Exhaust Control Valve.
The A'PEXi ECV (Exhaust Control Valve) allows you to control the loudness of your exhaust sound. The ECV is installed right after the catalytic converter, and adjustment of the valve is done through a cable run from the cockpit to the valve body. All you have to do is slide the lever installed in the car to get the appropriate sound. With the A'PEXi ECV you'll no longer need to get out of the car to fit a detachable silencer into the tail pipe.

The J-STYLE Exhaust Control valve is incorporated into your exhaust system with a lever puller inside your cockpit to adjust the flow rate of your exhaust. This means you can tone down the exhaust noise dramatically over ANY brand of silencers available on the market today period!

I'm thinking that's gonna be a lot more restrictive than a silencer.
There are relatively quiet exhausts out there and unless you're making insane amounts of horsepower it makes more sense to go with one of those than to get a loud exhaust and then choke it off with one of these valves.
Also, with the valve being flanged for 3" piping (at least the second one) it's not going to fit any bolt-on Integra exhaust except for the Thermal Turbo 3".

the top one and an Arospeed one are made at 2 1/4" for a straight bolt-on after the CAT of a Teg.
They tell me it's not ment to stay closed all the time, basically just on the highway while at a regular speed (making that loud irritating noise).
Like my exhaust, i love how it's LAF in the city... but when i'm on the highway for an hour, that 1 tone at 80mph is annoying.
do you believe this would hurt the engine in anyway on the highway at a set speed (which would be the only use for it)?
