Boost activated exhaust cutout valve

I would prefer a set which can also be overruled by the push of a button e.g. this one (see link). Although it will probably require quite some fiddling. First of all the welding of the valve into an Y-section, subsequently fitting the Y section into the current exhaust set-up and finally connecting it all: turbohose from valve to .....? Furthermore, I prefer to have no additional buttons in my car, so I would want to have it connected to one of the buttons that is currently not in use (e.g. the one next to the ASR-off button)

The one I posted can indeed not be overrided for both positions. Default setting (for this one) is closed. If you switch it off, then it will stay closed, which is what I want (I think). I.e.: no noise, also no noise under accelleration. If you switch it on, then there would only be noise under accelleration. Not while starting the car, stationary or while cruising.
The electric valve would provide more control indeed. But that one can't be set in such a way that it only opens under accelleration....

Yep it remains closed mainly until boost pressure is realised (not sure if this is hard coded or manually set that would be the hard part controlling when the cutout valve actually opens) but form the results I have seen online it looks like a mad way of realising some extra horses. It would be ******* loud though, as loud as mine at the moment then a little more!

The valve featured works of positive pressure not vacuum though I believe. It is perfectly reasonable to fit vacuum operated ones however, just picking up from the servo system. I think it is easiest to go 12v electronic though...
Mount toggles under drivers seat and pick up the live feed to the seat for power.

You can order both, vacuum or boost controlled. I had a vacuum controlled valve fitted to the Capristo exhaust of my F355 Spider, and that one worked a treat. I would guess that in a turbo charged car like the 3200, the boost controlled valve would be preferred against a vacuum one as you would only want to have the noise under accelleration = if and when the turbo's kick in.
That is also the reason why I would prefer it over an electronic set-up, as the latter one will be either fully open all the time or fully closed all the time (i.e. unless you would want to manually switch it off/on all the time while driving).

is that not the ejector button for the passenger seat?.................I just thought mines was broken
