I don't know much about cutouts. What would be the advantage of only having it on 1 pipe? Would it not be better to put it in front of the X pipe? This way it dumps everything out before the X pipe.

Yeah, I bet the o2 switching is going to be all crazy, the X-pipe will have a hard time equalizing pressure/flow with free flow on one side and normal restriction on the other.

The X pipe brings both exhaust manifolds down to one for that portion of the exhaust.
Therfore you are releasing both exhaust manifolds after the x-pipe.
If after the X-pipe it will get even flow . Its realy not that critical
(if it was just one side before the X-pipe yes it would get all f-ed up)
For HP theres realy no point in running two unless your boosted. or you just want 2 dumping right after the headers.

If the cutout goes right after the X it will let both headers flow better.
Ill be dyno tunning sometime soon so ill do plenty of runs to make sure everthing reads well and ill post up the results.

Yes the x-pipe is just a large area of pipe that both headers dump into then it splits back into 2.

If you installed directly at the x on one side I would think it would all dump out of one due to the logic of "path of least resistance"
That ought to be one mean beotch!

I have two of them but they are in the rear and I love them. I put them in the rear to avoid drone and ground clearence issues since my car is lowered and they are awesome! Here is a video with them only open half of the way.
they have been my favorite mod yet and I picked up over 10 rwhp when they are open!

I have seen the gains on the dyno and I have straight pipes too and yes they are right before the mufflers. I have some pretty good mods too though like FAST 92 ported to 95mm, REV 95 MM throttle body, BIG FMS14cam, dart 225 heads and kooks headers plus I have dual 3" exhaust all the way back from the headers so maybe thats why I got the numbers that I did. I dont think you will get those gains on a stock motor but I did on my modified engine.

its such a small change it wont affect it much either way,
Unless you put the cutouts before the cats, that can make some tunning differances..
Vman im still debating on what to do about clearnce issues, im on stock hight and there realy isnt much room under the car...

if you are only doing one then you may have the room you need under the vehicle but you will get drone inside the cab.
