Currently have no mufflers and love how loud my gt is. The drone gets really bad because I spend a lot of time driving 70-80mph. So I started considering active exhaust. When the valves are open in an active exhaust will it affect performance and sound at all? I know closed obviously will. Also what brand is good for active exhausts. Thanks

Hi Kenny,

Try the Varex active mufflers VMK300-16 made by Xforce.

you can control the exhaust sound with a wireless remote (included).
When closed the exhaust sound is quieter than stock.
I like the sound when its fully open. No drone and NOT obnoxiously loud.
It comes with all the hardware needed for install (cables, remote).

You will need to buy separately the Y connector wire (option to control both R & L mufflers with single remote/control box) and 2 exhaust Tips

Each muffler comes with cables, 2 remote FOB, and control box.
Custom install is highly recommended,
I've had them for almost 2 years now without issues.
This approach is less expensive than the Roush ( >$2K) and Varex Catback (>$1.2k) at American muscle.

Good luck with your research.
