i think maybe the only concern would be at a road course or auto-x event when they would be open for long periods of time, but even then im not too worried since my car will be moving the whole time.

how did you make the piece that goes from the end of the DP to the cutout? Custom? - S4=Lunch 2006-04-19 10:50:31 (240 views)

i just have gutted stock downpipes going into the 2.5" cutout pipe, then to my stock cats. - bertworks 2006-04-19 11:03:01 (227 views)

so, 2.0" cutouts, 2.25" or 2.5"? :) TIA! - S4=Lunch 2006-04-19 11:12:02 (187 views)

I run a DMH cut-out after the cat, in place of a cat-back system. Flows better, and quiet for work. - S4KTS 2006-04-19 10:37:46 (247 views)

Therm wrap would just keep conducted heat in - You'd stand them off like IM spacers if anything. - Superflex 2006-10-11 15:56:32 (139 views)

big thanks to DMH PERFORMANCE for the awesome cutouts. - bertworks 2006-04-19 10:10:43 (212 views)

Very nice work, would be interested in the results - Milpitas2.7T 2006-04-19 10:10:20 (163 views)

how will they be actuated? Switch? RPM? It'd be interesting to see them open at 4k or so. - 'Nova S4 (Greg) 2006-04-19 10:07:37 (219 views)

just a switch to open and close. i need to dyno them to see if im losing any low end torque with - bertworks 2006-04-19 10:18:45 (284 views)

you will not lose any power at all ever with them open - Snow Trooper@ToonerX 2006-04-19 10:23:39 (370 views)

well these cutouts eliminate almost all back pressure. - bertworks 2006-04-19 10:39:16 (196 views)

well there you go then.... - Snow Trooper@ToonerX 2006-04-19 10:43:09 (218 views)

i was just thinking of how some high end sports cars like the new z06 or the ferrari f-430 have - bertworks 2006-04-19 10:52:36 (347 views)

yeah, you will never lose power on a turbo car by eliminating back pressure post-turbine. - mjtaylor 2006-04-19 13:31:38 (234 views)

I'm in that camp and have always been, but I've seen heard of loss of low end torque - Milpitas2.7T 2006-04-19 14:26:45 (238 views)

That type setup didn't hurt MarkP's numbers. - Flyboy 2006-04-19 17:49:45 (433 views)

Yup. Turbos run on pressure differential...you want high pressure in and low pressure out - box_of_partS4 2006-04-19 10:26:54 (246 views)

agreed, my question was more about if there's a sudden pressure drop what that would do - 'Nova S4 (Greg) 2006-04-19 10:43:50 (210 views)

only positive effects - Snow Trooper@ToonerX 2006-04-19 10:48:43 (147 views)

looks loud. nice work though. - BiturboBoy_V2.0_S3-- 2006-04-19 10:00:29 (162 views)
