yeah but it's still good stuff ..nice and simple mod (and for our c32's ..so you won't lose back pressure/low end performance for having a straight pipes, you can just leave it closed at the start and hit the siwtch on the top end where it would help us a little )

i wonder if it's programmable to open up after certain RPMs and shut below a certain RPM

It should be !

This is want Aston Martin do with the Vanquish. It is programmed to make a loud growl on ignition and start wailing above 3000 rpm (i think) - drool

Variable Valve timing should do that.. have you heard the "VTEC" in the NSX past 5000 rpms.. it's pure sex.. i remember seeing a license plate on an NSX that read "XTC AT 5K"
