Another exhaust valve mod thread..

Finally got a chance to wire my exhaust valves open. Super simple and took me all but 10 minutes to do.

What you will need:
A breaker bar (or similar dimensions)
25lb plus metal wire
wire cutters

I removed my diffuser. You don't have to but I did mine while sitting on the ground and not jacked up or on ramps..
1) Shove the breaker bar into the exhaust opening the flap.
2) Cut a piece of gauge wire, I did about 2 feet.
3) Wrap the wire around the actuator, through the hole, and wrap the other side
around the other end.
4) twist the 2 ends together and with the wire cutters, cut off any extra

Donesky.

Its going to sound the same when you get on it as these things open up at about 3.5k RPM. Around down, under that RPM though, these things sound great. I'm not a huge fan of aftermarket exhausts and this a perfect balance for me!

Does this just work on Akra/ MP exhaust or any F10 stock system?
