Installed new flp dual cutouts Looking to make a trip in a week that is 4hrs away i was wondering if it is ok to keep the cutouts uncaped for the trip just making sure that there is no problem with lack of backpressure for that length of time
Re: Installed new flp dual cutouts I got a friend that has run his cut out open since the day he got it. No problems at all <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Re: Installed new flp dual cutouts The only problem i see is the 12 police cars about a half mile behind you trying to figure out why the earth is shaking <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

Re: Installed new flp dual cutouts back pressure.....LOL <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" /> thats funny....
In truth....ANY back pressure is bad....its why people spend mega $$$ on getting low restriction exhaust. I have never beleaved in the "back pressure is good" saying. There is a theory that at low RPM, the backpressure helps scavange the cylinders but pshhhhhhh.......if so....the effect in minimal and the restiction at high RMP is a killer <img border="0" alt="[judgement]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" /> The ultimate exhaust system for power would be the mini-pipes you see on the side of dragsters.....now thats a HIGH FLOW SYSTEM <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> . You "could" run an engine without anything but you would probubly end up bending/warping a valve from the "cold" (relative to the exhaust temp) air comming back in on the port when you shutdown..... TWEEEK....no more valve.
Your only problem with driving with the cutouts open will be the line of PIGSSSS that will be flashing their lights at you <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />
