just kinda curious. im gonna have my dp made soon with the dmh cutout and y pipe put in there. i want to get an o2 bung before the y pipe, but if i keep the downpipe stock length i think the o2 sensor will be in the way of my intermediate shaft . what are other people doing with this? btw the car is a 97 ej coupe with an lsvtec

 

You should have plenty of room before the Y. Why not just extend the wire of the O2 sensor and relocate the bung closer to the front? What is this O2 sensor for? Primary or wide band?

3inch DHM to 2.5 Inch exhaust all the way back, closed cutout is very nice vtec hits loud, and open it's a fucken beast

 

i'm getting mine from http://www.crpturbo.com check it out! it's a full dp with ecut on the side.

 

i say go farther away from the turbo so it doesnt experience as much heat.......just an thought....mine was close like that and f'ed up in 3 weeks...

 

here are a few pics that I have collected. I want to use a cutout on my downpipe when the time comes. These are just to gauge what im getting myself into.

by far one of the nicest setups ive seen

 

wow thanks guys. the pics really help, you've all got some very nice setups going.

i want to put the bung down there, solely for my wideband. right now its close to the turbine and i keep messing up sensors .

i am actually planning on puttin the compressor on the drivers side, and running the dp straight down and back under the pan. im planning on buying a da teg by summer and i want the setup to be able to transfer over as easy as possible.


i noticed that a few of you had a turndown right after the cutout- i know it would help keep the hot exhaust off the bottom of my car, but do you think i can get away without it? the studs that came with the y pipe arent very long and i dont think i can bolt a flange on there once the cutout is on the studs.....
keep the pics and ideas comming, its very helpful

i like tony1's

 

i see that in the pics the ecutout is right after the turbo, is that better? i was planning to put it at the end of the downpipe.

 

With the cut-out right there in the engine bay won't you have the problem of sucking up the exhaust fumes into the compressor?

 

i was thinking of putting mine right before my cat.

that how I want mine right before the cat. Tony is the only person I know that can make it and do ANYTHING right the first time!

 

i dont mean to ask a dumb question...but what is the reason for having a cut-out instead of just running an exhaust down pipe??

 

To retain a quiet exhaust... and when needed the cutout opens relivening backpressure. Systems can be opened up by boost.... manual... or an electric motor

 

good thread. here's my $5 weld/fab

 

thermal- thats just about exactly the way i had mine planned out to be, the only exception is i wanted my o2 bung to be right before the cutout.

i also have a 2.5" testpipe that i have no problem cutting shorter to add length for the y pipe in my downpipe, but that would put the actual cutout right underneath my car, near the shift linkage. any negative effects to that besides a "hot shifter" hehe????

 

Actually, I relocated that bung right before the Y pipe. It would make more sense that way

with something like that, you can make it intially 4inch dp and then make it go 2.25 all the way back huh? so if your car is slammed, no clearance issues?

i just don't know about it being so close to the return line, wouldn't that be like burning oil? LOL

 

tony does the ecutout company sell those flanges or did u have to make em?

 

does anyone know where to get a manual cutout? like a cable operated one?

 

If anybody is interested, I have a brand new DMH E-cutout for sale. $185 shipped and includes "flowtech" pipe. Hit me up via PM.
