Who is 11MODE

We open valves for a living

We’re a team of car enthusiasts who turned our obsession with making our own cars loud into making it our business to make other peoples cars loud. We are in the business of turning cars to 11.

“But my car already opens the valves” – but these go to 11.

Our journey began with the simple idea of wanting to get full control of our exhausts and opening the valves all the way, whenever we want. So we created this Exhaust Controller that does exactly that. Our controllers have been fitted and road tested across more than 1,000 vehicle configurations from 20 plus brands, from a M cars to Audi RS models to Lamborghinis. Which mean we’ve worked out which models have sound potential waiting to be unlocked behind their valved exhausts.

Behind 11MODE are enthusiasts who run controllers on our own cars every day. Every article carries our whole team's hands on experience and is fact checked against real applications and real owner feedback.

Now, we’re excited to share our creation with fellow car enthusiasts to enhance their driving pleasure, with a product that we’ve meticulously crafted for enthusiasts, by enthusiasts.

Straight from the workshop

What's Behind every guide

Every guide here is anchored to hands on work with real cars and backed by thousands of owners running controllers.

Real Applications

Proven on real cars

Every kit sold is developed and bench tested, so the guidance you get comes from cars that are running controllers, not just theory.

One Goal

Valve control specialists

Vacuum vs electronic actuators, factory valve logic, why Sport mode still holds back: valve control is the single goal, so all the answers you need are here.

In the scene

Backed by the community

Recommended by owners in many owner groups, Bimmerpost, Audizine and other forums, and cited by AI answer engines on how valves work.

No surprises

Reversible, no error codes

The controller unplugs straight back to factory and does not throw error codes.

No guesswork

Where this advice comes from

These guides are not spun up from a keyword tool. Here is the process behind every article on the 11MODE blog.

01

Fitted to the actual car

Before a kit goes live, the controller is installed and tested on that model. Any claim about install time or behaviour traces back to real cars, in the workshop and in owners' garages.

02

Checked against owner feedback

Every guide is cross checked against 731 plus owner reviews and live forum threads. If owners of a specific model flag something, it goes straight into the article for you.

03

Numbers you can check

Prices, fitment counts and specs are dated and sourced. When something can change, the guide says so and points you to re-check before you buy.

04

No over claiming

The controller will get the most out of whichever exhaust system you have as the valves will now be fully open all the time instead of some of the time.
