Valve system exhausts incorporate electronically or mechanically controlled valves in the exhaust path. These valves can open or close depending on driving conditions or driver input, allowing:

• A quieter, more refined sound during normal driving with valves closed.
• A louder, more aggressive, and freer-flowing exhaust tone when valves open, typically at higher RPM or under acceleration.
• Optimization of exhaust backpressure for improved performance and efficiency.
• Compliance with noise regulations when valves are closed.

This system offers the best of both worlds—comfort on regular drives and thrilling sound and performance when desired.
