Whos running cutouts?

StarFox07 · May 21, 2007

I just got a local muffler shop to do me a set of cutouts, and I have to say, I love them. You have the flexibility to have it reasonably quiet (flows with dumps) or open-header loud. Its the best of both worlds, and amazingly, they do not leak at all. I wish I had electrics, but for now, I just have bolt-ons.

You should make a sound clip as I was contemplating on doing this....please

StarFox07 · May 21, 2007

will do.

Where do you have them, before or after the cats?
I know there is a company that sells the electronic flaps that bolt on where the plate goes.

that is called an e cutout. QTP makes a quality piece. they have really come down in price over the last few years.

You guys like the sound of a 302 with open headers??? EEK!

DEFWISH · May 21, 2007

they prolly like the volume ha ha

i have an electric cutout for my srt. basically its a full 3 inch downpipe with cat, the cutout is right before the cat and the switch is going into the armrest console space. in other words, you have the flexibility and driveability of stock exhaust and performance of a full 3 inch turboback exhaust with a flick of a switch.

I had and DMH e cutout on my turbo civic...It hit about 2 lbs. of boost with it closed (stock exhaust) and 9 lbs. when it was open

Its kinda like welding a "Y" shaped pipe to the collector on your headers. The one side is hooked up to the rest of the exhaust, the other side of the "Y" is either electronically opened or manually opened (usually with wing nuts) If you are at the track, you would open the other side of the "Y" and your exhaust goes right out at the end of the header instead of through the rest of the exhaust... ill find a picture..

My friend has Electric cut outs on his 00 SS Camaro and it sounds badass that's why I want to hear it on a Stang

25thmustang · May 21, 2007

Trust me, I had my friends near stock 5.0 and my car, and a few others run with no midpipes for one reason or another (never on the street, just moving around in the driveway) and it sounds terrible. Has NO tone, and just sounds awful (of course thats MY opinion). Personally, just get some good flowing mufflers and be done with it!

I thought mind sounded really good with the open H pipe, has a nice high pitch to it, nearly like a cammed ls1. Maybe its because there is no cats, I'm not sure. i like it though.

A friend of mine has a 96 cobra with a cat-less x-pipe and some sort of mufflers, and it sounds horrible i think.

25thmustang · May 21, 2007

Well thats a personal preferance, but I had my LT equipped car run with open headers, headers and prochamber, headers and catted mod pipe, and headers and X pipe and liked NONE of them. I also dont really like the sound dumps give though, so it might just be me!

grey5.0beast · May 21, 2007

I started up my car to move it when I was letting my friend borrow my Hpipe and i had 3 neighbors call me to ask why it was so loud...

I only like the dumps on idle, i'm gonna change it most likely.
