I'm thinking the ExhaustMeister mod might be a good idea so that you can easily control when you want it open.
can you post a pic of the splice that you did? Im curious of where this control valve is and what the splice looks like. I did the mod an entirely difference way and i think your way sounds like it will be easier.
