I had the opportunity to buy an NOS VOE set up from Dennis Kirban years ago for about $500.00. I passed on the VOE and got an NOS shifter and wood wheel. The VOE was unavailable with Ram Air and the Judge option, because the actuator button's bracket was similar and mounted in the same place as the Ram Air bracket. Should have ponyed up the cash back then what a cool option to own now.Oh well hind sight is alway 20/20.

I thought the VOE switch was right next to the Ram Air knob that movie Rita posted...

I noticed that as well, but from what I have researched and have been told over the years you could'nt. Maybe that was a prototype car. Who knows but I will check with a few other sources to verify what I have said . Mike

You need an extra arm putting in the upper seal and pan. I asked some questions regarding the VOE set up. My info which came from Kirban and sources some 12 -15 years ago may not be correct. I spoke to GTO_Don who asked Jim M about this topic it seems you could get both options together. There is even a RA IV that has the VOE and Ram Air options. It was such a short lived option due to states complaining about noise levels that many people did not know about it. What a killer option to have on a Judge!

I wonder which RAIV GTO VOE you speak of? I ask because I know of one and it's a dealer-installed car. I'd be willing to bet this is the same car.

Now I anm confused about the VOE option. Tom Demauro's book quotes John Sawruck as saying that the VOE mufflers when actuated would reposition the baffles from the quite Lemans muffler tone to the more agressive stock GTO tone, and they were not available on Ram Air cars. But if a Ram Air IV car has it listed on it's paperwork somewhere I guess it got installed under the radar.
