sounds like the apexi butterfly used to reduce noise. Follow the cable if its a manual version it will look like an old style choke lever, if its the electronic version there will be a switch.

thats a cool thing never seen that before, reminds me of this...

thought the QTP was a good idea as it basically means you have 2 exhausts, 1 legal, 1 crazy loud and open!

In reality aparantly they get caked with carbon & jam up and also leak gas most of the time so it sounds like an exhaust blow.
