Re: Will an Electric Cutout do anything?

in CA, cut outs are legal, so long as they are after the cat. Also, when u smog, u need to take to electric out and put in a fixed cap on it.

a buddy of mine had a cutout on his LS1 camaro. on a stock motor, TPI especially, the lack of flow into the engine will be more of a limit than the ability to flow in exhaust. The cutout will help with the higher revs, and the TPI has issues getting into the higher revs
