Exhaust Bypass Valves Disconnect

How to links?

 

Bypass disconnect is soooo millennium

These days you can adjust precise opening times by revs and percentage of throttle with my new Ferrari 360 Swiss Army Knife tool... Coming very soon

 

Trace the hoses back from the valves to the solenoids located on the outside (i.e. below the inside tail lights) of the frame rails. Disconnect the electrical connection to the solenoid or pull the vacuum line and plug it with the special Ferrari tool. In the absence of the Ferrari tool, a red golf tee will work. (Has to be red as any other color will result in rough running and SES light). Voila….instant neighbor offenders!

 

hmmm a very big discovery not....

 

Come on now, it's only post 36 for him! We are all old veterans to this but just think back to the first day when you discovered the sun....or the beach....or snow. It's kinda like that!

and to 8202632, just remember, you've got to have pretty thick skin here along with a really good sense of humor. If you don't you might as well go over to the Audi or BMW boards....

On another note, 8202632, what is your car...F1 or stick? I think you should post about how great it is and how the other transmission is totally junk....​

 

Great find OP and love your enthusiasm. It was the first thing I did on my Scud and then a day later reversed it. The drone on the highway was unbearable.

I opted for the Forza Componenti valve controller which comes with a small remote that allows you to manually open and close the valves. I would look into that if you get drone.

I’ve since given it away to my friend since I’ve gone Race cats and S-Line straight pipes. But manually controlling the valves is such a nice option to have (when you have valves)

 

I can second the Forza controller as well. Pulling the lines was the first thing I did as well, putting them back on kept my wife happy! Another thing, I don't know if it's been proven by anything more than the butt dyno, but there seems to be a pretty good loss of low end torque when running them open. Just something to think about

Your butt dyno is well calibrated. It’s been proven but I chose to ignore it since the smile factor gains were much higher

 

I agree....the smile factor (aka the intimidation factor) is very important too. Gotta admit though, when you first get on it and the valves are closed then they open up when you hit that magical rpm...it's almost as good as....well, lets not go there.

I've got the controller and I love to open the valves when I have a tailgater and I am not in a position to run....

 

Haha good one. Pull both paddles and let em Have it. Same goes with straight pipes but it’s followed by flames. People learn pretty quickly. For some reason jerks love to creep up my butt while at a red light.

 

ran wires from a switch in the cabin to each connector, so that I could switch them on and off manually. The only thing you cant over-ride is having them closed when the ECU says open. But, usually I run them open and the closed setting is only to keep the neighbours happy on cold start, so it works well for me. View attachment 2602115 Image Unavailable, Please Login I

 

Better yet, just remove the entire system and cap it off at the canister...really cleans up the engine bay

Ballsy. Mind telling me how much weight you saved? Every gram counts! I have no valves so I don’t need that system. What did you use to cap? I like your solution

 

I will have to check on that, I have an aftermarket exhaust, which is obviously a huge weight savings over stock, but you can get the vacuum caps and hose clamps at any auto parts store for a couple bucks. I have my exhaust pulled out right now so it was a good time to get rid of all the unused and open piping, not to mention the solenoids and ghetto hoses with the wood screws stuck in them.
