NX2000 Exhaust

[Tim Rogers]

I agree with what Mark Holden wrote, the VRS stuff that I saw on Jerry Eads' 
VE equipped Classic looked and sounded really nice.
As with any straight-through exhaust, it is not quiet on its own.  Jerry had 
added an Apex'i throttle plate style adjustable silencer that is placed 
after the cat and is controled by a cable in the cockpit.  It is fairly 
effective and of course, totally user controlled but probably a bit of a 
pain if you needed to keep adjusting it.
Jerry had mentioned to me that Andreas Miko had reccomended the use of 
Apex'i's spring loaded silencer that is bolted into the exit of one of thier 
Fart-Can style mufflers.  It closes under low flow / back pressure during 
cruise and opens up as flow & pressure increase with throttle position.
So, possibly the best combination would be the VRS piping, the longest 
possible resonator as Steve mentioned and capped off by an Apex'i muffler 
with the optional active silencer.
