im going to be putting an electric one on my 84 camaro very soon. im probably going to get the one that QTP makes. mainly because they are about 10-15min from my house.

Third Gen? No. But I used one on a '78 Monte and it was OK. If I remember correctly, you can only get one for a 2" exhaust and the cable starts to stick and get all crudded up.

If you are interested, I'll have a 2.5" cutout and 2.5" electric valve (QTEC) for sale soon...

Teds putting a 3" On his Iroc, pretty much the installs are the same as far as 3rd & 4th gens go. The best place to isntall a cut-out on one is right before the rear axle. There is a straight part of the pipe before it goes over the axle that will give you plenty of clearance.

ps. I would wait for the Kooks cut-outs to come out.

::n00b question::

Don't mean to hi-jack the thread, but is there any performance gains from having a cutout? As far as i know, they were just put there so you can deafen everybody around you :lol:

It all depends on the car. I've seen some cars make power with them open, and I've seen cars loose power with them. Generally you'll only see a higher RPM increase of 5-10 hp.

over a bone stock exhaust, they make decent power. somewhere ive seen an article about installing a cutout after the cats, before the stock muffler. made i think 15 rwhp. but if you have an exhause already, ie: bullet muffler, highflow cats, headers, you wont get a huge differance.

Jared1970Chevelle 06-07-2007 06:53 PM

wildbilly how much for them?

arock how much would you sell one of your handbuilt ones for?

not waiting for KROOKS.... my friend waited 2 months for headers and no to mention the 15% price increase that he made effective june 1 lol..
