exhaust cutouts? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So who has them and what brand do you recommend. I've heard good and bad things about a bunch of companies, and was hoping I'd get clearer answers here.

Thanks -Mike

Are you looking for cable or electric operated? I've heard the electrics can be a lot of trouble.

mikajo39 · 10-07-2009, 11:08 PM

Either, only cable ones I can find are 2 inch diameter though so not much use for me i have 2 1/4, wish my exhaust guy had listened when I said 2.5.
But I don't mind manual-crawl-under-the-truck ones either, I saw summit sells manual ones for 40 bucks either weld or clamp, but they're just natural steel and I wouldn't want them to rust out in a few years, but I do live in Nor cal, not too wet here

dmh, electrics works fine for hundreds of thousands of late model performance cars. Don't bother with a 2" cutout

mikajo39 · 10-07-2009, 11:18 PM

My buddy has a DMH cutout on his 88 rx7 works pretty good, jammed up once though, just had to turn the car off and on and it worked. Sounded like it leaked a bit, but nothing bad. How about QTP?

'72customdeluxe · 10-07-2009, 11:19 PM

qtp is pretty swell as well

mikajo39 · 10-07-2009, 11:22 PM

Expensive too! I may just be cheap grab a pair of the summit brand ones for 42 bucks cut get em welded by a friend, and when i saved enough dough get the electric attatchemnts for the summit ones I have.
Anyone have any videos with our trucks?

I've got a set of 3" Race Readies by FlowTech welded in right to the flange behind the collectors. Three wingnuts that came with a little tool made to loosen/tighten them. Kinda sucks having to shimmy under it since it's lowered, but a lot cheaper then elecrtrics, and for as often as their opened, eletrics aren't worth it.

my truck is stock height so I'd prob just stick with manual ones, only prob is when the fuzz comes around I can't close em quick!

I have Race Ready Performance Electric Exhaust Cutouts on my truck at
2-1/2" A buddy gave them to me (he wasnt going to use them on his Hot rod and they were new) and they work Great. I did have a problem with one but they honored the warrantee and Customer service was Excellent.
Lots of fun
