TDIPLC Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 An excited client directed me toward this today link Obviously I couldn't believe my eyes, and when I picked myself off the floor I realised that there must people that buy stuff like this.

Adie Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Wow that really is cool. Do HKS make one Mark? It just looks very dodgy to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 isnt that the same sort of thing that the high class sportscar manufacturers do valve type thingy on exhaust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDIPLC Posted October 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 isnt that the same sort of thing that the high class sportscar manufacturers dovalve type thingy on exhaust Not that vents to atmosphere unsilenced, or at 90 degrees to the exhaust flow Anyone ever heard a completely unsilenced exhaust before? It's not pleasant. I wonder how long the the flap seal will remain intact for after being subject to carbon build up and general "under car" environmental abuse? I wouldn't be surprised if it leaks like a seive after not very long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 technically they are a good idea....as we all know turbos like no back pressure, however......all the reports ive read on exhaust "cut out valves" indicate that there actually crap, because the flaps jam, and the exhaust leaks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discount tyres dan Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 a friend of mine had a 1966 mustang that had a valve on it that look very old, after the down pipe there was a 'Y' shaped section, one branch went through the rest of the system and the other side was blanked off with a removable plate, once the plate was removed there was obviously a lot less restriction but a lot more noise too. ok so it had to be done manualy but it must be the same idea, normal driving with the plate on.. track days.. plate off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This item in question vents completely unsilenced exhaust to the atmosphere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
