Just was thinking about something exhaust cut ou

[daonly1around]

since the mid pipe, test pipe, what ever you wanna call it yields good gains, wonder what would happen if you added an electronic exhaust cut out with the mid pipe, so when you're at the track you can just open it up.

so just have your standard midpipe with this welded in between

In theory they sound good but almost all of them leak

they almost all leak? how do you know that?

well there is little to no restriction in the stock catback so what would you be achieving ? if you keep the stock cat up front as well you would just have a lot of noise with no gain at all. it would be cheaper/easier to just get a DP/RP combo and be done.

I was looking to get one back in the day and I looked around on all kinds of various forums (SRT4 etc) and saw tons of leaking problems. They won't leak right away, but after awhile they pretty much all start to leak and will need readjusted. (thats what i found anyway from my research)

exactly, adding this to the mid pipe is doing nothing but bypassing the catback. that is sensless ! especially if you hve a stock DP infront of the cut out, that would just be stupid ! now if you have a catted mid pipe or cpe DP and you put the cut out BEFORE the cat, then it would help.

oh ok i thought this would some how replace the midpipe for straight pipe only when you needed it.. yeah the stack catback is not really restrictive
