It's not my finest work by any means but I only had a short window of time before it started raining again and the streets were dry for the first time in weeks. So I decided to make a quick video of my electric cutouts for you guys....Hope you like it. Oh, and the video really doesn't do justice for how good it sounds in person...just FYI.
Click here to see Video
Install wasn't too bad at all and I figure as long as I still had all my fingers after playing with an angle grinder...it was a successful install :laughing:
My welding isn't the best but I figure I'll only get better with practice. I also staggered the cutouts so I didn't have to modify the turndowns so both sides are not completely even but I didn’t really care since I'll never see it. I'll update this thread soon with a Video and ore pics of the exhaust re-installed on the car...for the mean time here are the pics I have of the fabrication process. Sorry about the first one, crappy cell phone pic but I forgot to take pics right out of the box with a good camera.

I did dyno my CTSV with the open and closed!!! Besides that factors of heat etc...(things that make you lose hp) My V was making low 340 pulls (intake,cutouts closed) i opened them and it had a strong 350's pull!!!Everytime you open and close them your car has to adjust!!! I personally don't think they do much for LS1 style engines but Turbo cars see a big gain with them open....I buy them for ***** and giggles...
