Exhaust cutout.

[Nomad707]

Any opinions?

Anyone here using one?

i thought about getting one but i thought i would see what everyone thought about them first.

Brand preference?

I've heard one on a 6M cressi... Sounded like $#!T

ive heard them and dont care for it much. it depends what your wanting, and where you live though. what is your reasoning for wanting a cutout?

 

[Nomad707]

was thinking of using it on my future 1jz project that will be used as a Daily driver and a track car.

 

[SMP142]

well considering if you still live in cali. your not going to be able to get away with an aftermarket exhaust really. it might be to your benefit to run a cutout. me personally, i am going to run a full 4" on my project and be done with it.

 

[Nomad707]

where i live in california, no one cares. i run full 3" exhuast now with a high flow cat.. it's not LOUD but its a decent amount noisy.

Plus here where i live you get it smogged once then never again

 

[SMP142]

just go 4" and forget it then. thats what i am doing when i do my swap. its good for over 600hp and sounds bad! did you ever hear kwnate's?

[Nomad707]

[Mk3runner]

Eh?...How is this?

^

I second that, in California of all places??

 

[Mk3runner]

I'm calling third, how is that possible? I know people who look the other way but you still have to show up and run it.

Depends on where the car is registered. Some areas use enhanced testing, some basic, some require basic testing only when the vehicle is first registered and thereafter only when sold. These designated "change of ownership" areas are zip code dependent and commonly in rural parts of the state:

It's your gum'mint at work. Since Cali folks allowed their politicos to get away with it no bitching is allowed...

 

[Nomad707]

its cool... i just register my vehicles at my fathers house in lake county california and according to lake county, you have to smog your vehicle once, during the change of ownership.

Better hope they don't find out you have a permanent address elsewhere. The law is specific about that.

Btw, smog is about to get worse for those who must do it. Effective 1 November 2007 vehicle model years from 1976 to 1995 will require low pressure testing of the EVAP system. Other than the gas cap test EVAP was a visual check item in the past. Since the equipment for this test costs about $3000 expect the price for a smog check to increase. Expect lots of failures too.

Guess it's time to buy an old classic car and slap a 7M in it. :biglaugh:

im going to move to florida.

No emissions testing is why I love living here.

jet jock thats only in Cali or everywhere? i guess they would have a cap to thread onto the gas tank filler to test it?
