I think honestly I'm gonna do a electric cutout. I've never wanted to use one but I think I can have the best of both worlds . I've had 4 different turbo cars over the last 10 years or so and I've had every different exhaust combo you could imagine . And it'll make it easier on me running 3 inch pipe to the back instead of 4 . But I'm gonna keep the down pipe I just made incase later I wanta go back to running 4 inch out the back.
Easiest to buy a 4" cutout and make it, rather than pay the insane prices companies are asking. I've had about 6 cutouts now and all of the electric ones have given me issues eventually.

Forcefed so you just made a boost controlled cutout yourself?? I really don't wanta mess with flipping a switch everytime I'm on the boost hard. That would be cool if it worked off boost reference.

I did not make that one. Thats a random pic online. It's just a wastegate actuator. You would have to fab up a mount the actuators around about 10-25$ on Ebay. You'd have to buy an electric cutout and modify it. You can't use boost switches on the electric gates either. you need to slowly bump them open and closed or you easily burn up the motor.

My fairmont just had a 4 inch pipe dumped in front of the front tire and it wasn't bad at all at cruise speeds you heard it more going slow but isn't bad. So I'm thinking it'll be 10x's better out the rear of the car.
