well, I ordered a few things here and there, just got one in yesterday and had it installed today. here is my cutout vids





my cobra heat exchanger should be here tuesday. I'll have pics of it up once it's installed.

 

keeewwwwwwwwwl

 

lol, it actually sounds better than I thought it would, just really loud. lol. but it's a lot cheaper than doing a full exhaust, with the same effect. top end is pretty crazy, low end is gone. lol.

 

thats cool man, but just use the cut-out when racing above 4 grand and ur laughin

 

yea, it's still stock exhaust when it's closed. I only plan on using it at the track, or if I think I lose to someone on the street by like half a car or something. then I'll open it up and beat 'em. lol.

 

do cut outs really do that same job that an exhaust would? sorry i dont really know about them that much

 

that sounds like complete ass, and your not gaining anything but the ricers laughing at you now, and why a heat exchanger? your stock

on a diff car, on this car no, it actually slows you down down low

 

I was always under the impression that an exhaust dump was more for turbo applications....and in fact hurts performance on a car like ours

as they tend to gain torque by removing any pressure back on the turbo, and without proper exhaust velocity, we tend to lose it.

 

well, I'm not gonna ride around with it open all the time. it's only for track use. and I think that the car heat soaks too much even stock. I'm going to the track this friday to prove my gains. I'll run with the cutout closed first of course, and then with it open, to see if there are any gains, which I'm betting there will be. and I bet my top end will be better with the heat exchanger too. I trap just as high in the 1/8th as a stage 2 cobalt, just my top end heat soaks so quickly that I only gain 18mph from the 1/8th to the 1/4mark.
