So Emission Legal LT's to an off-road y an electric cut out and the magnaflow?

Yea thats going to be pretty loud.

Sounds like a pretty good set-up.

I better start on my Z soon before we battle it out!

[ar0ck]

The headers are non emmision, and I haven't decided what Im going to do with the Y-pipe. Im probably going to end up with a 3" Y-pipe and a single magnaflow cat (OBDI Single Cat Car) since it has to be fabricated anyway.

So it'll be:
LT's -> 3" Y-pipe -> 3" Magnaflow High-Flow Cat -> 3" Cut-Out -> 3" Magnaflow Cat-Back.

doesnt it defeat the purpose of u put your cut out after the cat?

[GP99GT]

not really, it doesnt have to go back through the mufflers still...but it would be more effective before the cat.

[NJSPEEDER]

the cat is about 10timees the restriction that a muffler is. putting a cut out after the cat is a complete waste of time.

decision is made im running a "hollow cat" hehe.

[slasherbarb]

[ar0ck]

Its just for sound and to show off the product. You think I paid for any of it?

[NJSPEEDER]

if it is for sound, put it where it will actually make some noise, before the cat. :D

[WayFast84]

my set up.. hedman>2 1/2 y pipe>cut out>cat>dynomax.....Let me know if the cut out isnt a peice of junk and actually opens!! I want electrice cut out but $22 and knowing that it will work is worth it...I guess

[bad64chevelle]

What are these catalytic converters you people speak of? :rolleyes:

The cut-out defenitly is not a pecie of junk, I built it myself!

A complete QTEC set up for one 2 1/2 stainless steel cut-out & electric valve is $199.99. These set-ups have been out their for a long time!

[Savage_Messiah]

definately put it before the cat. Delete the cat, even. At least put it before the cat tho.... BE A MAN! GROW A SET!

[JL8Jeff]

Wrong! The muffler is 10 times more restrictive than the cat. I've told you this before Tim. Tests have shown that mufflers are way more restrictive than high flow cats. So removing cats and keeping mufflers doesn't gain much at all except the ability to lean out the mixture to the ragged edge. But for him, I don't understand why he is bothering to keep a cat if he's running non emission's headers. You won't pass the visual inspection without the AIR setup so who cares if there's a cat or not. But true, most people would put the cutout before the cat.

[BigAls87Z28]

High Flow cats have very little restriction, even when compared to an aftermarket muffler.

lemme guess, got a little too hot and the gear came off and melted inside it.

[ar0ck]

It all depends on where you put it. Theirs a chalk line test you can do and you can place it at the least heated spot in the exhaust, that will drastically increase the life of the cut-out. Thats just kind of common knowledge I think, you dont put electronics near extreme heat.

And since when do they pop hoods for inspection?

[JL8Jeff]

And since when do they pop hoods for inspection?

They did on my 93, my 91, my 87, my 88.

[slasherbarb]

Every one I know who has an electric cut out says It worked for a bit then got to hot and it stopped working or it just didnt work at all :?or you could lose half of the cutout on a high driveway like matt(GP99GT) did :rofl:

[Tru2Chevy]

And since when do they pop hoods for inspection?

They pop them when they feel like it....

[WayFast84]

I need the whole story sounds funny :grin:

Why are their so many matt's on this board? Coppy cats (even though I was born last)

[Mike]

popped mine and looked at the nitrous lines........then they failed me

[slasherbarb]

Why are their so many matt's on this board? Coppy cats (even though I was born last)ask matt...he is the only who can give you the whole story...from what i recall he was backing in or out of a friend's drive way and ripped the electric part of the cutout right off...

[BigAls87Z28]

popped mine and looked at the nitrous lines........then they failed me


I can see it now...

"Lets see what ya got here Mr.Trans Am...."
*pops hood*
"Steel braided lines running to intake.....N....O....S? OH **** THIS CARS GOT NAWZ!!"
Failed.

[Ian]

next time just buy some cheap black rubber hose and cover the lines. dont know what to do about the soleniods though :?

[BigAls87Z28]

Werd. Mark it with "CATION:FUEL LINES" and no one will F with it.
Or you can get the tite red wire loom!!

I have only seen them pop the hood on one car, my old 87. But the guy just opened it, looked at the engine and the purdy polished TPI and goes "cool man, cool" and closed the hood?
That should be a lesson to all, make sure under your hood is blingged out.

[WayFast84]

You got it all wrong...when they see the N20 lines be like "its JUST a 150 shot" lol

[Firebird67dude]

I've never seen them open a hood at inspection. Well, not tru. On the 67 the opened the hood to mess with the carb but thats about it. SO wat ur saying is ur (for performance reasons) better off gutting the stock muffler than gutting the cat?

My exhaust set up is: Edelbrock shorties<3in. y pipe< 3in. gutted cat<3 in.(unkown)cat back.

[Savage_Messiah]

!cat and have a free-flowing muffler FTW

[WayFast84]

and !air

[Savage_Messiah]

never had it myself

[ar0ck]

Yeah I was thinking, just polish the living crap out of the engine bay, Im sure they wont even notice the !AIR. So far I figure most DMV people wouldn't even know what to look for.

[Savage_Messiah]

They're not even DMV people, the state inspection people are ran and staffed by people who work for some company called "Parsons."

I've never seen them pop a hood and I've gone... 5 times with my car and twice with my dad's :lol:

[Savage_Messiah]

What are these catalytic converters you people speak of? :rolleyes:

:stupid:

[V]

hell what are these catbacks you are talking about?... i ONLY ran an off road Y pipe for like 5 months with my stock manifolds... i miss that lol

[maroman88]

yes i have to lay underneath my car to open the cutout, well its always open so who cares? ill close it for inspection n thats it lol

My point exzactly...

[Savage_Messiah]

it was a joke lol

[GP99GT]

the story of my cutout. i was in my friends driveway backing up into a spot, and there was a railroad tie sticking up a bit out of the driveway...on a slight hill, so i high centered it on the cutout. it snapped the electric motor right off of the plate, bent the "driveshaft", and screwed up all the internals....i ripped it off and threw it in the woods. turns out that also cracked my downpipe, so about a week later it started getting louder and louder, till eventually i was running basically open manifolds...sounded sweet.

now i just run with the cutout open all the time, unless i need to cap it for some reason.
