if i'm not mistaken i think he's talking about a specific type of exaust thats usually on trucks. i've seen it on the show TRUCKS on spike tv on sundays.

basically you have your usual exaust then you have a second shorter pipe coming out of it at some point right after the exaust manifold so when you hit a button it will switch to the shorter pipe. thus creating a shorter path for the exaust to escape. some how that gives a little extra horse power or kick if you will in open throttle.

if i'm wrong, sorry for the waste of space. :P

i am not am expert with exhaust mods but i have seen some problems with them free flow exhaust due to lack of back presseur so be carful with what you do.

The exhaust valve routing thing is useless unless you have a loud engine or a really high horsepower engine, neither of which applys to us. The swithing solenoid is expensive, and unless less restrictive exhausts are illegal in Florida...which they aren't, I know, it is again a waste of time and money.

If you hate the sound of exhausts, don't go for it at all, and if you don't mind a bit louder growl, you can just get a muffler with a removable silencer tip, which brings the noise way down in decibles. The silencer tip is easier to install, a hell of a lot cheaper, and simpler than the electronic mechanism that changes flow.

Good Luck!
