Installed an Apexi Mechnical Pully Silencer =)

[Assassin]

Hey ppl,

Just installed an Apexi Mechnical Pully Silencer on my R34 last night at BMT. Damn my car/exhaust is quiet when the silencer is shut...quiet than any cars on road...cant rev is at all when its shut cause it makes a scary sound...sounds like a person screaming if rev above 3000 when shut. If sounds good when silencer isnt shut =)

Thanx the boys from BMT...they spent the whole night on my car...didnt leave the place until 12am.

How does it run with it closed? Still drivable? How far do you have to close it? I was looking to get one.

when its fully closed...it doesnt run...haha...its pretty pathetic. its ok for normal driving...slow acceleration n no high rev.

but u can adjust its ie.fully shut, 1/4 open, 1/2 open, 3/4 open or fully open.

yeh it works well. prolly dropped my car about 7-8 db. My car was 100db, so now its almost legal, and sounds like a vacuum cleaner when revvin. Cant really rev more then 4k.

its a silencer (flap at the CAT) that you can open/shut from inside your car.

Apexi Exhaust Valve Controller isnt that what its called or somthing not too sure i know some people that have it on thier car which is sweet, but if they do somehow get you for a epa and they do test the exhaust they will fail you with that in there. BUt still i nice toy just in case your going through a booze bus or something

[Guest RedLineGTR]

Sorry how much did it set you back if you dont mind saying ?? cheers Rob

[EnricoPalazzo]

i got direct from greenline. cost was aprox 170-190ish.

if u need to go thru epa, just put a restrictor plate in exhaust. thats wat i did in sa and its fine with them.

APEXi ECV (Exhaust Control Valve)

The A'PEXi ECV (Exhaust Control Valve) allows you to control the loudness of your exhaust sound. The ECV is installed right after the catalytic converter, and adjustment of the valve is done through a cable run from the ****pit to the valve body. All you have to do is slide the lever installed in the car to get the appropriate sound. With the A'PEXi ECV you'll no longer need to get out of the car to fit a detachable silencer into the tail pipe.

Bwahahahaha that would be a c0ckpit adjustable unit!!! :D Easy on the language Rob!!!

[Oyabun]

Very useful little unit!

I have one on my Cefiro and it's awesome when you have to drive next to cops or cruising with your grandparents.

NOTE: Watch out accelerating too hard with silencer in - likely to cause detonation... only good for cruising ... great to remove the 'drone' when highway cruising.

Good to hear you finally got it in... how'd you go with the high flow cat??

For anyone else that's interested I can get these direct from Apexi here.
