Or he can just use a cutout like all the N/A guys do. If he puts a wastegate on his N/A car, everyone will laugh at him. Stop enabling him lol

I choose Volvo because I feel like they are the worst at it.


In all seriousness though.....take those damn restrictors out.

Save yourself from spending money at all and just run the flowmaster merge into the stock cat back. Its still going to be quiet.

Another thing is your autocrossing the car right? That little cutout controller will be working its *** off to try to keep up with you. Your best bet would be what you have, plus a cutout, minus the restrictors.

You can open the cutout for your autocrossing and close it for all around ton driving.

Don't vette's have some sort of actuator to open up baffles or something in/near the mufflers when they step down on it? I drive an F-Body, I don't know about all that ****.

Yes sometimes people over complicate things. But what does it hurt to think outside of the box and try something.

I guarantee if he figures out something cool the people that were hating on him will be swinging on his nuts.

I have never heard of a wastegate on a N/A car. I don't know very much about F/I so how it would work is over my head.

Nuts? .......no. I swing from trees home boy.

No point in thinking outside the box on this one. Thinking outside the box equals spend outside your pocket.

F tree's I climb buoys MF! (Love that song)

I do find it funny though that I made the nut swinging comment and you pipped up.

I agree with you that there is a better way to tackle this problem. It just seems common here as of late on tech someone asks a questions that's out of the main stream and the OP gets bashed. Sometimes its deserved and sometimes its not. This OP has been cool considering all the BS that's been thrown.

I kept the SLP dual/dual muff on my car because I wanted it quiet and put a 4 inch e-cutout on it basically going for the same thing as the OP.

OP, how quiet are you wanting your car to be? I wouldn't think that WS6 catback would be that loud. Remember you do drive a V8 car.

I'm on a dolphin doing flips and ****!

I'm not trying to bash him. I'm trying to help him by staying on a path that will keep him satisfied while letting him keep the cheapest. It just seems like with all his ideas that one is more complicated than the other. I guess in this situation that I have the mentality of go with what's proven and works instead of being different and more complicated.

What about getting an electric cutout assembly, ditching the motor, and having engine vacuum pull the cutout closed (by hooking a $20 pneumatic cylinder to it)?

or just remove the inserts. the stock cat back may kill 30-40whp on the street, but who cares? it much simpler than wiring in this electric cutout, wot, A/C switch business. keeping the stock cat back in blace will keep the car quiet on the street, even at WOT, since thats what you seem most worried about...

I have all kinds of piping under my car and it is looooow, if I can fit 3.5" exhaust under my car and 3" all the way out the back then you should be able to fit a short bullet style muffler in the i-pipe and use your stock cat back. Get rid of the baffles because that estimated power your making is going to be cut by about 50hp with the set-up you have. now with the cut out open yes that's realistic.

I have a short bullet muffler in my i pipe and im using a dynomax magnum race muffler. Everyone besides actual gearheads think my car is stock with exhaust until I get on it or rev it up.
