Author Topic: Electric Cutouts To do or Not To do??? DropTopFox drama Member # 1689 posted                              What's the deal with an elctric exhaust cutout. Will it make the car much louder than it already is? Does it give any more power? Can I have it open and close with the push of a button? Is it worth it?

Yes, your car will be louder. As for power increase, not much...cutouts are made for racing(high rpms), so don't expect a power gain down low. -------------------- Ross '88 GT - 5.0&SF 4/04 | MM&FF 8/09 | MM&FF 79-93 Mustang Performance Cover 12/12 '17 GT350R Posts: 1916 | From: Not CA | Registered: Oct 2001  |  : DropTopFox drama Member # 1689 posted                              How much money am I looking at for the cut outs and the wiring if I already have the switch on my dash ready to be used? -------------------- Go out and do something for yourself today everyone, quit depending on others -Me http://www.CaliforniaFords.com/cgi-bin/album.pl?album=00001689 Posts: 4003 | From: San Bruno | Registered: Aug 2002  |  : Blu50Stang CAFords OG Member # 489 posted                              Price list can be found herehttp://www.quicktimeperformance.com/qtec.htm Im sure these aren't the only ones, just the only ones I know of.

All you do is push a button and the valve opens. Check out the video on stangnet. Copy this exact address. Let me know if the address works too. Personally I would get it if I didn't have the off road x-pipe. http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?s=102da83b286e92e6aff96ad7bfdb591c&threadid=174388&highlight=cutout [ December 02, 2002, 10:49 PM: Message edited by: 00silver-gt ] -------------------- 5-SPEED BBK OFF ROAD X-PIPE SHORTY HEADERS MAC MUFFLERS W/3"TIPS MAC COLD AIR INTAKE EIBACH SPORTLINE SPRINGS Posts: 48 | From: Pleasanton, CA | Registered: Aug 2002  |  : 93PONY Mr. Valve Events Member # 60 posted                           Boy, that would REALLY help my motor make some more power! -------------------- www.advancedenginedevelopment.com SCT dealer Dynotuning (916)715-7569 Posts: 4266 | From: Fair Oaks, CA | Registered: Nov 2000  |  : 00silver-gt ¯ Member # 1655 posted                                 You are looking at about $175.00. If you do get it go with the 2 1/2." It won't give you much power, but it won't kill your torque. BTW, isn't your car loud enough already with the off road h-pipe?

I was think the cutouts could get rid of one and then some underchasis lights would get rid of the other. Then when I'm ready for a safe NOSzle kit I'll get the ashtray switch plate and a shift ball with the nitrous button on it. Just some shit I've been thinking about. -------------------- Go out and do something for yourself today everyone, quit depending on others -Me http://www.CaliforniaFords.com/cgi-bin/album.pl?album=00001689 Posts: 4003 | From: San Bruno | Registered: Aug 2002  |  :
