Hi, I’m doing some research on exhausts for my 25 ST. Ideally I’d want one that’s adjustable like can be quiet when I want and louder at other times. I’ve been looking at the valvetronic exhaust but I have heard both good and bad. Ideally I’d wanna keep as much of the original exhaust as possible. I guess people are saying it’s too raspy but that can be fixed with an X pipe being installed. Anyone have any better insight or other recommendations that would be nice.

An X-pipe definetly wouldn’t fix rasp, that is the exact opposite of what they normally are known for. I dont think the Valvetronics are a great choice, mostly because it would be really hard to make them sound right. You would at least need the pair of mufflers, and a pair of Vibrant resonators for it to sound good, but its still pretty raspy.

That’s fair…. Are there really any alternatives from valvetronic that are adjustable?

Not that I know of.
