Has anyone put one of these electronically adjustable exhaust on their VT?

I love the idea of being able to have a big beefy exhaust one day and really quiet the next.

those are nice, but I imagine they are extremely expensive. But again, they are nice, and I do like the idea of being able to just change, but you could also do that with a boost controlled solenoid that opens before your muffler, but it would be a much different sound. Only thing I don't like about systems like this is, how often do they break, and do you have to replace the entire unit?

look slike it's about 400 for a muffler. why is this strangely tamping to me though? oh yeah, cuz I have a gf who hates loud cars, hahaha

if i were to get anything like this for my vehicle i'd probably just get a boost actuated cut out, so when your on it the cutout opens up and full exhaust sound come outs

if we put an electrical cut out system that whe can open or close when we wants only by pushing a button. when riding with the cut out open even at low rpm would it give horse power and tq to the car? or it would be effectiveless?

personally i dont like the electric cut out just because you now have a motor to deal with on salty roads that wont last long. but i'm not sure about the "power increase" at low RPM part sorry. i'm no exhaust expert and would never claim to be

 

[samlessard]

but it should be increase at high rpm?

but it should be increase at high rpm?

The answer to that really depends on how restrictive the can (and piping) is when in "stealth" mode. Honestly with a turbo car I don't see a huge point to this. A well built system can be plenty quite when you are easy on the loud foot. And loud when you put it down. Better off getting a cheaper exhaust with a big resonator.

Unless you race. Then get a real cut-out installed.

Someone needs to get that on their VT and upload some audio STAT!

I like th econcept, not so much the system itself lol, I should have o=pointed that out. I have seen the boost actuated ones, and almsot got one for my other car before. I hear that these are so restrivtive when closed that evo's and sti's would not boost passed 1psi lol.
