I hear about everyone getting "cutouts" all the time and quite frankly, I haven't a clue what everyone is talking about.

 

valve that dumps your open exhaust before it gets to the mufflers, more free flowing and picks up a few hp and sounds better (to most).
manual version is just a 3" or so Y tubing with a bolted cap on the end. electronic version has a butterfly valve.

 

A cutout is a Y pipe in the exhaust system. 1 section of the pipe runs to the mufflers for a tame muffled sound, the other end has the ability to be block/opened to release backpressure and have a open exhaust setup, often to avoid restrictions of catalytic converters and restricted mufflers.

 

 

Ahhhhh, yes yes. Of course. Now I feel dumb lol. Thanks guys.

 

they are definately worth the money... esp if you have a shitty trashmaster for a muffler

 

Figured the picture would work best

 

So then are these for sound, perf., or both?

 

Mostly performance, but some do it for the sound as well.

 

for both

 

both, it will be a lot louder with them open, and you get more hp/tq up top.

edit: damn we all answered at the same time...
