    Hello,
    My left side exhaust valve is always open. (Vac. Hoses are connected to both valves )
    So I decided to unplug both sides to have an equal pressure.... but it's a bit loud on highway speed. And the car needs some back pressure for smother cruising..
    Where can I buy just the valve, or is it fixable?
    Ferrari want about 3k for a complete exhaust pipe with the valve.
    It's for 09 f430

    Thank you for your help.

    Take a look thro the 430 section for similar previous - you should also find other suggestions such as fitting the Capristo type switchable exhaust valves

    I did look in f430 section, but no luck.
    I'll be installing v. Switch, but first I need to fix the open valve thing.

    I am not entirely certain, but I would think one could cut out the existing valve and weld in a new one.

    This is my plan, but from where can I buy it?

    This is the sort of part you will likely to pick up from a salvage company.

    I get a lot of my used parts at GT Auto Parts in Phoenix. They have new as well, but they do recycle as well.

    One place in LA area that I have used is Exotic Auto Recycling ...
