cut outs. question
#5
Eh it would run with the loss of backpressure.....I mean there are alot of people who have no cats/no mufflers on a DD.

I'd probably only run the cutouts if you had longtubes and put aftermarket hiflow cats past them. So when they are closed you can run "normal" exhaust to an extent and when their open you have longtubes. Just run the tune for the longtubes. Electronic's are $$ but are well worth being able to close a switch when your sick of the drone or your date bitch's, or the one that we really fear the police..

yeah, the cutouts are pointless unless you get some longtubes, have the cutouts directly after that, then do some cats after the midpipe and keep mufflers behind the axle so that you can run legal and then do a LT header dump.

well true long tubes plus cutouts equals like 0 backpressure. Thats ok if your running wide open on the drag track but not if your driving it. If your driving it i would reccomend an exaust. yes you can fit a electric cutout on just about anything but you cant really drive it. if your running it on an x even better and go after the x and get a muffler shop to do it no problem. run your cats after them and be all happy. yes it can be done. do it and record the sounds before and after and im interested cause im looking at longtubes/ stock cats/ xpipe/ pypes mid muffs and thinking cutouts after x before cats.

Yea but the 10ft (or w/e lol) of piping creates a good amount of backpressure. My friend has a 00 GT and he tried it (just manifolds) and the car barely ran, it kept stalling and sounded bad! Now it's not a 3V but I'd like to think the same thing would happen.
