Cutouts on stock pipes

[Houle #382]

Just wondering if anyone has tried installing cutouts on a car with stock exhaust manifolds and stock 2.5 inch H pipes

You can be the FIRST! It won't sound like a header equipped car.

@Houle #382 I put homemade cutouts on my stock HP exhaust and they leaked, so they were pretty loud. When I uncorked them, it sounded like a race car. I bought manufactured cutouts to replace my homemade ones but I haven’t installed them yet. I recommend them, if they don’t leak when closed.

They will just be loud and probably won't improve performance. THey will make your car sound like an old pick up with a bad muffler.

I just pulled an entire SS exhaust system with short headers with badlandz cutouts. System worked great, but on a stock setup, it just sounds like you're missing the mufflers. Doesn't sound badass at all.

Just sounds like ***?

Your car will only end up 'All show and no go"

Why is it that it is always the Mopar weenies that roll into the cruise nights/car shows and open up their exhaust cutouts?

Yepp .... I know of a show winning stock superbee with cutouts .... sounds like crap.... and looks funny being all original.

I’ll admit that I can be a bit harsh from time to time in my postings, but you guys are way out-front on this one. Although I agree.

This Mopar weenie that recently built this motor in his 50 year-owned Dart has cutouts and I can tell you firsthand that they are badass. He loves to open them up when he pulls into my driveway (he knows I like it too).

 

[BSB67]

But it has headers, correct?

 

[SlingLow]

Oh yes. And around 845 ponies.

That’s the difference. Not really applicable to the specific discussion

I responded to the comment which also did not relate to the OP. Slinglow out!

Bickering aside, definitely agree open exhaust on a decent root’s blower motor is as cool as it gets.
