dr_jekyll Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 does anybody have info on who makes active exhausts or where i could have one fitted to my xkr. i love the fact that my car is silent when cruising and generally running around but a guy came to the jag place next to me yesterday with straight through pipes and the sound was mind blowing , but far to loud and harsh to live with all the time, so as ever i want the best of both worlds so a nice active sytem that will open on WOT only wilkl do nicely. just need to find one . as ever all help is greatly apriciated. thanks you lovely bunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I think HKS make these im sure i have seen them on a skyline not sure if they make them for your XKR though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_jekyll Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 if i could find just the actuators im sure i could nock the system up myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 maybe try HKS Europe and see if they do them. Then i think Lee P of SRD is a HKS dealer so he should be able to get one if they do make them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdistc Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 A company in Australia called Varex makes electronic variable exhausts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulley Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I have fabricated a couple of valve bypass exhausts in the past, there are quite a few pre made valve sections available, either electronic control, wire linkage, vac actuator ect, last setup I used a couple of truck exhauster brake valves to bypass as I sourced these inthe stainless size I needed I'm sure if you buy the butterfly valve you could get your local stainless exhaust fitter/fabricator to do wotever you want spec wise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 No it was a HKS one on a skyline, you only need the box , im sure you could adapt it to your own car, have a look on e.bay for electric exhaust valves they will divert to open exhaust.
