on that sight, the only import it says it has it for is a WRX...whats up with that?

 

[Travis_GST]

also, on im not seeing anyone putting them BEFORE the cat...can u not do that????

that's where you want to put one. That way you are eliminating the biggest restiction in your exhaust. Most poeple put them in after the cat becuase they think that hte muffler is the most restictive part of the exhaust. What you should do is take out your cat and put in the cutout there. That's how i have mine and it works great.

i have had the parts sitting in the garge for alittle while, i just got to get it all welded together, I'm hoping to have it all put in this weekend

well i dont wanna take out the cat completely...i still need to pass inspection when the time comes. Is there a way to put it before the cat, but keep the cat?

^^ya just go to an exhaust shop and tell them where you want it. They will cut out a sectin of the pipe in that spot and then weld it in there. I suggest you buy an aftermarket dp first so you only have to pay once to get it installed.

yeah im gonna put mine in a rnr2.5, right after the o2 housing

 

[98eclipseRS]

you might not be able to fit it there. That was where i wanted to put mine originally(original exhaust idea was to leave all stock except for 3" dp and put electric cutout on the dp beofre flex section) But the bend isnt that long and the cutouts are usually quite long so getting it to fit would require some cutting of the cutout and xhaust pipe. Wouldn't be worth it unless you got a good hookup at an exhuast shop.

oh, i didnt know that

The cutout housing and motor assembly is kinda large so I put mine in after the high-flow cat.

Don't worry about where you put it, you won't pass inspection with a cutout on the car.

TRC §547.604.

MUFFLER REQUIRED.

(a) A motor vehicle shall be equipped with a muffler in good working condition that continually operates to prevent excessive or unusual noise.

(b) A person may not use a muffler cutout, bypass, or similar device on a motor vehicle.

how are they going to know if you have it closed?
second of all keep the cut out in place of the cat, just weld some brakets to put it in place of it, when it's time to pass emissions just switch them up.

don't know how emmisions are where you live but in cali they go straight nazi on your ass. Visual inspections, dyno, and tailpipe test so basically you have to be stock with better than factory emissions if you wnt to pass(this last part is overexagerated but you get the point) but they will look under the car and if they see it you will be ####ed.

Maybe in cali, but they dont even look under the car here in TX. Just stick the sensor on the exhaust pipe and thats it.

the under the car inspection has never been an issue for me, two or three cops have looked under my car but thier pig @sses are too damn lazy to get low enough to even really check for a cat, and of course they didnt see it, ive had the n1 downpipe and catback for about a year, and the only ticket i got was cause it was too loud.......... but anyways just to be safe thats why i want to try and fit it before the flex section

That's your Texas law there, podner.
Pray the thing doesn't whisper a leak....

i resently got a cut-out before the cat and even though the sound was awesome it ate up SO MUCH gas! it was crazy! i spent $20 on gas and only got 100 miles out of it. And before anyone asks me...no i didnt have a lead foot after i got it. Plus i couldnt hear the turbo or bov. I capped it becuase of the gas and i missed the sound of my turbo. did this happen to anyone else?

 

[1badtsi]

if it has the same power as when i ran open downpipe, i dont really give a hoot about the gas milage, cause i will only have it open when im racing, i should be ordering mine in a week or two, ill post up some pics, when i do

 

[swing lo]

A man if you want more power you gotta sacrafice somethings. I mean i think you would want to beat the oposing car instead of hearing your bov.

exactly, man this thread has got way more responses than i thought, thanx for the input guys...........CUT-OUTS RULE
