I'm looking for an exhaust with BUILT-IN ( not cut-off) valve, either electronic or mechanic, Idially, I would go for 4 inch or minimum 3.5 inch.

I run a 3 inch varex, I like it but I'm wondering if theres not any other option beside the 3.5 inch oval varex exhaust.

I know that. I only found these 2 mufflers. thats why I'm asking if anyone know anything else or maybe custom ingenious DIY.

I like varex because it offer a by-pass valve but its like 600 and 3.5inch. Finding a e-cutout is very easy and super cheap, the problem is to found an ''oem'' muffler with an integrated by-pass, so you can actually run with the valve closed.

Apexi active tail silencer.. pretty sure they can do a muffler with it built in too. Opinions seem to vary on it. At the end of the day, any form of silencing of this sort is going to cause a restriction, even if only slight.

weld a valve like this right after the middle muffler, drill some holes through the butterfly so even at complete shut there is sufficient exhaust gas flowing. Or you can just use it as an exhaust bypass as pictured lol.

I don'T like this option because on open position, it will sound SO LOUD, I will be shy to drive my car lol.

This is an interesting idea that I never thought of. However there's still a problem; it will be straight pipe at all time.

I believe this kind of restriction is a lot more than a simple flapper like the Varex.

I will explain a bit more the problem I'm facing. Our polices judge illegal exhaust on sound but also on STRAIGHT PIPING (stupid, I agree and bad for forced car who need less possible backpressure possible).

So this is what I really like about varex, it's straight pipe once you open the valve and closed, it goes throught a ''S Type route'' and its no more straight pipe.

With the image below, it would obviously cut sound but also still be straight through if a police check with his flashlight.

Hate to say it, but the only way you're going to get away with it being legal is with larger mufflers/better muffling. Straight through w/ offset pipes counts for a dB or 2 usually also. There's no free lunch here. You're either going to drop decibels or drop kilowatts.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
