When running a cutout i know its really loud when open but when it closed what does it sound like? Just any old exhaust?

kikcaffine

yeah its quiet like nothings there.

jdubb123

So basically like a stock exhaust?

rhythmnsmoke

It sounds like whatever your exhaust would sound like that's on the car.

jdubb123

So theres a pipe for the cutout and a pipe for the exhaust when its closed?

rhythmnsmoke

Imagine your normal exhaust system. Now cut a section out of it and with a flap that closes off the exhaust system and diverts it now out of another shorter pipe that has no restrictions. That's why it's called a "cutout".

Okay i got it know its easier to understand when u google a picture lol

from what ive heard. the electric cutouts leak air over time and making a squeek noise
is this true?
only thing that has prevented me from getting one

DaGreat1

ive been running with it on my exhaust for about a year now and i have no leaks

olaHalo

i see
do you use it often? how fast does it open and close? thanks

olaHalo

i have stock exhaust
so i assume that i would need to get this one
the 2.25 one

I got the qtp installed on mine, so far after about 4 months everythings good.
it prolly takes 3 sec to fully open i suppose

i run stock exhaust but used a 2.5 inch cutout. it really depends on the size of the y-pipe you install. mine is installed right after the midpipe/s-pipe flange and replaces the cat.

do you feel a good difference on the way the pulls with it opened or closed?

crush02342002

eh not really, ima see what the diff is on the dyno though the next time i go.
I didnt get a chance the last time i went couse the tune i had was running pretty bad that day..

sometimes with the very loud exhaust, you dont notice the car pulls but the noise.. dyno run will be nice!

^^ street tune FTW! get it close on the street, just dont blow your motor lol.. im gonna do another street tune again, im loving the gas prices lol

Anyone running the QTEC with the manual switch? The one that you can control when you want it to open. I would assume this is better especially around the California area considering the laws with mods here are pretty harsh so sound would be an issue. As for the tune, you would need one for closed and another for open I'm assuming?

i think it really depends on your exhoust set up especially if your using a catalytic converter. If your using mostly after market (larger pipes say 2.5) and no cat's then you really shouldn't need to have two tunes but im not saying that having a special tune for open dump (opened valve) will not net a better over all gain. just saying that its not entirely necessary. now if your using all stock components save for the down pipe and s-pipe but with a catalytic converter then it may be necessary to have two tunes.
