inside here yeah those two
flowmasters over there
you hear that it'd be Bert's got a
couple of flowmaster 40 series four he's
gonna hook you up with this thing's
gonna be bitchin can we throw in some
cherry bombs I think we might have a
couple of those too I'm bolting the
bumper I've got a bolt up here that
holds it on and then we got some bolts
down on the bottom pop up so it's like
the glue down double-sided tape oh shit
now I got to pop these caps out you see
this one oh yeah once you screws into it
yep
pop these five caps out and take this
guy off and there will be screws under
here for the bumper okay
after take the allen screws out I'm
gonna pop to trim there's these tanks
that insert in here with these metal
clips oh oh okay so you popping off the
clips all the clips dropped inside here
so if I don't climb now then when we go
all the bumper and I was in there fly
everywhere yeah we'll be playing 50 clip
pickup okay I see it like chillin right
there yep kind of hard to see but yeah
we little Clips after pulling the screws
out you know there's not really an edge
here grab a hold up so I kind of rolled
the panel up and get my fingers up under
it and then kind of pull it up I find
that to be a suitable technique Torx
screws like 27 t 27 t 30 T 30 so far
everything's been T 30 except for the
little guys here yeah those were two and
a half millimeter Allen's changed it up
everything I mine was a 27 well this is
a more expensive model so I got a bigger
screw yeah yeah gotta pay an extra
$5,000 for the bulbs because they're
slightly larger yeah the factory
procedure is a we pull some of this
stuff out of the way and then we can
unconnect the wiring harness for the
bumper and feed it out to the body okay
so it's hiding the wiring here somewhere
yep looks like couple Allen's or
something yeah there's probably a smart
way to do this than the way I'm doing it
right now
take that up there keeps falling out
yeah see where it passes through the
body here Oh yep yep there it is so
that's it we'll just disconnect that and
pop that grommets real nice enough we go
interesting connector
every connector is like a mystery I
would call that a sliding a safety latch
you have to pull up on this yellow tab
it's depressed in and it locks and then
this actually slides that Oh see that
yeah yeah like an ECU connector so now
that's here pop the grommets room now we
can feed the connector through like that
all right you ready you ready here under
the we actually have the solenoids that
control the vacuum signal to the exhaust
valves so this connector here is from
the factory harness to the exhaust
valves and we will pop these guys off
there on there pretty good okay there we
go
so one free cider yep one for each side
left and right on the Ferraris the kit
that we have is going to splice into
here so the wiring house basically just
kind of goes in between from the
original harness to the controller then
back to the original harness jumps in
between the actual signal for my car and
that gets mounted somewhere then we just
attach that ground wire to the frame
somewhere
and I'll just put the ground wire here
on one of these studs for the solenoid
by the way there's no permanent
modification to the car whatsoever one
of the things that I really like about
this controller could all of these
cables here are extremely high quality
high temperature water resistant see the
factory connector here just has regular
inserts in the connector and just
regular lumen tape you know nothing real
special the one that he's built actually
has a rake M type heat shrink sleeve on
the connector which as you can see here
there's some glue so as you heat it up
to shrink it the glue melts and now this
is a sealed connection same thing here
glue and fuse shrink wrap more expensive
high quality stuff this is a really
really high quality wiring harness this
is you know Motorsport quality wiring
harness and the box itself is pretty
simple there's no crazy parts in it the
right kind of product and that it's not
over complicated and where things matter
you know quality assembly technique was
used so it's not just some chintzy cheap
part that you're just you know skimping
on and not spending money on this is a
really good quality piece no one 400
bucks ish yeah yeah and there's a couple
options as far as the programming for
normally open or normally closed and
basically it's got three modes one open
to closed three let the computer do what
it does
correct so which is also kind of cool
because then theoretically you could
just have behave like a regular old
Ferrari you can make it loud where you
can make it quiet yeah trim it boom tip
getting that clamped backward should be
so the muffler actually muffles yes this
is the strangest thing that the clamp
was tightened just not in the right spot
this is why you should only ever take
your car to the dealership
because they never make a mistake this
