Chris`I Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 German tuner Cobra Technology and Lifestyle has developed a range of aesthetic and performance parts for the Nissan 370Z coupe and roadster. One of them is an exhaust with a remote-controlled butterfly valve that allows the driver to control how loud it bellows. Delivering the same kind of effect you'd get by revving an Aston above 4,500 rpm, you can buy 120-mm pipes with a flap that ranges from "discrete sportiness to pure racing sound." You can check it the sound range in the video after the jump. Even with the flaps open it doesn't seem bad at all, but it might still come in handy for those hamlets where any kind of loud noise is a no-no.

Husky Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 been looking into this for the 350 for a fair while, nice to see it as a simple mod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Husky Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Simple, but I dont think its cheap no it looks like they have made it integrated with the box, mucho money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted May 30, 2010 Author Share Posted May 30, 2010 Simple, but I dont think its cheap no it looks like they have made it integrated with the box, mucho money Yup, its all one unit, not retrofit. Wth the valve closed, it goes through the muffler box as per normal exhaust, with it open it looks like it goes straight to the tips. Cant see a retrofit of this kind of system being easy unless it is a fully integrated unit with the back box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 easy enough to do on the 350z just the units to do it with aren't cheap and you'll have to cut in to your original exhaust to mount up the valves and a new exit. probably about 300 sqids worth of work at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
