hey guys i am looking into cutouts right now because i have a chokemaster on the exhust, i was originally very very interested in the mr. gasket cutout with the cable pull to activate it, but those only come in 2" in size, i can still make it work but i would rather get the right size, my original idea for cutout installation was directly after the y pipe but let me know if thats wrong, i am looking for a cutout that is cheep and easy to access at any time, what do you guys recommend i do and also anybody know what is the stock size of the piping after the y pipe looks like 2 3/4 to me please guys help me out thanks 4 everything

$200 is above my budget for something that just oppens up the exhaust one way and closes the other, but i guys i have no options now but to go that wingnut style cheep ones, ill just crawl my *** under there everytime hahah thats gonna be a bitch

Uhh...get a manual cutout 45 bucks http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...66c12f198497bc it will go after your cat converter if you're on stock exhaust i believe. **edit get the 3 inch**

Just get a regular, they're not that loud and you'll leave it open most of the time anyways.

Yeah I have one mounted right before the mufflers its the manual one and myne is open 100percent of the time. Its not to loud. the only thing that sucks is on the highway it gives off alot of drone in the car. I raced a vette on the highway not to long ago it was a C5 and i watched him roll up next to me and then slow down and at this point my car was real quite and his was at a dead silence I heard nothing. As soon as he put his foot into it it sounded almost like open headers and he flew past me obviously I never got a chance to talk to him he had an A4 I know that much. What ever exhaust I know was very silent until he went WOT It was an awesome sound
sorry for maybe hijacking but thats the route I want to take and try to find out similar set ups

right in the i pipe is a great spot its easy to get to even with a lowered car. and yeah after u have it installed u wont cap it back up, it just sounds to good

w/e you do, don't get the MCCORD electric cutout. this thing is a total PIECE OF ****. the butterfly blade broke off in about 4 months. it doesn't seal that tight neither.

98Bird

also, any cutout will make your car sound like ****. unless you like the sound of a UPS truck with a hole in its mufflers.

don't know about that, I get compliments daily from old /new school muscle heads on the sound of my car and the more you add the better it will sound. Not to mention there is no catback out there besides true duals that will flow better.

Umm..how about flowtech any one, you can pick up a pair from WS6store.com for around 40 bucks and they are great quality. i had a set of flowtechs for awhile now and they still look great.

98Bird

maybe they drive UPS trucks for a living lol. if it's the difference between 8hp for cutout or 5-6hp for a catback that sounds much better, i'd take the catback.

Get the manaul one and put it in the i-pipe right before it goes over the axel. Easy to access and takes 60 secs to cap or uncap it.

its turbo time

why not put two in? one on each side before it y's in to one. It would be like true duals...maybe

that's unnecassry at this point, it would just cost more money. i'm assuming the OP is running stock manifolds / cats. just put a cutout at the end of the "i" there is a nice spot for it, it will sound good.

I havea cutout there my LT's and ORY, and at idle, and lowing crusing speeds it sounds good, nothing like the local UPS truck. Ne ways I seen a magazine article that raced the UPS , FedEx, and DHL trucks, and the UPS came in last. DHL was all over that. When my car gets up to about 2500 rpms the cutout starts to sound a little ruff, then at WOT it sounds just scary.

i have an electronic cutout, and it sure as hell beats having to crawl under my car everytime i wanna change the cutout. worth every penny so far.

its turbo time

^ at what horsepower would it be beneficial to run 2?

not sure exactly, but from reading some of Patrick G 's threads i believe they showed no gain with an open cutout over a decent catback until they were making over 400 rwhp.
