its a piston that keeps the noise minimal then when you nail it the piston opens and lets it flow more and the noise increases, but i am kinda optimistic about how restrictive it is

Hi I\'m from aberdeen,
 Normally I\'m not a FD\'s man but your\'s car look very nice and clean.
it\'ll be good to leave like this without awfly body kits added.
see you around in the town somewhere sometime.

Hiya, welcome to MRC and all that :Thumbs-up. Nice example you have there, can spot Enkei wheels, RE Amemiya front end and by the sound of it an Apexi active silencer. Hope it\'s a goer when you get it on the road

thanks,so do i lol, it also had ohlins coil overs on it, an apexi filter kit and a blitz dump valve. the only thing i am wanting to do to the exterior is put them little bits on the bottom corners of the rear valance just to finish it off.

Interesting! Got any links for product spec for this? I imagine if it\'s not \'too\' restrictive it might help some of us on MOT day! XD

im an mot tester and all seriousness your exhaust would have to be really really really loud to fail an mot or the tester was a pure c@#t (c@#t)! i dont have a link to that tail pipe thing, i am looking at the documentation for it now but its in japanese the only bit in english is the heading and it says "active valve tail silencer"

Welcome aboard :D One little concern is to swap the front plate so it doesn\'t restrict the air flow into the intake on the bumper. Looks a nice example !
