Question Turndown for Cutout?

Is there any where I can buy a pre-fabed turn down to bolt onto my cutout? The shop that I had weld in the cutout made a horrible one. I just want a short, 90 deg. turn down that will bolt onto the flange on my cutout. Thanks!!

i had to buy the flowmaster turndowns off of summit, which are slip fit, and welded them to some flanges to bolt on to the end on the cut-out.

Problem with using a turn down you'll find at pepboys or some place similar is that they'll be way too long to work in most locations and they are crush bent.

The best thing you can do in my opinion is to get a U bend cut to length and weld to one of the flanges included with the flowtech kit(if you got that). This is what I did.If you didn't get the kit it shouldn't be too hard to get a flange from a muffler shop.OR you can have them do the whole thing for you if you don't like getting your hands dirty.

On summit's site they have flowtech bolt on turn downs. $25. I think I will pick those up.

I hear that a turn down will help the drone and rasp from the open cutout? Is this true?

I'm sure it will help somewhat with the drone and interior noise. I was thinking of getting one also for my cutout (on order). Please let us know how it fits!

Yes it does help the pounding,droning noise a bit. Aim it off to the side a little bit if you want the most relief from the noise.
