1982-92 Camaro/Firebird Cat-Back Exhaust System

The Adjustable System is a unique, dual-purpose system which starts at the rear of the catalytic converter and goes over the rear axle. From there, the exhaust flows into a Y-pipe with exhaust tips on one end and a high-flow muffler/exhaust tips assembly on the other end. Four interchangeable plates come with the system which allow you to adjust noise and performance levels. Using the solid plate diverts all of the exhaust through the muffler (street legal). The other plates have holes in varying diameters, or you can refrain from using any plate at all, running a straight-through exhaust, which can be easily converted back to street-legal in a matter of minutes. Clamps and necessary mounting hardware are included.

Anybody do this already?? I'm thinking about getting this and replacing the "plates" with the electric cutout. This way I can adjust on the go.

I used to have the exact same setup on a trans am I had. It works well the only problem is that after a while the high torque motor on the cutout can wear off and it wont completely close. It will hit max travel and bounce back a tiny bit. Probobly never notice it isnt sealed shut but it happens

Heres the cutout built for the setup you want

Well, I went and bought a used 4th gen Borla catback off Ebay for $275. The seller was local, and owns a custom exhaust shop. He pulled this off a customers car. He had to modify the hangers and the connection to my cat. Anyways, I think I got a deal. I love the way it sounds. 10 times better than the Flowmaster catback I replaced.

I have done some research on electric cutouts, and I'll pass on the QTPs. I'm currently working on a group purchase on the McCord Power Plate (http://www.mccordcg.com/mpp/mpp.htm).