is black okay I don't I don't not so we
get the valve control module ruff
installed it's just sitting up in there
plugged into the wiring harness for the
solenoids for the vacuum actuators for
the mufflers we get the ground wire
hooked up I don't want to drill holes
and modify the bodywork in any way if I
don't have to to put the controller
inside the trunk I'd rather leave it up
inside the bumper so that way it's
completely uninvaded completely removed
in a matter of minutes
if someone decided to down the road
because of that we're not going to be
able to get to it to make any repairs or
adjustments to it once the bumper goes
back on we're gonna go ahead fire the
car up real quick cycle the valve a
couple times and make sure it works and
then shut it off and close it up there
are two primary settings for these
modules which is default position valves
always closed or default position valves
always open and open is the opposite of
how its setup from the factory
I like closed all the time just because
if you forget that it's quiet yeah yeah
you don't piss off the mitts by default
don't piss off the neighbors pretty much
because that's really donors and why
anybody wants the valve control systems
on these cars is so that way they don't
disrupt the neighborhood when they're
trying to gently cruise through you know
the purpose of these controls is to give
you control over when you make your
noise so I feel like most people would
prefer to default to quiet and then you
have to remember to open it up we don't
want to make those changes but we want
to verify that that's the default
position for
brezza test number one
there it goes came off the cold start
yep
very cool yeah you can hear them open
Midway cuz that's the computer control
yep always close they got a B and C yep
that's badass that works like a charm do
testing sounds good sound like a b12
properly should damn it yeah 400 ish I
don't know the exact number because I'm
not looking at the website right now but
let's just say it's 400 ish dollars to
make your car sound like that versus
$14,000 exhaust yeah you know super
quick and easy fortunately these later
Ferraris they're doing a really cool job
with the dual sound mufflers and yeah
they're pretty open when they're open so
if you're not looking for a specific
tone which would necessitate a full
exhaust system if you like the factory
tone this is a super cheap and easy way
to just get the loud volume when you
want it without having to invest in a
full exhaust system because it's so
simple if you get a car that's still
under warranty and in that sort of thing
this is a simple enough install that you
don't have to worry about it making any
major changes to the car that's gonna
upset your local dealership the average
guy is not going to be doing this on his
own car he's gonna be paying somebody
and as you can see they get the bumper
on and off this car is not terribly
labor intensive so if you needed to pull
it out it's not a big deal
and say yeah even if you you're paying
some doing it's not super expensive know
how much even installing a whole new
exhaust on this and even cheaper than
the other valve systems the this
gentleman here was quoted somewhere in
the 1,500 to 2,000 dollar range I think
to have one of the other major name
brain valve controllers installed on the
car and so when he pinged mean we talked
about this controller
you know I explained to him the
difference in pricing and as far as I'm
concerned he's getting the exact
functionality that he wants which is
valves own or valves off if you happen
have a Ferrari and you want this sort of
stuff Josh can install them for you and
you can buy these components your this
kit yourself pretty easy this comes from
Orser component a out of arizona he's a
really easy dude
you business with good honest dude good
quality product so if you are a DIY guy
and this is something you're comfortable
with doing you can hop right on Steve's
website and buy the kit for yourself and
throw it in your car the kit comes with
Velcro like a really badass industrial
velcro with adhesive on either side so
that way quasi permanently mounted and
we're just going to use that but then
I'm gonna throw a couple zip ties over
it as well because yeah we have the
ability to so right now I have this is
some old stuff from the local of paint
shop this is surface cleaner this is
what we would use before we start
painting your car you know because it
evaporates and all of that I like it
better than brake clean and some of
those other things so I'm going to use
this on the backside of this bar on the
painted surface and make sure it's on I
love it yep that way the adhesive will
stick and then I'm going to throw a zip
tie around it to just the extra make
sure that's the super duper yep velcro
yeah that's that crazy velcro it's
awesome it is can like survive water and
nuclear fallout and communism maybe even
oh I don't use that but I appreciate
