How the ECV Works:

The Apexi ECV uses a spring-loaded butterfly valve that rotates inside the exhaust pipe. When closed, the valve restricts exhaust flow, reducing sound output. When open, the valve allows unrestricted flow for maximum sound and performance. The cable-operated control allows you to adjust the valve angle from inside the cockpit, giving you complete control over your exhaust sound.

Better Than Traditional Silencers:

Unlike traditional muffler silencers that are fixed and require removal/installation to change sound, the ECV is adjustable on-the-fly. This means you can have a quiet exhaust for daily driving, cruising through neighborhoods, or avoiding noise complaints, then open it up for track days, spirited driving, or showing off at car meets.

Spring-Loaded Design:

The spring-loaded butterfly valve ensures reliable operation and consistent performance. The spring provides positive pressure to keep the valve in position, preventing unwanted movement from exhaust pressure or vibration. The valve can be adjusted to any angle between fully closed and fully open.

Cable-Operated Cockpit Control:

The included cable control system allows you to operate the valve from inside the cockpit. Simply route the cable from the valve to a convenient location inside the car (typically near the shifter or center console), and you can adjust exhaust sound without leaving the driver's seat.

61mm Flange-Type Design:

The 61mm (2.4") flange-type design makes installation straightforward. The valve can be welded directly into your exhaust system or installed using flanges for a bolt-on solution. The 61mm size is compatible with many aftermarket exhaust systems.

Universal Fitment:

The ECV can be installed on any vehicle with 61mm exhaust piping. It's commonly used on turbocharged cars, performance exhausts, and vehicles with loud aftermarket exhaust systems. The valve can be installed anywhere along the exhaust - typically after the cat-back or mid-pipe for best results.
