Read it and tell me what you think.

I think its the best thing ever and saves you money and will give you more power. Since you do not have to buy new muffler and can be legal.

 

It looks good but i bet its going to get reeeeally loud. My concern is the Valve, how good of a quality, if it doesnt seal correctly, it will sound like u have an exhaust leak all the time. I would like to see the difference on a Dyno though, U will have almost no backpressure there, so u could even loose HP. .
Somebody test this thing.

interesting, in theory it would work, it just seems kinda sketchy to me, and probably everyone else, which is probably why no one has one. get one and let us know how it is

 

It does look pretty cool, and if you can route a pipe over and behind the front left wheel, it would work very well for track and autoX. and keep most the noise on the other side.

I bet having a pipe on the side and the back would freak people out

 

Back preasure might be a problem. I think puting a pipe on it would help and have it come out right b4 the bumper to help incrrease the back preasure

 

I've never seen a turbo that likes back pressure. Where can I get information on the appropriate back pressure turbo manufacturers reccommend?

 

damn thats gotta be loud

 

gotta hurt the earz!

 

I am assuming ultimat racing did some sorta of testing b4 coming out with since they make it for several models. Ill e-mail them and see what they say

 

Looks like the exhaust cutout setup used by a lot of LS1 Camaros. Works for them fairly well, and provides dyno proven horsepower. Only issue with our cars is would it cause boost spikes/creep? I mean only issue besides the loud **** noise of course...

 

I had a ls1 b4 the evo and I have the cut out you are talking about. But for that u had to unbolt a plate everytime u wanted to not use ur muffler and cat. Thats the only thing i am worried about is the spike

 

Seems that it would be difficult to tune something that you only use part time. It would require a separate switchable map to take full advantage of the capabilities. Since it is electronically controlled, you could use the activation signal to trigger the map switch if using a piggy back similar to the XEDE. Still some complications though such as resetting ECU between map changes would require you to shut down the car when changing over. Not exactly an on-the-fly option but it appears to have some possibilities.

 

Actually, the design has been around for quite a while among the hot rodder community for quite sometime now, they would actually intergrate a trap door on a splitter exhaust pipe that has a actuator on it, and with a flick of a switch you would be running an open header (and be extremely loud as well), ive never seen it done with a turbo downpipe before like the one they are selling.

 

would a test pipe make car a lot louder? if so will the noise still b clean like our stock setup
