Electric Cutout Exhaust
Anyone ever done this before. I had one on my SRT4 aka turbo neon by dodge. I was at the bottem of the downpipe and it opened with the push of a button to become a open exhaust. I thought it was a great idea on my 335i b/c its a bmw and i dont want a loud rowdy beamer so i was thinkin of having a muffler shop do this. Plus turbo cars dont like back pressure so by adding this its the best exhaust u can have, which is close to no exhaust. Im not sure where to put it though either before or after teh cats. I dont want to throw a code if its before the cats. The best place would be before the cats but if i have to put it after it i will. Well see. Anyone try this or know anyone who has and where they put theirs. thanks :rocks:

As for the cut out, no room is available before the cars. On the rear bank turbo there is just a few inches between the turbine outlet and the cat. Custom DPs would be needed to get cutouts in there. However, there is plenty of room post-cats but you would lose a little ground clearance. I too have installed cut outs, below is the results on an ’03 Acura CL-S 6MT (369 WHP): Exhaust Cutout Drive |
