Muffler bypass w/elec cutout?
I've got an 87 5.0 GT. Putting on complete new exhaust system-thinkin of having cutouts put in front of mufflers and dumping out back into pipes behind muffler. Will I lose power and/or low end due to loss of backpressure??

Look into long tubes... If you don't want to deal with them (they can be a bitch and are huge)... then look into equal length headers... I run MAC equal length (shorty) headers and recomend them if you decide you don't want LTs I take it that you will have the rest of the exhaust done custom... I would use 2.5 inch piping EDIT... In the Long Run... definately go with Long tubes... I recomend Hooker |
I would love LT s(especially Hooker), but my car is lowered a good 2"--LT s used to hang down more. Are they different nowadays?

They shouldn't hang much lower then the midpipe or anything else though... You'll just want to avoid speedbumps... |
also keep in mind electric cuts are garbage.

Oh really, didn't know-- I thought elec cutouts were the $h!t. whats up w/that? they don't close all the way or tempermental or what--not really been up on whats been happenin????/
|
They crap out. and dont seal all the way and make the car sound like crap.

Just buy some Warlock mufflers. They come w/two exits at the rear of the muffler. One will be for tailpipes and the other is a block off plate held on by 3 wingnuts. Had them on my car and "uncorked" they sound awesome yet loud.
