was wondering how it sounded... i know its not gonnas sound like my srt-4 but i might buy 1 for the t/c

 

can u get that for any car or??? i know its a noob question but i had too ask, i test drove a srt4 a while back and it had it and i thought it was the coolest thing in the world lol!

 

yes, you replace a small section of exhaust with a cut out and every, so it will fit on 99.99% of cars, 100% of street legal cars. You can get a manual, or electric. Saw a vid on youtube once sounded like **** maybe just the internet. But cant find the link

 

has anybody done this on the cobalts? the srt i test drove sounded sick with it!! where can you buy one?

 

well the one i saw on youtube was an ss

imma look for it

so wait.....can u put the cut out on a factory exhaust or?

 

omg people do some research. all you do is weld it in line with your exhaust wherever you want it. they come in a variety of different diameters. its not rocket science

 

seriously man

clear image has electric and manual cutouts on their DP's.

available.

 

If you have pipes coming out your hood then it wont fit.

 

I had one of the vacuum activated ones from ATP Turbo on my MR2. It went for 3 years without a hitch until I switched to a different exhaust. Everyone I know locally who's done an electric cutout has had it fail, thus why I opt'd for the ATP unit.

 

i am just getting the facts straight, this is a forum, and people ask questions on forums. so where cud u get one that would fit the stock ss/sc exhaust? or is that just another annoying question?

 

yo those are the only videos i see...only reason i wanna buy 1 is to make it a sleeper look...on top of that i dont feel like having an aftermarket exhaust and getting pulled over for it...but i wanna see how it sounds on the lnf

try modernperformance.com they have it for the t/c and sc also

 

hey gimp, where did u get it, would it work for the ss/sc on the stock exhaust or?

 

CLEAR IMAGE HAS A DOWN PIPE WITH ELECTRIC CUTOUT!! FOR THE LNF!

ok i said it. if people dont want to believe it. ok

 

They're available from ATP Turbo (google it), but often out of stock due to popularity. Just so the mod's dont harass me... I'm in no way affiliated with ATP Turbo. They have a 2.5" and a 3.0" model.

It won't just bolt-on to your car. It will require you to take the vehicle to an exhaust shop and have it welded in.

 

bro we read it calm down lol no neeed to rage

 

i know. i just plan on clear image, so lettin u know. im going with a semi quiet exhaust. but with this DP.


def going to suprise people

 

i think cobalt-addiction sells them

 

so would this work on a stock s/c exhaust? if so i am soo getting it!

bro go to modernperformance.com..click on cobaltss tc and click on exhaust and they have a the cutout right there....the one on ebay only has the the accessories no pipe and ur spending 135 for it haha also u can see wat im talking about on this website to get an idea from the picture on what it looks like http://www.quicktimeperformance.com/QTEC/index.php

 

Boost activated cutout... thats a pretty neet idea. Opens only when you're under boost, no need to flip a switch or whatnot.

 

has anyone dyno tested cut outs on the tc? and how does the power band look do you lose all you low end torque?

 

hahn has cutouts too.

 

dromano89 has one on the lnf, sounds aight, dont know how it would work with a tune though i mean you get tuned with it open and then close it and your air flow is different!

 

My take on the cutouts - considering I had one on the car for a SHORT time.

Dont buy cheap. Even some of the nice expensive ones leak when they are closed, but since this was an experiment for sound I got one of the cheapest I could find (used) - its the one you can get from jegs I think. Terrible exhaust leak at idle. Sounded like crap when open at idle.

The sound under WOT wasn't too bad though, just loud.

Problems I encountered - It kept triggering a P20xx (I cant remember the exact code) - I have a catless downpipe and don't trigger any codes without the cutout on there. The really odd thing is for some reason it was screwing with my AFRs (with or without the code!). Id be sitting at idle (cutout closed or open) and it would richen up to 9:1, then suddenly recover to 15:1 or even 16:1! It couldn't hold stable at 14.7:1.

Heres a video I made with it - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iw2ODRztqkg

After encountering so many problems, rather than getting a high quality valve I just gave up and put the plate back on the exhaust cutout. No problems since.
