quote: We had a Lambo Murc' in the other week & it had 2 of the said devices on it... I was told it's to do with noise levels - on full song, they open up to allow the system to work to its full, but on tickover & low revs, they stay shut to keep the MOT bods happy. However, they are different in design to these, as they're not operated by a boost supply (all standard Lambo's are n/a) | |

I'm sure ive seen somewhere a device that could be used on N/A cars that's basically a butterfly valve in-line with the rest of the exhaust. If the cars too loud, you can shut if off a little to quieten it down. Think it was primarily for track cars so they could get through noise regs :look:. | |

If someone wants to buy one for their 1.2 8v, after overlooking the details... then let them. | |

quote: Yes I'm aware. I was only clarifying the point before someone with a 1.2 8v corsa posted saying man i gotta get one of these. I don't like how loud my exhaust is, but have it like that for the performance gains. I was just confirming that only for turbo's and giving the reason why. | |

interesting - you keep standard exhaust system... then it basically just removes all restriction as if the exhaust exited just before the cat instead... would probably help with emissions for mot too haha. | |

DB9 has a similar system of exhaust valves like that | |

Similar in concept to the likes of Lambourgini exhausts.. no? | |
