A RB pre-silencer is not even remotely expensive, and hopefully you figured out that you could just weld a pick-up tube onto your test pipe. Of course, this would be illegal for street driving in your area and you would never pass inspection with it, but we already went over this in a previous thread.

What kind of answers were you expecting? I'm just wondering how logic works in your mind.

Does the car have a header? If so just tap it on tube number 2 at its highest point, use 18 inches of 1/4" copper tubing to dissipate heat and connect this to the inlet for the actuators. The pressure will open them, that simple!

Btw you will need a 1/4" copper compression fitting from the hardware store to make this work.
