from what i was told of the law on it is that the opening and closing of the setup emust not be driver controller so basically the ecu must be controlling it to be legal. as for the spring loaded exhaust flap thing, its legal cos its not a driver controlled setup. the new gen 2 ve clubbys have the flap type thing and it souds vicious with it open in the higher revs only so wud easily pass any noise test as at that rpm it never opens

Would it be possible to use the auto controller on V7 sti ic spray? Just splice the control of exhaust into that circuit?

Just a thought.

Just hide the switch like I have hidden mine. Never be seen if the WOF guys didn't know it was there. Even if you hided the whole top part so that they didn't know it was actuated you could get away with it...

What they don't know doesn't hurt them

just don't take it to VTNZ, go to a wof place with a brain and you'll be fine.

Well matt, consider my GTB's exhaust. full 3" catless turbo back, with no chambered mufflers in sight. And that sits dead on 95db. Even with one of these mufflers on full noise, there's a chance it can still be legally loud, so the only legal issue is the control of it.

Did we ever figure if the exhaust controllers in the BG's were ECU controlled? There's no pin on the ECU AFIAK, unlike the BH's. Or atleast it's not made obvious with the pinouts we have.

And yeah, a hidden switch might be the go. Consider chrisjunkies setup.

you have res's tho im going to have none just straight mid pipe.. and id like to be quiet in the mornings

I have one 3" straight through. I don't get your point anyway... I thought we were talking legality.

waste gate wouldn't give off that subaru rumble tho would it? point in this is cause i like spotmes car humble and quiet through town but i love reubens on the open road deep and raw, also my parents are pissed off with me starting the car at 5.45 am right under their window so i might be able to get them to buy it for me

Or you could be a big boy and move out of home....

Surely though the Varex could be hooked up to the GTB's actuator?? It wouldn't be that hard to pull the trim off and see what pin on the control motor has power/earth and when....

i have a switch on the dash controlling the factory BH exhaust actuator

Not a real big subaru rumble but is high flows style, am using a siamese DP but the rest is the stock exhaust

I did a mod to my Factory BE muffer, in which I install a dump pipe on the pipe between the valve and the muffler.

Sounded like a wastie au!!

But just found a nice JDM muffler for cheap at a wreakers.
