Exhaust cutouts?
Would exhaust cutouts be worth any power mounted infront of a muffler like right after the header? Pipes a 3 1/2 so that would be the cutout size and a 3 inch reducer welded at the end.

Re: Exhaust cutouts?
Several years ago NHRA dis-allowed tubular headers on the "Stockers". Several designs I had the opportunity to inspect simply had the "cut-out", if you will, installed in-line with the exhaust pipe just after the manifold. The muffler and the pipe that appeared to connect the muffler to the system was "T'd" off after the "cut-out". This allowed the "path-of-least-resistance" to follow the open "cut-out" and bypass the muffler!

My point is, install the opening of the "cut-out" in-line with the headers collector and "T" the exhaust pipe leading to the muffler on the side of the collector or the large diameter tubing you now call the "cut-out".
Damn, now I'm confused!

Re: Exhaust cutouts?
So install the muffler on the part that sticks out

Re: Exhaust cutouts?
Dave, I am so glad you see it the same way I do. I have always hated the design, the exhaust will want to keep flowing straight, not go out of its way to go through an open pipe off to the side. I have always wanted to make a better designed cut out because of this reason.
That's why I have always liked the design of this x pipe that Jegs sells...

cut out design
This may be a little off topic, but why does every one design cut outs the same way? With the free flowing part as a after thought, like a T. wouldn't that affect flow? If you think about flow like water, then the water that flows into the T section would be hitting the blocked off wall. Trying to bounce off instead of flowing strait when it is closed, causing back pressure. even when the section is open the flow would want to continue its path strait into the existing pipe instead of exiting the cut out. I think it should be a Y with the butterfly in the center to direct the flow not to block it. Any one else think this way or am i just loosing it?

I'm with you. I think that it's best to have the cutout on the straight through, and have the pipe continue on the angle into an x pipe. That way there is minimum restriction when you want full power. I went with a unit like this:

Re: Exhaust cutouts?
I see what your saying about the straight through layout i think that's a good way to keep the flow straight and smooth. even if my idea for the smoother butterfly in the middle does not add that much more flow, it will still be cheaper than trying to port and polish heads. i think its worth bringing up to a few CNC buddy's.

The Mr. Gasket cut out is cast iron.

Re: Exhaust cutouts?
I think that they only make them in 2 inch, or 2.5" or something. Too small IMO.
