Exhaust Cutout vs. Turboback Exhaust
deciding on my exhaust setup.
its either go with a 3inch downpipe and have a cut out welded into my test pipe and run the cut out with the stock exhaust.
or.
3inch downpipe and probably a megan racing or invidia catback..
i have heard many different sides.
some ppl tell me cut out all the way, it get peak performance
than some ppl tell me that a cut out KILLS low end torque drastically..
i dont see many ppl runing cut outs on evo's thats why i am leaning toward a turboback, i just like the fact of running a cut out so when a cop busts my ***** i can simply shut it off.. but im looking for raw performance. i'll sacrifice a little ball busting for better performance..

I think tuning has alot to do with it also; you might want to call around to a couple of tuners and see what they recommend. I'm not an expert, but I'd imagine that if you tune with the cutout open, it'll run like **** when it's closed (and vice versa).
With a 3" exhaust, you don't have to worry about this...

I am running a cutout where my cat used to be. I got alot faster than I did when I had a cat and catback exh. I do believe I lost some low end! Also a pretty grizzly sound ! Sounds like this junky chevy cavalier with an exhuast leak running around town haha. Don't get an electronic one. Just get one that u bolt the plate one and keep it with u. The electronic ones don't seal and u bAsically have an exhAust leak whenever it's closed. Don't think the cable ones are much better.
I will have to try with a 3" and see if I really lost a tad bit of lowend or if I'm just trippin *****. Like I said though I am alot faster over all.
