Exhaust idea

[uberSC2]

well i came across the idea of electric cut outs....keeps the sleeper form of exhaust...fairly cheap...and seems as if it would be the easiest way to get the sound and performance when you want it at a push of the button....true bolt on. I am calling the company tomorrow but jus wanted to see what you all thought cuz my 91/92 header jus came in and i believe this is whats goin on instead of custom exhaust system.

lemme kno what you think

I'll be installing one whenever I have time.

You can get the electric ones on eBay for cheaper.

[uberSC2]

yeh i see what your talking bout....well what about the 4 year warranty>ebay

Vinny (Schizzo) just recently bought one but not sure if it was this company or not. The quality was very nice on it but he was having fitiment issues due to the size.

I am sure he will post up when he sees this thread.

see if you cant find any first hand reviews on any cut outs, my buddy has a regal ttype and he bought a cut out, said it was one of the very few that dont leak when fully closed. just a heads up so you dont have an exhaust leak crappy sound.

check out Quick Time Performance (QTP). the one I got is a beast, same one on my buddy's WRX (quicksc2).

yeah the flange and motor are so beefy I'm having clearance issues against the frame and stuff in the exhaust tunnel because of how my dump is welded in, but I am in the process of removing the cat, shifting the dump closer to the engine, and bolting her on there.

I think I paid 160 for mine shipped. worst case I may sell it on here if anyone is interested. BTW that was the cheapest I could find it including ebay.

[uberSC2]

true i see that and that seems awesome....i have heard great reviews from this place and havent heard of any leaking ones yet.....and normally i would be the first to jump on the ebay wagon but I think the extra 40$ for a 4 year warranty is going to be well worth it...the other thing i was wondering schizzo....did you get 2.5 cut out cuz I think thats what I am getting...cuz i just got a 91/92 header and i am goin to need to shop to weld a new downpipe to correlate the header with the elec cutout...so would 2.5 be the way to go...i.e. i still got stock piping and exhaust on my car so would there be a connector i could buy somewhere to connect the 2.5 cut out to the original piping below...?

[slowion2]

2.5 will work for you fine. I think that's the size of my dump as a matter of fact. the valve for 2.5 works on 2.25 and 2.5 dumps also in case you were concerned.

what year is your car? if it's OBDI put that fucker right where the cat is after the flex joint (that way it's braced properly and you won't have to worry about cold air reversion making it to the valves)

I like QTP and another company the best (forget the name, might have been badlanz or something. ask them if a guy with a saturn emailed them, they probably would remember me, they were very helpful with shit). I'd recommend one of them.

[uberSC2]

I have a 98 sc2....i just talked to the guys at DMH performance and I had the idea because I just got the 4-2-1 design I would get a 3inch downpipe to get the most free flowing from the headers to the elec cut out and then place a connector to the stock piping. I think this would work beautifully and I am not sure what I would do with the cat...prob keep it....lemme kno wat u think

[slowion2]

personally, 3" is way overkill. 2.25-2.5 is plenty for what you're going to flow with that engine.

ok you're OBDII so you would throw a code with no cat.

[tylerdl]

taking a look at that e-cutout and it looks like a great idea...i actually want one now. but i gotta quick question. what is the diameter size on a exhaust pipe on a stock 99 sl2. I know this is a noob question so bear with me. i'm new to the site and new to the world of racin and modifying

[d3ad1ysp0rk]

1.75"

[slowion2]

1.75"

I though it was 1 7/8" actually

[The Shaolin]

1.75"

I though it was 1 7/8" actually

Ding ding ding.

[dream36realms]

that would sound awesome just before the cat, I may get one next year once I go FI
