Cutouts?

This is prolly a stupid question, but what exactly are these? I thot that those were something like valves that go in a part of your exhaust system that you can crawl under the car and open up to have a, pretty much, open exhaust

thanks!

No question is stupid, you have a need and we're here to help. What you said is correct so you can have an open exhaust, I've even seen them in J.C. Whitney with cable control so you don't have to crawl under the car. Neat huh.

You pretty much got it. My cutout is sort of like a "T" in the intermediate pipe, with a plate of metal over one end held on by 3 wingnuts. Take off the plate, instant open exhaust.

I put my cut-out in front of the right rear tire. It basically reroutes your exhaust from going through the mufflers to going out the cut-out. Like Synapsis said it is shaped like a T. With mine I just added a small pipe extending from the exhaust pipe and welded a header flange to it. Cut-outs are intended to be used right under the headers for when you go to the track you cn run open headers. If you are a person like me then you just get them for the sound As far as bolting and unbolting I have yet to cover it

Dual exhaust??

How would this work on dual exhaust? Could you wire the cables into one main one, or would you have to have two seperate cables?

Thanks a lot guys!

Mine is the non-cable kind. The best kind to get if you have dual is the bolt ones. Cable is just too unreliable. Put one on each pipe and get ready for some nice sounding LOUD exhaust
