Exhaust Cutout?

tiltmode43 · 01-17-2013, 12:26 AM

Curious, has anybody considered or pulled the trigger on an exhaust cutout? I'm not sure how much room we have to work with but considering our motor, a dump after the downpipe may yield some surprising gains.

I don't think we have any issues with boost creep, like some other applications but can anyone think of why this may cause mechanical harm?

This is something I was toying around with - loud with the extra power, when you want it. Quiet and a bit more subdued, when you don't.

How about wastegate to atmosphere. Those are awesome.

The Rogue has the cutout in front of the rear muffler. You can add an eclectic cutout to it for extra $$$. Even left open it was still streetable thanks to the silencer.

This sounds really cool! With the stock DP I imagine that with the cutout open, it would be very livable considering the turbo to quiet things down.

You happen to know when Rogue is planning their release?
