DesignTek Valvetronic sports exhaust Made from high quality 14-16 gauge T304 stainless steel, hydro-formed muffler cases, radiuses stressed relieved with 2000 degree ceramic fiber and stainless steel wool packed free flow mufflers. The pipes coming off the rear box is made from SUS409. This Exhaust is around 95dbs +/- with the valves closed and around 102dbs +/- open and sounds much throatier.
This unique exhaust configures a dual-tone setup controlled by a key fob which you can switch on the fly. Direct replacement for the factory mufflers and will work with the stock catalytic converters or any aftermarket sport cats designed to fit with OEM exhaust systems
Superb sports car sound, throaty and deep with the valves opened, but docile with the valves closed. You can reuse your factory OEM Porsche tips or you can opt for DesignTek tail pipes
Please note the remote controlers do not come with batteries. You will have to source them at your own cost. The type is CR2025

Porsche Switchable Silencers & Mufflers - Dual-Mode Performance Exhaust Systems
Switchable Silencers / Mufflers offer Porsche owners the best of both worlds—refined, road-friendly exhaust sound when cruising, and an aggressive, performance-focused tone at the touch of a button. Using valve-controlled technology, these exhaust systems allow drivers to switch between quiet and sport modes, delivering enhanced sound, performance, and driving engagement on demand.
Available from Design911, Porsche switchable silencers include both genuine Porsche-engineered systems and high-quality aftermarket performance options, all designed to integrate seamlessly with your vehicle’s existing exhaust components and control systems.
What Do Switchable Silencers / Mufflers Do?
Switchable silencers use internal exhaust valves to control sound level and exhaust flow.
Core Functions:
- Allow selectable quiet and sport exhaust modes.
- Improve exhaust gas flow under performance driving.
- Enhance throttle response and engine efficiency.
- Maintain refined sound levels for everyday driving.
- Deliver a more engaging driving experience on demand.
These systems adapt your Porsche’s character to suit any driving situation.
Why Do Standard Exhaust Silencers Fail or Fall Short?
Factory exhaust systems are designed to meet noise
regulations and long-term durability requirements, which can limit performance
and sound. Common issues include:
- Internal corrosion from heat and condensation.
- Restrictive baffling reducing exhaust flow.
- Fixed sound levels with no adaptability.
- Valve or actuator wear in older switchable systems.
- Limited performance compatibility with tuned engines.
Over time, standard silencers may lose efficiency, sound quality, or reliability.
Why Upgrade to Switchable Silencers / Mufflers?
Upgrading to a switchable exhaust system enhances both performance and versatility.
Upgrade Benefits:
- Dual-mode exhaust sound at the press of a button.
- Improved exhaust flow for better performance.
- Sportier, more engaging exhaust note when desired.
- Maintains comfort and compliance in quiet mode.
- Ideal for road, touring, and spirited driving.
Whether OEM or aftermarket, switchable silencers offer flexibility without compromise.
