Description
– A valve muffler with remote control, also known as a valvetronic exhaust, is a car exhaust system that allows drivers to adjust the exhaust sound and flow using a remote control.
– These systems typically use a valve (often a butterfly valve) within the muffler that can be opened or closed, redirecting the exhaust flow.
– When the valve is open, the exhaust bypasses the muffler for a louder, more aggressive sound; when closed, the exhaust flows through the muffler for a quieter, more subdued tone.
Key features:
Remote Control:
A wireless remote allows the driver to control the valve’s position from inside the car, providing on-the-fly adjustments.
Butterfly Valve:
A common type of valve used in these systems. It rotates to open or close the exhaust flow path.
Muffler Bypass:
The valve directs exhaust either through the muffler for noise reduction or around it for a louder, less restricted flow.
Electric or Vacuum Operation:
Valves can be actuated by electric motors or vacuum actuators, often connected to the vehicle’s ECU (Engine Control Unit).
Customizable Sound:
The ability to adjust the exhaust sound allows for a more personalized driving experience.
