Exhaust Valves for Valvetronic and Active Exhaust Systems

Exhaust Valves for Active and Valvetronic Exhaust Systems

Modern performance cars and custom tuning projects demand more than just power – they require control. Our premium exhaust valves are designed for valvetronic exhaust systems and allow you to dynamically adjust exhaust sound, flow and backpressure. Perfect for tuning enthusiasts, motorsport applications and custom exhaust builds, these systems provide maximum flexibility and unmatched driving experience.

With an electric exhaust cutout or a quick exhaust valve, you can switch between a quiet, comfortable drive and a loud, aggressive exhaust note at the press of a button. Whether you’re upgrading a street car, track build or turbocharged setup, our exhaust valves deliver the ultimate balance between performance and comfort.

Why Install an Exhaust Valve System?

Exhaust valves are more than just sound controllers. They play a key role in optimizing performance and driving dynamics:

• Adjustable exhaust sound – switch between silent, sport and race modes
• Improved flow control – reduce backpressure for more power on demand
• Valvetronic-style operation – fully integrate with OEM or custom control systems
• Enhanced turbo spool – better boost response in open-valve mode
• Ideal for custom exhaust systems, motorsport builds and daily-driven street cars

Types of Exhaust Valves

1. Electric Exhaust Valves

Electric exhaust valves are the most popular option for modern performance builds. They allow on-the-fly adjustments via remote control or integration with your ECU. Ideal for valvetronic exhaust setups, these valves make switching between quiet and loud modes effortless.

2. Vacuum-Operated Exhaust Valves

Vacuum-actuated valves are common in OEM systems but also widely used in motorsport. They use engine vacuum to open or close the valve depending on throttle input or RPM, offering smooth transitions between driving modes.

3. Quick Exhaust Valves

Quick exhaust valves are designed for setups requiring rapid changes in backpressure, especially in turbocharged engines. These valves provide immediate bypassing of restrictive components for improved turbo response and reduced lag.

4. Exhaust Cutout Valves

Exhaust cutout valves allow direct control of exhaust flow. When opened, gases bypass mufflers and resonators entirely, creating a straight-pipe effect with maximum volume and minimum restriction – perfect for track use and drag racing.

Valvetronic Exhaust Systems Explained

A valvetronic exhaust system is an active exhaust solution where exhaust valves control the sound and flow based on user preference or driving conditions. In “quiet” mode, the valves route gases through mufflers for comfortable cruising. In “open” mode, the valves bypass restrictions, giving an aggressive exhaust note and optimizing performance.

Many OEM manufacturers such as BMW M, Porsche, Audi RS and AMG use valvetronic systems. However, our universal electric exhaust valves allow you to upgrade almost any car with the same functionality.

Applications for Tuning and Motorsport

Exhaust valves are essential for a wide range of setups:

• Street tuning – quiet during daily driving, aggressive when you want it
• Turbocharged builds – optimize backpressure for quicker spool
• Track cars – free-flow performance for maximum power output
• Drift cars – loud, responsive exhaust tone under load
• Drag racing – instant open-valve power when every millisecond matters

Installation and Integration

Installing an exhaust valve system can be straightforward or highly customized depending on your build:

• Available in weld-on and bolt-on kits for universal applications
• Integrates with factory valvetronic controls or uses standalone remotes
• Compatible with exhaust controllers, ECU maps and boost-activated switches
• Perfect for custom exhaust systems, turbo manifolds and track-oriented builds

Materials and Durability

Our exhaust valves are built from high-grade stainless steel and heat-resistant alloys designed to handle extreme conditions:

• Stainless steel housings – maximum strength and corrosion resistance
• High-temp electric actuators – reliable even under intense heat cycles
• Sealed components – prevent leaks and ensure long-term performance

Conclusion

Our range of premium exhaust valves delivers complete control over your valvetronic exhaust system. Whether you need an electric exhaust cutout, a quick exhaust valve or a complete active exhaust kit, we provide solutions designed for tuning enthusiasts, motorsport professionals and custom builders. Achieve the perfect balance of power, sound and comfort with high-quality exhaust valves.
