I bought this EVC 60mm exhaust controller valve off of Ebay... I chose it because I was hoping I could just slip it inline on my DelicaWorks SS exhaust. It also looks to be heavy duty and well built... at least comparatively. I also wanted it to be electric switch control as that's just easier.
Well, it mates right up but the extra inch of length is too much; causes the exhaust hangers to line up poorly and the tailpiece to hit the leafspring perch. So it looks like I'm going to have to get the tailpiece shortened and one of the new flanges welded onto it.
I might also need to make a larger plate for it so it creates a bit more of a complete blockage... In my quick test I didn't feel much braking force; but I was also just coasting along a neighborhood street at 35mph and not going down a 14% grade. I'm hoping to test that tomorrow.
