Electric exhaust valves

[sweep]

I'm currently in the process of designing and building a Y piece with an electric exhaust valve to completely bypass everything in the normal system, on private roads of course Officer...
However, I'm struggling to find any electric valves now! Have any of you had one on your cars?
I've found some China eGay specials that come with the Y piece already, although the quality of the product I'm certainly questioning, especially at £70.
I thought about a manual jobby, but it's a bit too "bodged" for my liking.
Any ideas chaps?

Hi, there was a thread on this earlier in the year -

Save going over the same ground again.

RatSport 'did' them, although they are out of stock at the moment, and not exactly cheap.

Don't know if the diameter would work but i know the MG TF has a bypass valve built into the backbox on the driver side tailpipe. It worked with a vacuum actuator type thing!

Been looking at fitting one to my MGB for a while but that's a bit lower on my todo list.

The pipe is only about 1.5" though!?!?!?

Just a thought.

Cheers for the replies chaps.

Bit too small I'm afraid, I'm after a 3"!

I thought it might have been but thought I'd mention it as a cheaper alternative!!

Would be good to know if you do find another option other than the Chinese fleabay stuff!!!
