Hi! First of all, I´m new to the forum and recently got myself a mystery blue 300 ST 4drive 2018 (non-OPF), I´m so happy with the driving experience and power delivery. I´ve only had diesel or old n/a large estates with 150-200 hp before. This is a whole new experience for me, I didn´t think that an extra 100hp and a turbocharged 4 banger would be THAT big of a difference. It´s so responsive and quick.
I love this car, however, I think it sounds to dull, I did a res-delete, but I wasn´t really happy with the outcome since it didn´t really make that big of a difference except a little more pops and deeper tone. I looked up this forum and also watched some youtube videos and it seems to be regularly brought up that the ST has a much more dampening muffler compared to the hatch. Thus why the res-delete doesn´t do much. The sound hatches get with res-delete is perfect to me, it burbles so nice and gets a deeper nice tone.
Decided to go for an electric exhaust cutout valve since it´s cheap and I can get a proper cat-back later if I´m not happy with it.
So finally, to my solution (and problem), I now have an exhaust cutout valve that I want to install, the fitting itself won´t be a problem, but I don´t know where I can run the wire.
Is there anyone that has the knowledge or experience of where I can run the wiring for the electric valve? The power wire has a 12V-socket and I´m planning to use the outlet in the trunk. Is there any rubber groomet or drain plug around the spare wheel that I can use as a port into the trunk of the car?
Thanks in advance and sorry for probably, alot, of spelling/grammar misstakes, english isn´t my native language.
