E-cutout
 

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.

Re: E-cutout
 

you calling greg a ricer? lol :o

Re: E-cutout
 

no. greg has an evo2 exhaust ;)

Re: E-cutout
 

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. ;)

Re: E-cutout
 

^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

Re: E-cutout
 

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.

Re: E-cutout
 

alrighty, thank you very much for the answers

Re: E-cutout
 

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

Re: E-cutout
 

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

Re: E-cutout
 

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.

Re: E-cutout
 

Would "test pipes" count as a cat? JK
