Valved Exhaust for Mini Cooper R53?
Hello everyone,
I have recently begun to explore the options for valved exhausts. My MCS sounds great, but it wakes up most of the neighborhood every time I start it and drive it early in the morning or late in the afternoon. I'm hoping that with such an exhaust system I will be quiet enough to operate it without too much noise when necessary, but that I will still have the option of having the exhaust be very loud should I choose to do so. Would any of you have any recommendations as far as a variable muffler/exhaust system? The only ones I have found thus far are the Varex X-Force and BBK Varitune mufflers, and I haven't found much feedback regarding either of these products.

I've always thought it would be cool to have something like this fabricated by a good exhaust shop. Put an exhaust valve at A, a loud muffler at B and a quiet
muffler at C. You could even leave out the muffler at B if the valve could be used to blend the two by setting it in a mid position.
