first off, awesome job getting samples done and actually putting money where your mouth is.
i guess im confused as to how the system is actually working. When you hit the button for the valve to open, what exactly is happening? exhaust gas is still going through the muffler but essentially straight piped through? im assuming its not bypassing muffler entirely bc of location of the valve mechanism near the tips.
