Default GMG Exhaust Thoughts and Video

Ok, so after weeks of debating and going back and forth between Tubi and GMG, I ended up with the latter. I've had this exhaust on for about a month now, and I love it! At idle, it's a notch louder than the stock system with the flaps open. Going through the gears it sounds nothing close to stock. It has a very smooth toned v8 growl which is unlike any system I've heard before. Shifting at 3-4k or less produces nice little burble noises in between the gear changes. At higher rpm's it sounds somewhat like a racecar. There isn't any drone at all. It is pretty noisy in parking garages, especially during cold startups, it attracts lots of attention. People look very confused when they hear all the noise coming from my pimped out A4. There were a couple of small dings on the cans I received, but it was nothing to cry about since they will not be visible. Overall, I would have to say I'm very satisfied with the GMG exhaust system...

I figured I'd put my new and overpriced macbook to work so I shot some footage and did some editing. I didn't have a camera person available for the video so there's not a lot of action. The video captures the sound ok, but the exhaust sounds much better in person.<ul><li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5qEW-tsV_8">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5qEW-tsV_8</a</li></ul>

just out of curiousity, does the GMG exhaust have the option to have valve? or does it only come with non-valved exhaust?
