so yeah?.....do i wanna make my care loud or not?......since you can't even here my car right now

 

the sounds really isn't the point of exhaust dumps... but i have them... two 3"ers and i can brake glass :P haha its pretty crazy crap! but ya...

 

Don't be TOO loud todd, it will get annoying.

 

im actually gonna go with dual cutouts as opposed to true duals for this year ... (a lot cheaper, same effect )

me and steve are gonna make OR pipes for the FLPs with 2 3" cutouts built in .. and ready to bolt in any FLP setup .. ceramic coated and all

hell if anyone else with FLPs wants, put ur order in

 

so far Im thinking yes

 

IMO ask other Vette owners that have already done this. I've heard that the C4 exhaust note is actually quite different according to model: L98's have a consistent but not overbearing rumble, ZR1's are extremely refined yet aggressive throughout the powerband, and LT1/4's can barely be heard until 3rd gear. My L83 C4 was surprisingly loud.

Search the Vette forum for sound clips and owner suggestions - asking F-Body cutout owners isn't really gonna help your Vette exploits .

 

Dual Cut-out's would mean dual the annoying exhaust leaks

 

Personally I'm not sure that the dual cutouts WILL get the affect you are looking for. It might be a modest improvement on the sound but it will be WAY too loud to be able to run around town.

Given that, why bother, just keep a single cutout.

I think to get a great sound that is also viable on the street, you will need to run through 2 or even four mufflers.

I would try and get a bullet style muffler that could replace the cats - in fact leave the cats installed for that matter - then run to the back and install a couple more bullet mufflers somewhere else.

just my thoughts.

 

Shaun, I have dual exhaust already, I am leaving the precats and the cat in still just running cutouts right before the mufflers

 

UPDATE - Did a search on the Vette forum....they say I will lose a bit of low end torque, but will gain some high end power


And about it being to loud ......guys say that you can't even hear it until you get up into the 3000 range....guess we will see when I get them installed tommrow

 

Sorry Todd, I had hijacked your thread.

My comments were directed at Payam. Although I concede I had forgotten you had a vette.

 

shaun, the dual cutouts will be just as good as running open headers ... in closed form, they will give me a lot of backpressure right off the collectors and improve my driveability.. flip da swtich and hello dual open headers that should be PLENTY of exh flow with 2 x 3" dumps for the track ... and scaring small municipalities (sp?)

i might even slap in a stock muffler :sleeeeeeper:

the way i see it, its a very cheap replacement for true dual performance ... it was actually steve's idea .. we will make them to fit the OR pipe section of the FLPs, ceramic coated and everything swap them in and out as u wish ... i might even try to sell a few ... im sure the idea of instant open dual exh would sound appealing for FLP owners

matt, the DMH cutout never leaked.

 

How about a little dyno info?

On my system it was only good for 4RWHP. This on an almost 400RWHP car!

Not worth the money but if you HAVE to have every last drop of HP i guess you should.

If it was not already on the car i would not install it.....

 

there not that much $$$ mine only cost $40 they get up there if u want the Electronic plates

 

BTW for those who may not know this was to by-pass my SLP Duel Duel Muffler
