SpawnGT Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 E-Cutouts might actually induce a slight leak, but it doesn't bother me since it sounds stock inside the cabin. explain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidiq Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Well, the flap doesn't seal 100%, it can't, it needs room to move a bit. Thus you wil get a really slight "psh psh psh", but it's hardly noticable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpawnGT Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 Liquidq....how much wire did you ask for from DMH? and where exactly did you mount yourwires? run it into the car? can u take more pics of where u put the knob? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiWRX Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 actually i gained 8 awhp and lost 2awtq... that +1awtq and 1awhp was at this POS shop... last one i got dynoed at was PDX.. cut out gain was pretty good!! ^ Damn, bro - I'm starting to lose "count" on your posts. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This pic uses a flash to show it off, but it's hardly even noticable, people have a hard time finding it. The steering column is snapped back into place, hahaha. I can't remember what length of wire I got. 8 feet maybe? I ran it from the steering column to the wheel well, then under the car to the cutout.

whitetiger Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Very nice. if i were to do it, id wire it up so it would open automatically at 4k rpm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanboy Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Hmmm... Instead of compromising on noise and replacing everything from my shorty DP and back, wonder if a cutout would be the way to go. Cheaper to boot. Hmm... -B http://www.standardshift.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpawnGT Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 Very nice. if i were to do it, id wire it up so it would open automatically at 4k rpm thats an awesome idea...i want it for the sound, and maybe alil go. But im just worried about my parents killing me if they heard a ricer exhauszt on my car...so ill be able to have it quite when i need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 well, you could always have a hard switch to shut it off, and when you turn it on, it only opens above a certian RPM. you would use an RPM signal switch like what is used in nitrous systems, but instead of turing on the bottle sloenoid, it sends power to the exhaust cutout. Maybe ill do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rao Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 They do not open fast enough to make that work. Rob IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR CAR YOU SHOULD NEVER DRIVE IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 They do not open fast enough to make that work. you might be right. it moves kinda slow in the video. have it open at a lower rpm maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rao Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 you might be right. it moves kinda slow in the video. have it open at a lower rpm maybe? None of them open quickly enough, they all use high torque motors to make sure they last longer then a week so it takes several seconds for them to open. The best you can do is open it it before you want the extra power. Rob IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR CAR YOU SHOULD NEVER DRIVE IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 oh well, twas a good idea though. i know alot of car manufacturers do that, like in the new ZO6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deer Killer Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 The OEM's use vacuum valves to do this quickly (like the wastegate actuator). Should be very cheap with one of those vs an electric motor. Not to mention more reliable. Actually you could hook it up to manifold pressure so the cut-out opens at a certain positive pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deer Killer Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Actually, for all the work of welding this in, how about just an external wastegate after the turbo? :O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 will it flow enough? normally all the waste gate does is flow excess exhaust and exhaust at idle. i dont know if it could handle fully boosted exhaust flow. the opening is too narrow.

whitetiger Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 i think it will be loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpawnGT Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 i think this system is going to be plenty loud with my catless shorty DP, going into the midpipe, and the cutout hopfully will be welded in before the midpipe cat.
