GrimmSpeed Exhaust Valve Simulator - Ford Focus RS (LZ) / VW Golf R (Mk7/Mk7.5)
Want that raw sport mode exhaust note running all the time? GrimmSpeed built the Exhaust Valve Simulator as a simple electronic fix for anyone running an aftermarket exhaust without a working valve, or who's disconnected the factory valve actuator and lost the ability to select drive modes. It's a plug and play solution for the Ford Focus RS and Volkswagen Golf R, letting you keep Sport and Track modes selectable with the actuator out of the picture.
This listing covers the Ford Focus RS (LZ) and Volkswagen Golf R (Mk7/Mk7.5, 5G). SKU GRM070044 is sold as a single unit, so if your car runs a dual exhaust setup you'll need to order two.
Key Features
- Simple, straightforward installation
- No bulky mechanical simulator hardware
- Prevents check engine lights and soft codes
- Durable, discolouration resistant finish
- Weatherproof sealed connector
- Sold individually — order two for dual exhaust configurations
Vehicle compatibility, OEM part numbers, and fitment notes are provided in the tabs above. Please confirm your vehicle's exhaust valve actuator style before ordering.
