Thanks for the video post. The open and closed valve demo was helpful.

Would have been nice to have a before video showing the standard sound vs after market sound level and tone. Of course at the same distance from the car.

I was also trying to compare the change they made from the RC-F stock layout in the 2 images here:




Will be interesting to compare with JoeZ when he has a production solution vs his prototype video.

Sidebar:

I wish there was a standard aftermarket spec of exhaust sound level db vs RPM that one could compare against.

Wow. Sounds awesome. Very cool to have both options at the push of a button.

hard to tell because the sound quality wasnt that great. Im sure it sounds similar to the Novel ISF but deeper. This video has better sound quality but this had headers too

Keep in mind that videos for exhaust clips really do no justice!

I like the sounds of it over their isf exhaust. Why would you go to a to a design like this over X and true duals?

like others have said, going from an X and true duals to a single and back out, i wonder if the system either loses power or just stays the same.

Seems like they removed the front cats and joined the piping in the middle before splitting it again before the rear cats
