no car will gain 75hp off that /thread

 

no **** but you will get some gains

 

waste of money, maybe the tc could use it though

maybe...

 

I'd like a couple of those for the goat

Just for the occasional sound

 

not true. id be willing to bet a 1000hp motor car could be choked down by a 2 inch exhaust (lol) and then benefit from this

 

well if your looking for sound i know it will be loud........i saw a 90s trans am with one.......it was crazy loud

 

i think it would be cool to have the mean growl of a straight pipe, then back to stock for cruising around...

 

haha no ****

 

and another thing is its less then 200 bucks.......much much much cheaper then an exhaust setup

 

in their videos tab there is a cobalt ss with one, definately louder!

 

Thats the idea.

Generally, electric cutouts are quite expensive in my view, but do work for what you want, more noise at the touch of a button. I'd vote for manual cutouts, cheaper, simpler to install.

Downside to cutouts is that they are prone to leaking, they don't seal perfect forever. Most people in search of the loud exhaust don't even notice the exhaust leak once it starts, but to me it would drive me crazy.

its not that expensive..........as for leaking in the future ur prob right....

 

For a single weld in valve, it is to me. You are looking at $170 + $50 install for a butterfly valve for your exhaust... I can think of better places to spend $200+ on my car.

 

well install yourself.....

and so can i when it comes to the money.....i just thought this was kinda kool........some people hate loud exhausts all the time.........this is at the flip of a switc

and im curious to see of dyno results.........if its the same gains as an aftermarket exhaust this would be a far cheaper option

 

The thing is, when you do flip the switch, its gonna sound like complete ass. Have you ever heard one of these cars with open exhaust? I have, and its not pretty.

As far as install... Welding in exhaust pipes is a PITA, its almost not worth it to do yourself even if you have the ability and equipment, which most people dont.

 

nah but i have heard a mid 90s trans am.........plus their video it didnt sound like complete ass but w-e i havent seen one in person

 

See, on a v-8, you can get away with it. I ran open headers on my truck for a while and it sounded awesome, but on a 4 cyl, it just doesn't work.

 

mid 90's TA>2.2 balt

 

I have a cut out. I had it put on just after the resonator where the lsj exhaust bends around. I ran for about a day or two with it open, then haven't opened it up since. Its fun for a bit. But highway driving sucks!!!

 

Ide like to do this to my 66' stang when i put the headder's and exhaust on that are waiting in the trunk.

As far as using this on a 2.2.......pointless/expensive/and will hurt your power...

 

ive seen it before...i might get this and get rid of the cat all together

 

i know of 2 ions that run these and some s series guys. good stuff i tell ya. my friends installing one on his supra as well

 

precisely why I dont have one.........it was peaking my curiosity and interest to see what it would for our 'balts

now if i can only get a V8 to fit in my car....

 

but im still wondering if there are any dyno results with this mod.....
