Well last year i had a new CAT Back system fitted, it was very aggressive and extremely loud and the drone was insane! but i did love they way it popped and banged lol.

after a few weeks i got in touch with the company who fitted the system due to the drone and they advised that they had been developing a system for turbo cars. a valve is placed on one of the tail pipe and is operated by the vacuum of the turbo to open the valve at high load. this give you a nice quiet car normally and loud when you give it some beans!

although i don't have a turbo they advised i could have the same system and so it was installed!

leaving me with this

Nice and quiet round town but a nice tone as well.

The system works by running a vacuum pipe from the engine bay to the valve on the exhaust, thus keeping the valve closed = no pops and bangs and no horrible drone!!

however after some thought i decided to fit a small air control valve to the pipe, thus enabling me to decide if i want the valve completly open = animal or closed = drive to work on Monday!

Better video needed. I couldn't hear the exhaust over the sound of your mates weird paedo laugh.

Good idea though, best of both worlds.

:rofl:
 
Now that does sound very nice, pleased you have it sorted and are happy with the results :thumbsup:
 
This is exactly what iv got on mine.
I also had a droney aftermarket exhaust fitted for 12month.
Then went for a Quad exhaust last year from EMP in StAlbans. The valve works on back pressure, normal steady driving produces a not to loud but sporty exhaust note that pops and splutters a bit with throttle lift-off, but give it some beans and it gets all over excited and loud.
Love it!!
