Mechanical Baffles in Exhaust
Mechanical Baffles in Exhaust
So you know how a lot of modem cars have the option to open up the exhaust making it louder by the push of a button? Is anyone aware of an aftermarket option that could be plugged into an existing exhaust? I'm thinking for when i pull into my neighborhood.
Hooker makes a pretty slick one that's adaptive and programmable but it's not cheap!

I use one of these at my muffler.

I wouldn't trust it in a hotter location. It starts opening at 5 PSI. My fabricator said they are more reliable than the electric valves. It is rusting after one winter on salted roads.

I'm using it as a cutout in one tailpipe of the T1R 76S muffler. Makes a quiet exhaust even quieter, especially on startup, idle and deceleration. I just remembered I'm actually using the 63 mm model for that.
That Holley unit looks like they know what they are doing. I don't personally have any experience with these systems, but my concern with all these inline flappers is that they would create some unwanted back-pressure when closed. Also, I wouldn't think that they would make the car any louder when open, just quieter when shut.
For an alternative option, X-Force makes something called a "Varex" exhaust. It uses a flapper, but having it open vs. shut changes how much exhaust goes through the muffler vs. straight pipe. When I finally change out my exhaust, I plan to incorporate one of these. Also might be cheaper than the Holley system.

Along with the standalone muffler, MAP also sells a full cat-back with one of these things.
