A specially manufactured valve-type sports exhaust system (as from the catalyzer version) with a control system of the exhaust valves that are regulated on the basis of load status/dynamic pressure takes charge of processing the high-grade exhaust gases. There is also a sophisticated radio remote control system which facilitates the individual switching of the valve control system between three different modes such as: travel, sports, race. The driver is thus able to adjust the volume of the system individually. The respective status will also be shown on the MMI display if required.
