We've all seen, and more prominently, heard almost every pick up truck on the road with the same loud rumbling exhaust sound. Some of us have also been lucky enough to experience the sound of corvette made in the past few years. There is a feature on Corvettes called the "mild to wild" switch. This effectively turns the Corvette's exhaust system from a modest but incredibly powerful sound, to a deafening, vibrates your guts sound.

This makes me very jealous and since I'm not going to be able to upgrade from my 97 f150 to an almost new Corvette any time soon, I thought it'd be pretty cool to at least have a sound similar to one. While it would be easy to simply cut the muffler out of the equation and go with straight open pipes, that would completely defeat the purpose of having a stereo system, or after a long enough period of time, ear drums. So to have a switch that would control the exhaust's loudness would be perfect.

Does anybody know of such a product or set of parts you can buy separately to install to gain this effect? If so please tell me.

thank you very much if you help me out

Electric cutoff, its basically a y pipe with one part that is a valve and has a electric switch to it, Im gonna do it very soon, keep my stock exhaust and then do a straight pipe so I can control the noise of my truck, of course after the cats

Much more expensive then just a electric cutoff though

powerboatr

no body mentioned price


a "Y" and a cable you could have cutouts on the fly for cheap
then out to some lake pipes

You could do this type, as well.

You can't change it, on the fly though.

If you add an extension on the quiet side and a cutout on the racing side then y them together.
When you want loud open the cutout and it will run through the loud side. When you want quiet close the cutout.
