APEXi Exhaust Controle valve

It is a manualy controled butterfly valve which is inserted into the exhaust setup between the cat and the back pipe.

The controls are placed in the dash of the car and from there you can set the position of the butterfly.

In turn this device slows the exhaust gasses and as an affe t silences the car.

A great piece of kit for those of us with a loud exhaust and done want to be heard all the time.

All I got it from here www.nengun.com/apexi/decs-exhaust-control-valve

I wired in everything myself but its too wet to get under the car so I dropped it down the local exhaust specialist to fit it. TIA a handy job so only cost 20 quid. Could do it myself in 20 min but not assed :P

our local traffic cars issue €80 fine and2 penalty points
so its well worth the investment. Can you imagine they pull ya you silence the car they do the test. Then open again and deaffen them as you pull off
