Exhaust valve bypass switch Exige V6

Hi,

Wonder if anyone can help.. I’m looking for an exhaust valve bypass switch which uses the OEM connector already there behind the cowling behind the steering wheel. I’ve seen a YouTube clip of an owner who managed to purchase the switch for his Exige Final edition. The switch itself fits into the blanked off recess on the aforementioned cowling. I’ve asked Elise Parts if they had it and they’d never heard of it. Are there any Exige V6 owners on here who’ve had this mod fitted? Apparently once fitted it tells you on the instrument binnacle whether the exhaust valve is open or not. My car is 390 Final edition which will be delivered to me next week.

Cheers,

Cowan

Think they might have been a ‘dealer fit’ after PDI and registration, they were removed from factory build for homologation reasons I think after the 380s. My 410 has one and it shouldn’t, defo recommended never drive it without it open!

Cheers! Thanks for that. I had forgotten about Seloc.. Not sure if I’m still a member on there .. it’s only been 14 years! 😄.

Thanks again!
