Cool Is it possible to have a exhaust button?

If you guys havent seen the new porsche panameras, they have a button which makes the exhaust louder when you press it. The has got to be my favorite button ive ever pressed. Anyway, I always wanted a invidia midpipe but dont want it on all the time. So I got to thinking and I am curious if it is even possible to have a invidia midpipe bypass button of some sort with a stock midpipe so I can just have the f-sport exhaust on without the midpipe, then turn on the midpipe. Has anyone ever done a mod like this on any other car. And about what price range are we thinking. Looking forward to hearing thoughts!

Exhaust electric cut off valve is what you're asking for.
Something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-INCH-EXHAUST-CUTOUT-ELECTRIC-DUMP-Y-PIPE-CATBACK-CAT-BACK-TURBO-BYPASS-STEEL-B-/190815149374?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2c6d781d3e&vxp=mtr

Yes! that is exactly what im looking for. Has anyone ever done anything like this to our cars? Im really interested in this, and that part is only 130 bucks, so maybe its not as expensive as i thought.

Yeah the electric cut off is what you need. Cheap part and the install shouldn't be too bad at a good exhaust shop or similar place. That will give you that nice quiet sound when you need it, but it will be loud when you want it to be.

Yep. But no guarantees that it'll sound nice though

Club Lexus veteran Glen (RMMGS4) has something just like this on his 2GS. Sounds real mean when opened up.
