Can a servo Buddy replace an exhaust valve?
The Servo Buddy®, by SkutrNet, is a small electronic device that replaces the servo motor. By interfacing directly with the engine control unit the servobuddy can emulate a fully functional, stock, exhaust valve and motor system.
What happens when the exhaust valve is removed?
The valve typically is spring loaded so if disconnected it will hold the valve in the full open position. Additionally, the purchase of a full or slip on exhaust system often eliminates the exhaust valve. But now that the ex-up valve has been removed what do you do with the motor unit?
