Showing off my exhaust guys work

I'll say it again...
GOD DAMN THAT'S SEXY!
But aren't they harder to uncap since they face the inside?

About half an hour total.
Hardest part is getting the car in the air.

Can you get electric cutouts???

Can you get electric cutouts???

That's what I was think'n, a bit of moolah tho, but concidering how much he's already put in it :dunno:

I can. But I won't.

They clog and don't seal up completely.
They won't be open all that often anyways.

That's nice.

looks good

There are open right now.

:lol:
Good times.

i was looking at the cutouts on my mate's truck, he's got some he made from water pipe valves. instead of butterflies the valve goes down to block the gas flow. they don't leak when closed and don't jam either.

it looks like a tap valve with a high torque motor fixed to it.

Here they are...open.

Damn I miss that sound. The video doesn't do it justice. Its SO much louder in person.

mmm....


you need to make like a 2-hour special, with lots of drive-bys and tyre smoke...

Well.. that video proves that the Firehawk that was revving at me had open headers. the video doesnt do the actual sound justice as it sounds so much better when you're standing there.

That's what I was think'n, a bit of moolah tho, but concidering how much he's already put in it :dunno:
they suck, they leak when the get carboned up, and sometimes they just dont open at all, these you just take off 3 wingnuts and bam plate is off and you have exhaust cutouts

awesome man.. so cut-outs really gives around 15-20hp?

Not on most cars.

can you drive to a track then take them out? or would they be too hot?

I could.

But I will just drive to and from the track with them open.

Won't be two hours...but a new video is coming.

I could.

But I will just drive to and from the track with them open.

sweet!

my friend likes to drive as often as possible with his coutouts open.

6.2 litres of raw diesel power never sounded so good. nor did it ever plume so much black smoke...

Soon?

What?

What?

me or shannon?

666.
Assuming that is Shannon.

How soon is the video coming?

Not sure.

Waiting on the weather to be nice on a weekend right now. Need a good cameraman. :lol:
It will be sometime this winter.

why did you have inwards-facing ones?

They wouldn't go up flush if they pointed out.
Subframes get in the way.

Isnt the weather suppost to get bad? I know its suppost to ice over, this thursday so I can only imagine Colorado.

Mr. Luos, do you have a pic of the rear axle with the new exhaust????

I do not.

It is about 10 degrees out right now. Got 3 inches of snow today. Needless to say...needs to be a bit nicer. :lol:
