Is this going to be done by RSCS and are you going? I hope so, looking forward to having a detailed nosey at the beast lol

Sorry mate. Will get some lol.
As for the valve it's an apexi exhaust valve. Basically it quietens the exhaust down. You have a small lever in the car and when you pull it it shuts the valve. You lose power whilst it's shut, buy it shuts e exhaust up for motorway driving etc.
Then when you want the power flip the switch open the exhaust back up and away you go.

Awsome, well its looking mega so far, looking forward to seeing it finished

Ok cheers Stav , how easy is it to wire up , ie is there electronics involved in this LOL
Little write up on the evolution of my car - Sparkystav - 24-12-2019
No no electronics mate, it's got a wire like a throttle cable. So you just need to feed it through from the cabin to the exhaust.
You can get electric ones too but I'm not sure I'd trust them. But that's just me.

perfect, I think he might be interested in getting this done also

Sparkystav You can get electric ones too but I'm not sure I'd trust them. But that's just me.
Will let you know I have just welded my electronic one in. The noise difference is great and throttle is slightly more responsive.
The local garage wouldn't do it (as it makes the car technically illegal when valve open) - but let me use their life and welding kit.

Did you weld yours inline or on a y piece? Would interested to see how they cope long term with the heat. That's my main concern with the electric ones.
