Cut outs installed, pics inside

[CrazyAsian]

Well I finally got the cut outs installed and they fit right in, just had to trim the cut outs down a bit.

For those that like the pure "holy shnikies" effect of straights, but also drive high way and don't like the drone, this is a must do.

Let us know of improved times. I may get these if it is a good pickup. :scream:

Hey Roger - any thoughts on moving the covers out to the side somewhere so you don't have to crawl under the truck to take the covers off?

 

[CrazyAsian]

Rick, putting on the plates doesn't really require you to get under, just get on the passenger side and stick your head and arm under. My truck is lowered 2 inches in the rear and I have quite a fat head and I fit nicely . I have looked into an electronic remote opening cut out but they are quite expensive, around 250-300 a peice and the manual one that uses a cable is 2 inches in diameter while our plumbing is 2.5 inch. Plus the space to work with is very limited.

Where did you pick those up? It might be interesting to try a set of those when I change out the 12568 for the 12468.

 

[CrazyAsian]

picked them up from summit. part numer #SUM-G4821. They are 26.97 a peice

Cool, thanks.

I put those on my truck when I first changed the exhaust. Really cool to do a run at the track. WOT is amazing.......but........I ran slower times with them open than I did with them closed.............soooooo.......I took them off and put in an x-pipe. Much faster!

Hey, I dont want to sound stupid but what do the cut outs do? Are they for sound or are they for performance or both? From what I can tell they are fo performance because it says for race use only on summits website. How much of an increase in hp and/or 1/4 mile times do you get?

thanks for the info

 

[CrazyAsian]

I haven't been able to make it out to the track yet.

Cut-outs with dash control cable

Have you seen the cut-outs that JCWhiteny sells that have a 5-foot dash control cable? There also 5 bucks cheaper. Is there something bad about these or did you just not know about them?

 

[CrazyAsian]

Errr I think they are 2 inch diameter and not 2.5, correct me if i'm wrong.

 

[J15BIG]

you are right, there max is 2 1/4"

 

[kylightning]

i am really considering getting these cut outs but i was thinking....

is it possible for them to lean out the engine or cause any other damage to it?

crazyasian- did you install them yourself?

i went to check how much to install them, $120 to install them side by side infront of the muffler or $90 to install them like your set up- to hell with that - i have a mig and i will do it myself for that kind of coin.

 

[CrazyAsian]

Ky, I asked JL if the distance from the opening to the O2 sensor would cause a problem and he said no and I have no seen any problem. And I had them installed for 70.
