can someone please explain how these work? how difficult installation is and if its worth it or not? I don't understand how these give power gains either

 

It works by welding the cut out into your exhaust before the cat, wire the switch in the car, and then when you flip the switch it will close off your exhaust system and let the exhaust out sooner without having to travel through your cat and the rest of your exhasust system

Power gain comes from letting the exhaust out sooner with out restriction

 

Yep! X2 ^^^ I have one on my SS/TC and it works great!

 

Thanks for this just on all the descriptions for them it doesn't explain it very well. I had to the idea just wanted to make sure

Awesome, does it work with aftermarket exhausts? It does right? :P

 

Ya as long as you can weld the cut out into your current exhaust ull be fine

 

ok thanks

 

i was wonderin the same thing 2day.. khat kinda gains and i thought they went after the dp

 

Put the switch where ever your comfortable, and wiring it shouldnt be more than 3 or 4 wires (Someone that knows exactly can correct me)

You can put them anywhere it will fit in the exhaust. Power gains (I suspect) would be a little more than an aftermarket exhaust system, shouldnt cost more than 30bucks to have muffler bros weld it in

 

excellent. as soon as i decide which exhaust im getting ill probably look in to getting this.

 

Ya its a cheap way to get that power of running a bigger aftermarket exhaust system, and you have a switch to turn it on and off so your not stuck with it

 

dont weld on ur new exhaust man thats a waste! im thinkin bout doin this instead of a catback! and just puttin a magnalfow mufller in place of the stocker for sound

 

Yep with a cut out you dont need an aftermarket exhaust, you have the power of the aftermarket at a switch, so when you want that power, flip the switch, its a lot cheaper than buying an aftermarket catback

 

**** yes!!! are these pretty cheap?

id be like dad i jus want it for drag and autox then go down 5th ave, whahahhhhhhhhh powww

 

this is what I have...and some other peeps too!

Check out the diagram for more info to your ?'s....
Sizes range from 2.25", 2.5", 3", 3.5" and 4"

 

Ya id hope it wouldnt be more than 200 bucks, I think there usually cheaper than that, and thats exactly what its for, power when you need it and back to stock when you dont

 

yup and that will please the parents ears as well lmao.. so how much i didnt see a price

idk which kit lol modernperformance has one for 185 for the ss sc... i was thinkin headers and dp would go good with this,,, make the stock exhaust sound a lil better and really open up the cut out.. or is that to much air flow

 

Nope i was gna tell you if you mod your header or dp youll get an increase, dont know how much, but im sure it would help, you can gain a lot by just letting your car breathe easier

 

Thanks!

 

im sure a tune would really help with this too

 

I dont think you would need one with just a cut out, if you pullyed down and got bigger injectors i would advise a tune

But a tune couldnt hurt, its just if you get a tune, you might as well pulley down and get bigger injectors, more worth it

 

**** yes... ill prolly just start with the cutout 200 bucks installed lmao and then go ottp stg2 with the works evently then get trifecta or custom local tune

 

That sounds like the way to go, im still saving and buying parts, getting closer to having mine ready for a tune

 

sweet.. whats ur current set up and future set up gona be??
