I am currently testing an electric exhaust cutout on my car with the intentions of possibly selling it from my website. It bolts right on to a typical 3" test tube with the 3 bolt dump plate on it.
It's not that I am too lazy to remove the 3 wings nuts off the plate! I wanted something that I could do on the fly. Have had it on my GN for a few miles now and the best part so far was coming up to a stop light and seeing some guy working on a Mustang. Pushed the button and opened up the plate and the look on his face was priceless when I took off from the light! Little ways down the road and hit the switch to close it back up and back to quiet motoring.
You can also open the plate to wherever it sounds best. I was actually driving around with the plate about 1/3 open and it sounds pretty good. You can really hear your turbo spooling up, that's for sure.
Installation is pretty easy. Removed the existing plate from the exhaust cutout and bolted on the motorized plate. Ran the wire along the trans crossmember away from the exhaust and driveshaft and brought it into the car thru the grommet for the shifter cable. I pulled the power and ground for the motor from the wires running to my gauge pod that is located on the front of the console. Drilled two holes in the pod, one for the switch and one for the indicator light that lets you know when the plate is fully closed or open.
Is there any interest out there for possibly going into production on these? Probably would be somewhere in the $100-$125 range. I will post some pics later tonite when I get home.
