Default two 3 inch cutouts

im thinking of just putting two 3 inch cutouts inbetween my manifolds and my y pipe. Would this be to little of backpressure or would it be alright?

should be fine...although it may put fresh air a little too close to the o2 sensors. could give false readings.

probably will

like i said...fresh air being pulled into the exhaust and hitting the o2 sensors will give bad results.




to the OP.....are these going on the headers in your sig? and the cam setup?

I can see the fresh air being a problem... like when I drove around with open headers, my car kept stalling after about 10 minutes. I used to run two 3" cutouts. They were on the Y-pipe right on the bends. Very loud!!! which is exactly what I wanted. The torque definitely suffered though.
