    Hi Guys,

    I need some help with installing a switch inside the car so that I can have the exhaust valve open or closed when I want.

    Is this easy to do??

    What do I need to do this and how do I do this??

    CM- Most of those hard switches have been installed by dealers or techs, but many owners have installed the Capristo remote bypass control systems by themselves. Pretty simple with the Capristo unit hooking into the original harness and the original solenoid attaching to the Capristo unit. Requires one additional ground wire.

    Thanks Terry,

    I plan on getting the dealer/ tech to install.

    I just wanted to understand what had to be done before they went ahead....

    Thanks Grant,

    I personally prefer the idea of e=being able to control the sound.

    I have just ordered the other system and hope that it works well....

    I guarantee you will not be disappointed as myself and quite a few others have installed these mods with excellent results :)

    You almost do not need to do the mufflers themselves; secondary cat bypass pipes + valves will give you 90% if not more of the benefits (weight, sound, hp) compared to the full cat back system.

    TT- Not that I have seen. Just the remote. If you had a switch, you would not need the remote.

    what a great innovation from Capristo. Anyone install the valve controller on a HGTE car?

    I had the fabspeed cat bypass installed today. Sound is absolutely ferocious. Capristo remote valve will be the next upgrade.
