Just like the title says. Looking for an electronic exhaust cutout in good working condition. send me pics/prices.

are you talking a valve that would allow you to go from the standard exhaust to straightpiped?

anyone have thoughts on the size cutout? Pushing near 300 to the wheels and debating wether i want a 2.5 or 3" i have the ZZP DP that is 3" down to 2.5", but i was going to remove the 2.5" portion of the dp and replace it with the cutout but unsure which size to go with.

ill probably be going down to my local shop to see if they can get one in, or having a shop fab me one up. (im not going electric)

Jegs and Summit have some VERY cheap manual ones ($26)
but the bastards wont ship to canada.

yeah i just dont want to have to crawl under my car every time i want to run a straight pipe.

an0malous

yup i can see the attraction to electric for sure.

but for me i know that the only time ill have it dumping is on track days.
and since ill already be jacking the car up to put the slicks on, wont be a big deal to uncap the dump

I cannot possible see why the electric one would have to make a 100+ dollar difference... I'd see if it was possible to go with the manual and if you really need the automatic option, see if something can be fapped maybe?

yeah i hear ya. alright well thanks for the link. i'll probably end up going with them. the other kits on ebay didnt seem to have stainless y-pipes.

an0malous

the difficult part, is you have to have something, that when closed, can form a tight enough seal to withstand the exhaust pressure, otherwise its gonna leak like the titanic and sound horrible.

thats why electric cutouts generally arent cheap.

greekss

are the cutouts worth the money though? what happens with back pressure? sorry i'm new to this stuff...

i personally got rid of hte cutout, wasnt feeling it. cobalt sounds like **** striaght piped and you lose a lot of low end torque when its open fully.

greekss

thats what i needed to hear...thanks

I don't think the cutout is necessarily a bad idea. I think people need to rethink the location of said cutout, though. I think a cutout would be nice at the end of the tunnel after the cat and resonator. It's loud, and obnoxious for long periods of time, but w/ an elec cutout, that wouldn't be an issue.

Trust me, I've had me car w/ just header, header/dp, header/dp/res and head to tip w/ and w/o a muffler. I think that I have finally found the best combination on my car, but we'll see what people have to say when I put videos up tonight...
