cdan12 Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 anyone ever used electric cutouts instead of going the hi-flow cats and flowmaster type mufflers?That way you could have quiet stock exaust until you needed more horse power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styleandspeed Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 I have a friend with one on his f-body, and it is really cool. Drives around loud and mean as can be, but if he sees a cop then stock she goes. I really like the idea, and will probably end up getting them myself.

m396 #00-011 Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 BigTex has/had cutouts on his SS. Problem was with tuning, the truck ran differently enough, that with it tuned for the exhaust, it didn't run real good uncorked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deezel Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 BigTex still had stock restrictive muffler at that time, I believe. I think the tuning difference would depend on where you put the cutouts and how good the muffler flows. In place of the cats, its pretty much open pipes vs. long pipes and muffler. hmmm... crazy idea occurs to me If you put cutouts in a system with a remote mount turbo, you could run N/A with the cutouts open and boosted with them closed.

True, but was this before or after he did the muffler mod. A better flowing exhaust, would lessen the gap between the tunes for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSAlaska Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Is there a brand that anyone suggests? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 the problem with cutouts on this truck is velocity. if the pipes were smaller like 2 1/4 or 2 1/2, it would work out better. the pipes are so big that with two cutouts it lowers the velocity enough to require a seperate program to make it work. if you had a y-pipe just before the muffler and ran a single inlet/single outlet muffler you could make it work well just in front of that. on a set up with a supercharger or something you could probably pull it off easier since the exhaust is going to be coming out at a high enough volume to keep the velocity up. a turbo set up i wouldn't even run a muffler.
