Should be fun playing with the cutout on the street. Sounds just like a 10.5 car idling! I'm nearly as cool as @84Ttop now. [emoji14]
What brand is that? I've been thinknng about getting a set for when I spray mine. A 200 shot should make some flames! :flame:
 
The one I have is made my QTP. It's their low profile version. I made the exit pipe from scratch. I didn't have much room to work with down there. It would have been nice to do a full 3.5" cutout, but oh well!
Hmm,....seems that I was reading somewhere about loud mufflers........:thinking:.Uhh,...nevermind, cant remember.

I understand the reason for it...(You wanna ck if exhaust has excessive BP). What happens if you find out that you do?
What happens if you find out that you don't?
 
It honestly probably won't make much difference on the street, but it will be a ton of fun to sneak up on people, open the cutouts, and then blast their ear drums away. The cutout has two-way momentary switch for open and close, so I can almost tune the exhaust note the way I want. Much like the new C7 vettes do.
 
I took the car for a spin last night to play with the exhaust cutout. This thing is fun! I can open it a little bit to make the car more throaty or I can open it all the way and make it obscene. It's honestly not deafening loud in the lower rpms. It screams when the rpms climb though! The best part is that even with the cutout cracked open just a little bit, I can hear the turbo spooling at any rpm. I love that. My girlfriend was with me and she simply said "this car sounds really p*ssed off". Mission accomplished.

Turbo sounds like a jet plane with it open I'm sure !

Race, looked at placing one in about the same place before the "Y". The only hesitation was not knowing how much they leak. Any problems yet?
The instructions say to spray the butterfly valve with liquid wrench every once and a while to break up carbon deposits. As long as you do that, they say leaks won't be an issue.

That already crossed my mind! Haha. It opens and closes very slowly so it wouldn't be a quick operation once the output activates, but it could still probably work if I had it activate at 1-2 psi and then deactivate once there is vacuum. It would just take a pair of relays to make that work. I'll need the extra outputs from the digital dash before I could do it though. My little HP is full.
