well....so far this is the fruits of my labors.

Soundclips to come

 

hey look, an electric cutout :O

 

interesting. Curious, when the valve is closed doesnt that create backpressure in the pipe coming out of the rest of the main downpipe?

 

a little probably.


btw, anyone reading this, has anyone used a baffle before in their muffler to quiet it down?

 

Now now, no scaring the ederly pedestrians.

 

haha yes could be tempting....


witt what do you think of something like this?

If you are talking about one of those baffle inserts I heard they work well and take the place of a cat for muffling the raspy exhausts.

 

oo excellent. me goes shopping.

cheers man.

 

jesus my cutout is loud after two resenators, I can imagine how that will sound.

 

ear destroying is what it will sound like!

I like the idea though. good stuff.

 

nice dude i just picked up my 3" cut out last night. having mine welded in at the same spot. I've started the car up without the catback on and its sounded orgasmic, i cant wait to get mine in.

 

i drove aorund town with a downpipe for like 2 days, b/c i needed to get aorund while my exhuast was being fabbed lol and it was all cut up, i loved the sound

 

saweet!!! open pipes at the switch of a button...ftw!!!

 

This is too awesome!

 

i dont think that a cutout will even increase power will it i have ran with catback off before and feels like it has no power


at the track .4 sec slower on avg

 

i couldnt care less if it sounds like a kubota tractor (which it probably will)
0% of this mod was done for sound

with what mods

 

i ran open header last night (thanks to a fualty "upgraded" header bolt) and holy crap, was i embarrassed driving home! but it's totally different when you're doing it on purpose curious to see if it helps or not.

 

god damn! someones takin me for a ride! LOL

 

i like this ...

more pic of installed plz

 

Your running catless right?If so,whats the point of a cutout?Im guessing you have an exhaust also,so i really dont see you getting any gains from this.These cutouts are for people that wanna keep there exhaust stock and keep it nice and quiet for when there not at the track.Plus i heard these things dont seal properly after a while and youll get a constant leak from them.Either way good luck with it.

 

what actually cause electric cutouts to leak is lack of backpressure, most of these valves require some sort of back pressure, im an instrument tech so what hes working is something i sell daily to normally control water flow or gas flow etc....


do technically speaking it shouldnt leak, if it does, its a MFG design flaw, his exhaust isnt all that loud when he drives anyways

 

I've heard cutouts on SS/SCs and quite honestly, they sounded like ****.

 

is he goign for sound no lol

 

buddy of mine had a 320+ hp srt4 and he had straight pipes no resonators with an electric cutoff in the downpipe and fully open he was setting off alarms in parking garages on different levels when he was pretty much at idle, semi closed he was your average loud as ***** exhaust

 

pos quick time cut out

take that **** off there. red locktite every single nut and bolt that holds it together. case, butterfly screws. everything. you will thank me later.
