    i have a stock exhaust manifolds with a tubi muffler. The previous owner removed the exhaust valves. While the sound is pretty cool, the noise level gets very tiring going down the freeway. For those that have the valves, is it closed during cruising down the freeway? If not, is it harmful to get a manual control and close the exhaust valve at freeway speeds?
    I see exhaust valves on eBay, would those work?

    Youtuber Normal guy Supercar installed aftermarket exhaust valves on his car. They kept breaking. Look him up on YouTube and search for his videos, it’s probably been 2 years since he posted about the valves. Caveat emptor.

    did he remove them or just disconnect them? if they were removed, that sucks unfort. the open or close depends on how much throttle ur giving it - so if ur cruising at speed on the freeway and low rpms they are closed...

    Likely just disconnected and need the hoses reconnected.

    If he removed the valves he would have had to weld a pipe section in its place- if removed then look on e bay for a used set of pipes and swap them.
    More likely he has just plugged the hoses, just reconnect them

    The YouTuber is a good example of what NOT to do.

    The valves are definitely gone. I wish they were only disconnected. While cruising at 80mph it’s probably at 4000 rpm and kind of too loud to just cruise at a length of time.

    Tubi has 2 exhausts - one with valves and one without. You have one without it sounds like.

    Yup. Trying to figure out a way to put valves back on somehow.
