You can close the valves and it is relatively quiet - until you hit 3000 rpms, then the valves open anyway. I'm not sure, but you might be able to temporarily disable the valves if you are going to certain tracks with more stringent sound restrictions. You might want to PM K-man S and ask him.
Yes, I did PM, K-Man S and also asked Nick, but no one seems to know. Regarding the closing of the valves, K-Man S as well as others in other threads have stated that this is not recommended at high revs.

I think someone had mentioned that the Dyno showed detonation with the valves closed?

Sure hoping someone has an idea as I hate to install the new system (lots of work) just to find out it is too loud.

Thanks.
