Question for iPE owners

I just did my own install for this amazing exhaust but I am about wondering one thing if I did a install error or its just the way it is.
The valves are always closed upon startup even if I leave it open when I shut the car off..... did I route a vacuum line wrong or its just how it is.

this is kinda annoying like always having to set dct to s4 on startup.

thank you in advance

Same here, I just hit the ON button on the IPE control at the same time as I hit the start button on the car if I want a loud startup. Was a pain at first but used to it now.

mine was the opposite. always started with the valves open and then would quickly close them automatically. would be nice if they always stayed in the last setting you selected.

Interesting... maybe I can swap the lines and it will stay open until I want to close it. thanks for the replies
