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

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.
