Question TPS Activated Electric Cutout?

Are there any points in the RPM band where it would be more beneficial to run a full exhaust as opposed to having a cutout open?

If so, how feasible would it be to have an electric cutout activated by a TPS so that the cutout would open and close at a certain RPM?

Would it be worth it?

personally i dont think it would be worth it, considering it takes a good 4-5 seconds to open fully anyway.

I agree that it isnt worth the hastle, Simply because of the time it takes the cutout to open and close.

Thanks for the info.

Just something that popped into my head. I didn't know the cutouts opened so slowly.

Any other opinions are welcome.

the new c6 zo6's have this , not a cut out per say, but same technology. read in a car and driver ( i think ) the exhaust goes straight through above around 3-3500 rpm's
