Default I had an idea

I remember a while ago, everyone was talking about running an open downpipe right after they installed their turbo, just for a few blocks or whatever....

Anyway, why wouldnt somebody weld on a cut-out right after the down pipe?? Could that be done to have the open-downpipe setup available at the flip of a switch??

Just was wondering if that would work, tear my theory to pieces if you must.

Peace

I meant for the track and stuff, like running open headers at the strip w/o having to unbolt the rest of the exhaust.

I think Arospeed ( ) has one of those for your exhaust. It's just a little valve thing, I'm sure you could do it...

if you weld that on, you can open or close the pipe by pulling/pushing the cable

Those things are usually noisy as f*ck. They don't get as good a seal as a real exhaust pipe. But if you don't mind havin a small exhaust leak sound, go for it.
