It is a pitty it is designed so loud that you cant use it for autocrossing or ordinary track days. |
I think "loud" is in the ear of the beholder, what is loud to one person is not loud enough to another. The whole point of the
Capristo valve system is to have the car quiet under normal driving and then louder and freer flowing under performance driving. Certainly this was clear from the videos posted on this site and on YouTube was it not? If the valves open puts you beyond some limit for decibels set by a track then either you can drive a different track with no such limit, or you could disconnect the valves and leave them closed although
Capristo cautions that doing so increases the backpressure in the exhaust system which may have negative results - so far it isn't proven to have negative results, but
Capristo is issuing that warning so people go into it with both eyes open. Contact a member here named arcticsilver who put in his own over-ride switch and ask him how that is working out for him.
