Apexi - Exhaust Control Valve

[silva33]

I also had an Apexi N1 which on idle and cruise was great but sounded fantastic on full noise....

well blitz is the only one ive herd from ppl with a very nice sound. if the trust power extememe 2 is as good as u say id be more then happi to get one.

thanks for ur input guys......i guess the ECV is out

IMO it has a nice note, which was my 2nd reason for buying the exhaust. Before the PE2 I just had a straight-through 3 inch catback, sure it was very loud but it just didn't have the right note/growl, it was just loudness. I'm actually more satisfied with the PE2, quiet but very nice note.

Don't people buy exhausts for the note anymore these days, or is it all about the louder you go the bigger penis you get? (Peformance being main reason of course I hope)

Are the ECV really that crap?

If you buy an ECV the car will be quite but will drive like a Fiat 500.....

Sounds a bit silly but if you wanna test how well an ECV will work, just get an old book and hold it over your rear cannon to seal it off on idle. You'll find some of the noise goes away but you can still hear the majority of the note.

i think ill stay away form the ECV...lol

YES!!!!! busy2k. Right on the money there.

It's hard to beleive, but when fully closed, the ecv basically sits perpendicular to the pipe. Yet for some reason, it still manages to let gas through due to the force of the gas pushingg it open slightly.
