Second, the stock exhaust muffler has an internal valve that from what I understand from Dinan is actuated by exhaust pressure. Higher revs would open the valve. There is no valve inside the Dinan muffler. The pipes were installed as high up as possible. The perception from me and the distributor for Dinan that installed it is that they want you to see the muffler to some degree for a sportier look.
Never heard of this internal valve and none of the pics I've seen of the internals show such a thing. I have to call BS on this one. Most exhaust valves operate on vacuum and not pressure.
