The solenoid unpowered state puts atmospheric pressure to the exhaust valves, leaving them open and the exhaust "loud". You have to actively apply 12V to switch it to vacuum to hold the valves closed. At idle with PSE button off, the stock system applies 12V to the solenoid to keep it quiet.

If you simply leave your harness disconnected and open like Joe mentioned, then the valves will stay open all the time (similar to unplugging the vacuum lines from the valves).

So you could route the jumper wires to the cabin and add a switch to manually override valves? Sounds reasonable.

Thanks for posting your work. Very well thought out solution for those subjected to sound limitations at their tracks. Which, most likely, will be all of us sooner or later.

Thanks everyone for the kind words!

Not worth the trouble, unfortunately. But maybe some other enterprising individual will do so!

Yes, you can route those lines into the cabin and hook them up to a manual switch. If all you want is loud vs. stock, then a simple SPST switch is all that is needed to either make or break the connection between the 2 wires.

If you want quiet vs. stock, then you need a +12V source and at least a SPDT switch.

Piling on with the compliments here, but worth it ... outstanding, simply outstanding what a great bit of info, tech and "how to" as well !! Thanks Mech33.

I got the parts... lets see if I can actually follow directions. I bought some extras so I will make a few more if mine works!!!

Awesome! Thanks for doing that. I'll try to get it assembled soon.

What an AWSOM REPORT! I can't imagine the work it took to put this together but, I think I'll just try to "wire" the flaps closed. Can you please comment on how to accomplish this procedure. Many Thanks, Allan