that when I was disconnecting these this
insert came out of one of the connectors
part of the weather sealing component of
the connectors make sure water doesn't
get into here it's really important that
make sure you keep those in water we'll
get into the factory side of these
connectors and it will cause a shortened
blow a fuse and cause you a lot of
hassle especially since it's all up
inside the bumper and the bumper has to
come out so if it shorted hard enough to
actually damage the harness you have
yourself a little bit of that
you're gonna have a bad time nice nice
and pointy
tweet-tweet all right bumper we got a
date with the Ferrari these spacers ooh
oh yeah just go under the large Torx
screws here okay so you can get the
screws tight but so you don't destroy
all the plastics so this bottoms out
against the metal clip let's metal the
metal uh-huh this is what would happen
in their earlier cars people just zip
all this stuff together with electric
guns and you crack all the plastic and
then the bumpers chunk so I have a real
fetish for the correct screws being in
the correct places at the correct
tightness see that nice tight and no no
plastic cracking noises those are those
little clips put it back in right yep
yep these are the metal clips you want
to make sure you get it lift underneath
the gasket properly oh yeah
and then you've got alignment pins here
we get it into the body
if you don't align those they break them
up nice now I'm gonna go get the rubber
mallet just to make sure that it's
clipped into the proper torque spec
swinging torque wrench yes
these are directional if you look
there's two different slots yep so they
do want you putting these in in a
particular manner not that way
this beautiful trim piece here is held
on with double sided tape I'm gonna just
stick it all back together for right now
and see how well it holds and if it's
nice it's nice and if it's not it'll
come right off and it'll be easy to a
put all new double-sided tape back on
Luke's awful pearly you want to make
sure you get these grommets back in
properly they're not super easy it's the
only thing that keeps the water out of
the trunk what's all these electronics
in here it's pretty important that's the
other reason why I didn't want to put
the module up here and have to poke a
hole or something here these grommets
are fitted really you know tightly to
the harness and taped in and when you
poke a hole you now introduce the
opportunity for moisture to get in this
is something I see aftermarket stereo
shops do all the time on cars and it can
cause some real problems clip it back
into its bracket and this was just zip
tied along here like so
so we'll just put some zip ties back on
that the thing is being uncooperative
yeah this metal brace here has a bow in
it so it makes the holes misaligned
yeah all right in those Torx bits back
on the bumper yep or Torx bits on the
bottom the fourth component component a
four is a confident a component a I
can't say that right it's a hard word to
say for me component a for the component
a it's an awesome way in a cheap way to
make anything that has the electronic
valves controlled by a solenoid that
system makes it so you can just flip the
valves on and off or have the computer
just do its default thing so it's
cool obviously makes this car sound
incredible when the valves are open oh
my god hear that glorious v12 why would
they not want that sound so I think I
might have to get some of those for my
four five eight because my valves are
always open they basically just pulled
the vacuum line which is like the zero
dollar way to make your valves open but
the problem at that is now I can't
control them it admittedly sometimes
when you're on the highway it does drone
pretty bad in three four five eight so I
wouldn't mind being able to just close
the valves sometimes and we're in the
f12 I'm gonna see what it sounds like
from the inside
you know it's easy left the gas it just
goes quiet yep
terrible terrible terrible but the
valves closed cause terrible none of
that
please got to change it thank you yes
much better
vacuum cleaner clothes is terrible but
it was quiet
again if you want some valves installed
go visit for second component a
confident a.com go buy one of these
controllers in DIY installing pretty
easily in most cars someone are really
easy some are a little bit more
difficult you gotta remove bumpers and
stuff or you can have a professional
like Josh install certainly if you're in
the area and you want Josh to install
you can do that for you pretty cheap
under $1000 hopefully you guys enjoyed
this hopefully enjoyed seeing us work on
f12 we don't get a chance to do that too
often not too many people screw around
with these things hopefully we can do
some more stuff alright let's do it for
now so stay tuned likes here and
subscribe give it a thumbs up we're
gonna be doing lot of car stuff it's
gonna be sweet
