apexi ecv

[ecl]

hiya

just seeing if anyone in NSW have any experience with the apexi ecv (suppose to quiet down the exhaust by 10db)

im thinking of getting one and then getting the exhaust engineered... would they pick up the ecv?

thanks

[E_Lu-SHuN]

yup

i have it

excellent

[ecl]

thanx

just one more question

with the valve fully closed (quiet), how does the car feel? restricted?

how bout halfway?

[E_Lu-SHuN]

yeh its restricted,

i dont push it when fully closed but you can notice the difference in response. Its great though if you drive pass cops

halfway.... i didnt really do it half way...its either OPEN or SHUT for me

[fresh]

where can u get them from ?

[danh]

i heard u have to turn the little knob thingy like a million times to get it to open and close, is this the case? and is it adjustable??

also don't u have to cut a bit out of the exhaust system so it fits??

[E_Lu-SHuN]

No you don't have to turn the knob... you can pull it

yeh, you need to go to an exhaust shop so they can place it in for you...the rest is easy

Nengun has them

just checked nengun

u can get this trick little electronic controller that looks like the Apexi turbo timer but actually controls the ecv, you can adjust manually or set it to open at certain rpm

so u can set it to open fully at say 5k rpm, imagine the roar!

just like the ferrari 360 modena's exhaust system.. pretty damn sweet!

that'd be A'PEXi's new ECV system...

[E_Lu-SHuN]

Yeah that will be sweet, but i like where i put my ECV lever....it replaced my cigarette lighter

[Jago]

is there any restriction with it fully open? (at all?) Is flow decreased at all with this installed?

If not, im gonna get rid of the resonator and just stick this thing on, or get them to cut open the resonator and weld up a 3" pipe going straight through it so it looks like it's the real thing. Yes i know im a sneaky bastard

Im intrested in one of these 2! Just waiting for a cop to pull me up and see my cannon and say "defect time!"

Then ill get one

I'm sure mine is worse than yours. I'll have to show you sometime

I'd rather have it in-place and then see the look on the cop's face when he sees how quiet it is, saves doing it later on once the defect notice is given, and saves you going through the whole process of getting it cleared up.

I've got a resonator on my system now... it makes the sound like a deep drone unlike some systems I hear going around.

Does the resonator do anything but reduce noise? Will it reduce the power gained?

If it does, then this ECV might be the option to go after
