Lol I agree, think he belongs in an HSV

Ah thats how they justify 160g's by adding a stupid little exhaust valve

dont know why i thought it was relevant but...

The new HSV VE GTS does 0-100 in under 5 seconds.. so they say. Pretty impressive for 75 g's worth.

Yeah that is impressive didn't realise how far HSV have come in the last few models :)

Their speed actually reflects their engine capacity

Apexi have the flipper for sale on Nengun.... ..they are quite cheap aswell..$300? :(

which is only compatible with very few systems i believe......and i hear has no point to it wat so ever....alot of ppl rkn its useless

HKS also have a new exhaust system with it inbuilt

if u wanna see it in action u can watch it here

Bikes have been running these things for ages. But, with more relaxed emissions and noise rules, they've been able to.

Practically every supercar has an exhaust valve. Some of them have multiple pipes, to change the shape of the exhaust so you have the right flow characteristics for low and high RPM.

The first car I can think of that publicised the valves is the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish. But now, the Gallardo Spyder, Ferrari 575M, 612, 599, etc, have it. As does the Corvette Z06.

Check out the Top Gear review of the new Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Apparently once you hit the RPM point where the valve opens, you can hear the car from 2 miles away. And, f**k me, it sounds awesome.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
