What options do we have for a valved exhaust on our GRY? I liked the Quicksilver one and the price is right but you have to use an app to change the valves which defeats the whole purpose for me, I want to switch frequently and it's probably illegal to pull out my phone and fire up an app just to do this. Are there any other options, preferably in the UK?

Fair point and I would also prefer a dedicated valve controller. Let us hope another manufacturer comes along with one such as the Capristo system I have on another of my cars.

This one comes with a wired remote

Silent mode it is ece approved, sport(opens at 45mph) and race aren't but aren't massively louder and not overly noisy imo....
 
I'd also love the Quicksilver system as it sounds the business, but I absolutely dread using an app. If only there was a chop shop and/or some sort of an automotive cowboy who could jerry rig it to the diff knob.

Finally got around to listening to the Bastuck exhaust on a decent stereo and.. is it just me, or does it sound pretty much the same in all modes?!?
 
sorry, just spotted this thread! Topgear (Bridport) Ltd in Bridport West Dorset have made me a valved system, controlled via a key fob switch thingy, so nice and easy to use. Personally I like a bit of noise ( Ex TVR owner so half deaf, plus I have a titanium valved exh on my GT8 ), anyway, for me it is perfect.....I don't often say such things! Quiet mode is a little more than standard, open valved is not for early mornings escaping a village! Basically it is a work of art as well, and actually looks far nicer than the one you mention above! Will cost a chunk less as well.

Hi Gary. No info on weight or price, best contact Steve Kilcoyne at Topgear, 01308 480 235 or [email protected]. Great system, quite loud when you want it but not crazy loud, and almost normal when valve is closed. Good professional company, been around since early 80s. Cheers, Tim

Hi Tim,
Thanks for the feedback and advice. Saw a white GR on A35 many months ago so may have been yours. I didn't have my GR at the time.
Would be great to hear it in person. I'm very fussy about the sound especially with this engine (coming from v8 Merc).
Kind Regards,
Gary
