I start my car in Individual mode with sound set to dynamic and it sounds like the four tips are open for about five seconds. If I have my drivers door open I can hear the valve shut.
I pump the mode button up before i even place the shifter in "R" or "D" so that dynamic is momentarily selected, then back to Individual mode. This keeps the valves open for the remainder of the trip.

Next time you cold start it, check if the left tail pipes are exhausting and not just the right.

I've really tried to like these VPS pipes... but the drone from 2-3k makes it hard to have a conversation or hear music in the car. My wife expressed that it sounds like something is wrong, which is not the "sportscar" effect I seek. 2-3k is basically 80% of urban driving so the drone is constantly present. Above 3k it sounds great, as do cold starts. Everyone else here claims zero drone so is there something wrong with my install? The pipes are legit (purchased from ECS) and installed by a very competent shop (034 in Fremont CA) who noted a leakdown test was performed. Did my clamps get lost in the sauce? What's this news about sealant? There was none in my box. Should the shop have added any on their own accord if it's so important?

when i installed my VPS resonator delete kit on my S5 there was no drone whatsoever. it was one of the best sounding and easiest upgrades and bang for my buck I did to the car during my ownership. just do it!
