Customer Spotlight: R35 GTR with Rotiform Wheels and More

Since its launch in early 2008, the R35 GTR has been one of the most popular high-end tuning platforms available. In stock form it has the performance to take down significantly more expensive supercars and when modified it offers nearly unparalleled performance. It’s no surprise many R35 GTRs are heavily modified, especially considering the vast aftermarket support.

One of the most popular modifications for the R35 GTR is wheels. While the OEM wheels are decently strong and not excessively heavy, they’re not particularly good looking. Rotiform, as you probably already know, is one of the biggest names in the aftermarket wheel industry and they were the choice for this specific client.

Our client chose Rotiform SNA wheels, with 20×10.5 front and 20×12 rear fitment. With this fitment, they sit very flush with the body and look fantastic. Of course, most enthusiasts don’t stop after they install a set of wheels. Other modifications installed on this GTR include an Armytrix exhaust system, AMS Coolant tank and carbon intake pipes, a Prior Design rear diffuser, and much more!

We Made the Porsche GT3 Sound Incredible! Armytrix Valvetronic Exhaust Installed!

As you probably already know, Porsche builds some of the best sports cars in the world. The Porsche 911, specifically, is one of the most iconic cars of all time. Near the top of the 911 hierarchy, the GT3 and GT3RS offer performance to take on some of the best supercars in the world.

Porsche worked hard to give the GT3 and GT3RS insane levels of performance, but it still had to be a comfortable road car. This need for comfort forced Porsche to use very quiet exhaust systems on the GT3 and GT3RS.

As enthusiasts, we all want our cars to sound as awesome as they look. Luckily for 991 GT3 owners, there are lots of awesome options for aftermarket exhaust systems. This 991 GT3 came to the Vivid Racing shop for a VR Tuned ECU flash and an Armytrix Valvetronic exhaust.

Why Choose Armytrix?

What makes the Armytrix exhaust unique, is the Valvetronic system. The Valvetronic system allows you to switch between being quiet and being loud with the push of a button via the included remote or through the smartphone application; this works by tapping into a vacuum source on your engine and connecting it to the control module.

This OBDII module tells the exhaust valve module to allow the engine vacuum to open or close the exhaust valve. You can also set the exhaust valve module to an automatic mode which will open/close the exhaust valve based on predetermined RPM range or throttle position. For the 991 GT3, this means you can keep your car quiet in the neighborhood, but open the valves and let it scream on the open road!

The Result

After installation, we took this 991 GT3 out on the road to test the exhaust. Thanks to the Valvetronic feature, we could keep the GT3 quiet in town, but once we got out to the open road, we let it sing. We left the catalytic converters in place, since this is a road car and needs to abide with the law. Check out the full video below!

Product Overview: Armytrix Valvetronic Exhaust for 2015+ Ford Mustang

It’s no secret that the Ford Mustang is one of the most iconic American cars of all time. It offers superb performance at a very affordable price, making it a very popular choice for enthusiasts. Under the hood of the 2015+ Mustang GT, you’ll find Ford’s infamous 5.0L Coyote engine which outputs over 400hp.

With a 5.0L V8 under the hood, you would expect the Mustang to have a fantastic exhaust note, but Ford kept it very quiet and boring. Many aftermarket exhaust systems are too quiet or too loud, leaving you unhappy after installation. Luckily, the Armytrix exhaust for 2015+ Mustang is the perfect solution.

With our unique Valvetronic exhaust, you can keep your Mustang as quiet as stock or insanely loud with the press of a button. This works by using an exhaust valve to direct exhaust gases through or around the mufflers. We also offer a full Valvetronic exhaust system for the 2.3L EcoBoost Mustangs!

Aside from the awesome Valvetronic system, our Armytrix exhaust system also provides a big boost in power. For 5.0L Mustangs, you can expect +13hp gains. EcoBoost models can expect +16hp gains.

  • Available for 15-17 and 18+ Mustang
  • Available for 5.0L and 2.3L Models
  • Carbon Fiber, Chrome, Burnt Titanium, and Matte Black Tip Options
  • 4.5kg (9.9lbs) lighter than stock

Armytrix LC500 Exhaust Now Available

The LC500 is designed to be a unique grand touring coupe with enough performance to take on cars from companies such as BMW and Mercedes Benz. It’s not intended as a full on sports car like the 911, and such lacks the sound associated with a proper performance car. In stock form, the 5.0L naturally aspirated V8 doesn’t make much noise. Lexus kept the exhaust pretty quiet to appeal to a wider range of buyers. As enthusiasts, we want to hear our car as we put the hammer down on twisty roads or open highways. Luckily, Armytrix has a solution for LC500 owners.

The problem with many aftermarket exhaust systems is the volume. Some exhaust systems are super loud, and some are super quiet. Once the exhaust is installed, you can’t change the volume or sound. Armytrix exhaust systems are different since they offer a Valvetronic muffler system which can change the volume of the exhaust on the fly by routing it through or around the mufflers. This lets you keep your quiet in the neighborhood and let it sing on the open road. The LC500, in particular, sounds awesome with the Armytrix Valvetronic exhaust set to open. Be sure to check out the video below for some sounds!

Video: 2018 991.2 Carrera S Spitting Flames with Armytrix Exhaust

As Porsche moves towards turbocharged engines across their lineup of vehicles, including their coveted 911, a lot of enthusiasts were worried that these new Porsches would sound terrible compared to the old naturally aspirated Porsches. Although there may be some people out there who refuse to think turbocharged engines sound good, most of us have accepted this new turbocharged sound from Porsche and have learned to love it. Straight from the factory, the Carrera sounds pretty good, but it’s on the quiet side. The problem with many aftermarket exhausts is finding a middle ground between the exhaust being too loud and too quiet. This is where the Armytrix Valvetronic exhaust comes in, which allows you to change the volume on the fly.

Our Valvetronic system works by using a valve to direct the exhaust gases through a muffler or to bypass the muffler. With the valves closed, your Carrera with still be relatively quiet, but with the valves opened it turns in an absolute monster. On top of the awesome sound under loud, while engine braking these new Carrera’s love to pop and spit flames. Check out the quick dyno run below showing off this exhaust!
