I think all international bikes (apart from maybe Canada?) get the stupid servo actuated exhaust valves.

There are plenty of options though:

1) Turn it off using your tuner if it allows that
2) Pull the valve open and use a sheet metal screw to keep it there
3) Replace the stupid damn exhaust and discard the servo motor unit (that was my solution)

I am in the UK and have never been pulled for my exhaust noise and it's a pretty loud D&D Bob Cat.

I've also ridden the bike for several thousand miles through France, Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany and again never been pulled. However I am sure the bike is technically illegal in those countries.

So the trick switch is a good solution if you live there, want to keep the stock exhaust, stay (more or less) legal AND have the bike sound better.

But if you want the best sound, the stock HD pipe needs to go!

Yep +1 with adm, you can get lucky when you are riding through or on holiday, but problem is when you live here, you get neighbours calling the cops, anonymously obviously and they can come to your house and do a sound check if they want to be ****.....les

I am sure I don't have one. Worst case I get an exhaust ticket.

A cut out on an exhaust over here is illegal. However, straight pipes with no mufflers is perfectly OK.

This is not available any more, do you know other companies who sell this?

I’ve seen kind of the opposite. A cutout installed in the exhaust. So, when ya hit the switch it opens the exhaust before the mufflers.
