Varex Exhuast

[chrisdicko23]

Basically fited a 3.5inch exhuast to my 33 with 270rwkw and its got a valve inside the exhuast, its the dodgy version of the varex

the exhuast is only sort of quiet when the valve is fully closed, but the gases hav no where to go.

Is it ok to drive around like this to get less attention or is the pressure to high? ( il be driving under 3000rpm)

completely fine

What do you mean dodgy version? Is it a Varex or a knock off? Or one of those Apexi sandwich valves?

[chrisdicko23]

Its a knock off

its a butterfly valve in the exhuast and when its closed its like putting your hand lightly over the exhuastvpipe to slow flow

its still got lots of flow i imagine becuase its stillso damn loud but lags like all hell when closed

Car still starts up fine when valve is closed fully

( i imagine even when the valve is closed fully its not the same size as inside diameter of pipe i.e. Its a 3inch valve mabye, or it dosent close completly)

cheers

Sounds like you don't know what is even on the car if you don't know the size.

it'll be fine, but don't full throttle to 3000rpm either. just light accel

[chrisdicko23]

Well At either ends of the exhuadt there are bends so i cant see in very well only q very small amount and i got the exhuast 3days ago n the previous owner dosent know

yea il just be taking it easy until i get a real varex muffler

Yes I know what a Varex is I have one, I'm saying where in the exhaust is the valve? In the end muffler like a Varex or half way along the exhaust like the Apexi wunder valve? Varex use recirculation through a smaller hole that leads into another muffler...it's a much better/safer design when closed off than the Apexi valve. Either way it should be fine, just avoid boosting and high RPM.

you can drive around with it closed up as long as you arent accelerating hard. it does restrict your exhaust flow a fiar bit, but if you take it easy it will keep you out of trouble

[chrisdicko23]

Its just b4 the diff, no mufflers in this exhuast

But yea il be getting a varex pretty soon but for this week i need it legal noise wise

cheers for the help guys

[Birds]

Are you going for an EPA test? No mufflers will be illegal noise-wise, even with that valve. The standard system is 88 decibels and the legal limit is about 90

[chrisdicko23]

Nah im not but im in traffic very often and seem to have undercovers behind me often, just need it to sound relatively stock

iv got a catback stock systen with 3.5inch flange to bolt straight on for regency if need be but in that case id be screwed from supporting mods and suspension

where do i find the apexi exhaust flap gizmo and do they have a good reputation ?
