Hey Im wondering if it would be worth it to run a e cutout right after the down pipe exits the engine compartment. Right Now im running a magnaflow catback with all 3 in from the turbo back. Im only running 6 psi worth the money or not?

 

3 inch is probably fine for what you are needing. it may help alittle on the track, but i'm not expert on that stuff.

I'm definitely getting an e-cutout on mine though. The previous owner told me my car has a 2 1/4 cat on it (boo), with 2.5inch exhaust and a flowmaster muffler. it's gonna need it with boost for sure.

 

It cant hurt. you will probably notice more on a boosted car than a NA car so I would expect to see it pick up a few HP.

 

Ya im just debating wether to spend the money on the electric peice or not.

 

Manual one would be cheap. If you like it then order your electric one and it should bolt right on.

fwiw - I have no cat back. My downpipe dumps in front of my driver side front tire. Idle is good - sounds like a NA car. Cruise you hear no exhaust at all, only whistle. Same when you get on it - Little grunt at first and then just whistle once it spools.

I know you are asking about power, but I'm sure sound is part of the equation.

 

I was just wondering how much hp if any I would gain. I have a 3 inch cutout from summit I ordered. Gonna try that first.

 

How much are you making now?

It will pick up a few - Pretty much any muffler behind a turbo can choke it. Do the cutout or replace the magnaflow with a straight through muffler like a bullet.

 

I dont know on hp numbers. Blew out the tranny and it wont be done for my first dyno appt so Im going to wait till spring to re schedule the dyno. That way I can get some paint done now.

 

I would laugh about weak a4s.... but my clutch is pretty much shot. Same battle different parts to fix.

 

I doubt you would gain much off it honestly, put the ~$200 toward something better IMO.

 

Those were my exact thoughts. Thanks for confirming them.

 

Do a manual one just for the sound
