Exhaust Cutout

[AJ]

What are some cutouts you guys would suggest if someone wanted to go that route for exhaust. I think something that would be controlled from inside the car would be nice.

I wonder if these cars will boost creep like the DSMs. Its really a good idea though. Retain that stock exhaust quiet tone and dump it for the track and race.

Yeah, and a lot cheaper than going all the way back.

 

[micahlarson]

yeah I want one

We can probably put in an electric cutout from QTP. Those seem to be pretty stout.

For those of us who want the ability to go back to a nice quiet ride, what do you think is the performance gain & loss and what would probably work best for placement?

By the looks of this pic alone:

we'd have some "kinks" even before an area for placement would see to open up.

I'd be all in for this as well.

I'd be open to getting one for my MSP

Exhaust cut-outs really aren't a huge issue if your cat-back system is sufficient.

Small turbochargers, you want to open up everything pre turbo. The physical size of the turbine wheel restricts what would be available for gains.

I would say lets develop a good sounding and flowing cat-back system. Exhaust cut-outs work, but from our experiences the gains are negligable if the system already breaths well.

hmm interesting.. so you're saying that for my situation.. since I have a gt25 turbo.. very very tiny I should do more preturbo work first>?
