Default Exhaust question. come on in!

as helpful as typing in "cutout" is in the search. i dont know exactly how to explain this. i want to go to a true dual setup with powersticks on my ls1. so basically yk how the new corvettes have that setup to go from "mild to wild" on their exhaust? how does that work?

my idea was to put dual cutouts inline with the pipe. not an actual cut out to run open headers. but run the cut outs at a partial open then if i wanted to open it all the way. basically a volume control to appease the neighbors and avoid unwanted attention when i want to. any ideas or tell me this is dumb id appreciate it haha thanks in advance

You could do a Borla Adjustable catback with an E-Valve and be done with it -- don't like that setup? True duals with F-bodies are always a compromise...

So are you wanting cut-outs on true duals? Are they dumped or out the back?

Check out DMH or No Weeds diverters... the later is a true double butterfly, so FULL diversion -- single on the DMH.

So you think it will work Inline with my setup? Like control the butterfly from partial to full open. (obviously never fully closed) maybe i can set up a stopper so the butterfly won't fully close and then I can use the controller to open more when I want it louder/ flow more.

You dont get much more flow then true duals.....it seems kinda pointless to me but hey go ahead if thats what you want. Takes some pictures of it so we can see it. Not too many of these type set-ups running around.

Well I dont mean the actual "cut out" pipe in with the duals. I mean the E cut out in line WITH the duals. So it's in the main pipe to limit the sound/flow of the system. Lemme draw something up and I'll post it
