Anyone put VAREX mufflers on their X?

My mate has an S15 that he put VAREX Mufflers on. They are variable so can be straight through when wanted and employ the muffler when not.

It doesn't affect the tuning once tuned to the muffler itself just the sound output. I am looking at these because we only have one car and when I drive it I like it to look and sound grunty but my wife drives it and she wants it to be quiet so she can hear lady gaga.....

Also would help to put it on quiet mode when the bacon pulls up next to me.....

So anyone tried these before or have an opinion?

This is his S15 (with the VAREX installed)

Agency Power makes some similar stuff (electronic valve controlled exhaust w/ remote) for the E63 M6...not sure they have anything for the X5 though...

Wow, this trick has been around for some 20 odd years now, in the old day, it all manually adjust with a lever that they install next to the hand brake.

Don't see the point of this on an X5 because V8 are not as noisy as those SR20 on full boost (most with straight through system) unless you go full headers.

The bacon only pull over VN comonwhores with holes in their exhaust.
