----------------------------

Enter the VES (Virtual Exhaust System)…….A system that works “on demand†at the onset of boost on turbo and supercharged vehicles to free up all the backpressure (just as a large exhaust system would) in the exhaust stream so the engine can make maximum power. The VES system works as an active dump tube that completely bypasses the restrictive exhaust system when boost is present. As soon as the turbo spools, the valve begins to open. By the time the turbo makes full boost, the valve is fully open.

 

Highlights of the way VES works:

 

* Completely quiet and stock-like sounding during startup, idle, and cruising.

* 0 delay in valve response to boost, yet very smooth transition into boost mode.

* Automatic open/close under boost using existing boost source on turbo engine and does not rely on wing nuts or electrical motors.

* Integrate a boost controller to control when the valve opens or completely turn it off.

* Addresses virtually all complaints associated with large 3†cat-back exhaust systems.

Anyone think this is a true performer.. or some cheapo gimmick?!?

Seems like it would work great.. just wonder why they didnt make it from a Y peice though. Also seems alittle expencive. but what a neat item. I am sure it would help in teh HP department.. exp with stock exhausted cars..

Seems like it would help you spool up quicker and get you tickets for Db levels. But do you think it would actually boost power? I don't.

It works just like a cutout, except its vacuum activated (as long as the bypass is large enough in diameter). This removes backpressure from the system.
