What do ya mean Xbox? Which way are you saying it as misinformation, that the valve and servo motor ARE or ARE NOT removed when installing the slip on system only? I took the quoted material about it NOT being removed from the member "Blackers" thread comment.
This was your reply on that thread back on May 2, 2012. Techically you are correct. However, now that nothing opens or closes after slip ons are installed there is no "valve" to mention. Make sense? (Using your line-lol)
I have the slip-ons that come with the Tric.
A butterfly is built into the exhaust manifold, just above the connection point you see in the pic.
As you can also see, other redundant items:
1) Black box houses the actuator motor, located above the engine fan that sits in the belly pan.
2) Cable is the operating cable.
Butterfly is spring loaded, so now permanently sits wide open.
Make sense?
