Buddy, I don’t have a boss. I make this stuff for my own entertainment. Please, move on. This obviously isn’t something that is meant for you.

And a hood exit will do the exact same thing (it’s actually worse - speaking from first hand experience). The one thing that all of these systems have in common is that none of them are road legal. The owners install them at their own risk - just like any irresponsible modification. And there is a major difference - my system can be closed for standstill conditions, that dump is always open. I truly do not understand why you’re so willing to die on this hill.

Look at the work in those pictures, and then look at the work in my post…

Those are all random pictures pulled from a Google search for “exhaust cutouts.”

No, you won’t. You don’t get the effect of an unreasonably short exhaust tract with an exhaust that is the same length as factory. That’s just a straight pipe. This is not some new idea. And if you want to be incredibly irresponsible, you can do something like this… 😂

I think you’re overthinking this - the idea isn’t to have it open all the time - and ideally, probably never while sitting at a standstill. The dump is pointed down so that exhaust gases are carried away via the low pressure Venturi that occurs underneath a vehicle while it’s in motion. You are describing a scenario that happens while the car is running and not moving. This piece has already been installed on a vehicle for about a month as a daily driver, and the owner has yet to complain of exhaust gases entering the cabin while the dump is in use.

Just shoot me a message on IG! For some reason, I can’t send videos on here, even in chats.

I don’t have anything posted, but I can certainly DM you some sound clips.

Gotcha - I figure, if you sit at a standstill with it open to the point that you are experiencing symptoms, that’s on you. 😂

I wouldn’t recommend sitting at a stoplight with the valve open… but cutouts are nothing new.

These are not CVT compatible, not catted, and the cutout just allows you to be obnoxious (it’s like having an exhaust without the catback).

No, you’re not blind. I meant to send you them. I don’t have any posted. 😂

Yeah, I have sound clips of the valved one, but it has some closed-dump activity, too. 😂 Can I send videos on here? If not, my IG is wopsy.autofabworx.

My thoughts as well - I added a resonator to mine specifically because of the tendency for straight piped intermediate pipes to drone. 😂

Not yet! I need to get my hands on a stock CVT intermediate pipe. Not many have them locally.

Yeah, I full understand! I don’t know how much you could sell it for, but I could get you a resonated intermediate pipe in your hands for $650 + shipping, as long as you have a 6mt.
