Can anyone explain to me the purpose of an e-cutout, why you would need/want one, whats it do, ect...thank you

Search.

Quick answer, it bypasses the rest of your exhaust system allowing you to pollute the environment while making a few more hp.

its just like running open header basically.
only race cars and dumb ricers do it and im sure you dont have one posting in this section.

2008fijibluesi

you calling greg a ricer? lol

i-VTEC_DOHC

no. greg has an evo2 exhaust

2008fijibluesi

Yeah and he was running a dump. It's essentially the same thing. Or are you saying his evo2 makes his whip a race car...lol.

i-VTEC_DOHC

^i never said anything like that. the dump pipe isnt an exhaust cut out. his dump pipe was basically just a mid pipe because it ended where the axleback would bolt up.

whats your problem? lol

I was kidding knucklehead.

Many people put exhaust cut-outs after the cat on a cat-back...which would equal the same thing Greg had anyway, except Greg had a couple more feet of piping.

alrighty, thank you very much for the answers

Now how many of you that answered that it pollutes and whatnot have a race header?

Nexx

Kidnkorner is correct. Race-Headers are catless and just as bad in terms of pollution.

2008fijibluesi

Incorrect. Cat-less race headers are catless. Vibrant offers it's race header with a cat...I for one don't have a race header yet and I wasn't stating that an e-cutout pollutes because I care....just to state a fact.

Would "test pipes" count as a cat? JK
