You know what Eric, I was just thinking to myself that in order to be a successful youtube video blogger such as yourself you need to humble and be able to have thick skin. I've noticed that you've handled criticism very well and haven't fed the trolls or stooped to a level such as them. Now I'm not calling everyone that has an issue with your video or disagrees with you a troll but there are times when people get rude and downright disrespectful and you haven't given them a soapbox. To me, being able to remain professional, respectful and calm when being criticized is a very important key for success. And I think people need to take note of this and see why he's amassed such a loyal following. When compared to all the other guys that were on the pull-a-part challenge I think Eric gets the most amount of criticism and I believe he handles it exceptionally well.

I agree, I'm all about crimping. I used to use the ones you shown in the video, but found that I had better success with using non-insulated butt connectors and then following it up with marine grade heat shrink tubing. the benefit of marine grade heat shrink tuning is that it is lined with adhesive, which provides a weatherproof seal to your connection.

Yes! The look on your face when you openned it up for this first time. Perfect.

Just a small tip when splicing wires stagger them. This will keep the bulk out and keep the wires tighter together. Especially if you have to feed the wires through grommets or tight spaces. Great job!!! I have cut outs too (Manual) on my vette I need electric cutouts now!!!

Another small tip or at least confirmation of theory there is a very good reason for crimping and splicing opposed to soldering. Soldering creates a hard contact point that the vibration of vehicles can cause rapid failure of the wiring. The crimps allow to wire to maintain flexibility so the vibration has less of an impact.

That race ready cutout opens pretty fast for that style. My QTP cutout of the same style takes a few seconds to open. However the additional gear reduction in the QTP also seems to keep it shut under load which it sounds like the race ready one might have issues with based on when you said that it opens slightly if you get on it. I've also experienced the pain of making a turndown fit the cutout bolt pattern, where I ended up taking a 3" hole saw to the block-off plate that came with my y-pipe.

Thank you for the video. I had no idea this was even possible. It's kind of a no-brainer if you're adding a performance exhaust. Mind blown.

Look at your states vehicle laws. Most have it somewhere in them that modification of the exhaust to increase the noise level is illegal, many specifically say that exhaust cut-outs and straight pipes are prohibited. Here are 3 examples of the 49 states that have restrictions. The only state that doesn't list them is Vermont Alabama - Code Title 32. Motor Vehicles and Traffic. § 32-5-216 (a) Every motor vehicle shall at all times be equipped with a muffler in good working order and in constant operation to prevent excessive or unusual noise and annoying smoke, and no person shall use a muffler cut-out, bypass, a muffler without baffles, or similar device upon a motor vehicle on a highway. Illinois - Sec. 12-602. Mufflers, prevention of noise. Every motor vehicle driven or operated upon the highways of this State shall at all times be equipped with an adequate muffler or exhaust system in constant operation and properly maintained to prevent any excessive or unusual noise. No such muffler or exhaust system shall be equipped with a cutout, bypass or similar device. No person shall modify the exhaust system of a motor vehicle in a manner which will amplify or increase the noise of such vehicle above that emitted by the muffler originally installed on the vehicle, and such original muffler shall comply with all the requirements of this Section. North Carolina - (b) It shall be unlawful to use a “muffler cut-out” on any motor vehicle upon a highway.

Back in the 60s we would weld on 4 inch down dumps on each side of the engine and use threaded pipe caps on the outlets. I know not automatic but they worked good.

Got the new one before i even got the chance to send out the bad one. They even threw in some shirts and stickers.They also have a wireless kit you can open and close them with a wireless remote. Ive got a set with the wireless kit for my 2014 Challenger with a built 392 that has a 2.9 whipple on it. Its mighty loud ;)

I was just thinking the other day, "I would like loud pipes, but I would miss being super quiet when I wanted to be quiet. Wish there was a valve you could turn or something." And there we go, it's real. Out of my price range, but real.

This is great for when you care about your neighbors at 3 am.

I was listening to the sound and I started nodding my head. Enough said.

What an interesting design! I've been told that when older motorcycles are switched to an open exhaust, those old fixed carb jets need to be adjusted to compensate for the change in exhaust backpressure. In any car made in the past 30 years, fuel air ratios are adjusted automatically by feedback from upstream oxygen sensors. It would be interesting to watch how fuel air ratios change from open to closed exhaust, though I assume that won't be possible in the Fairmont. Nice job. Stay dirty, Eric!

Finally a big KZreadr doing a video on exhaust cutouts

I have a vacuum powered cutout and it's A LOT more reliable than standard QTP style cutouts as it uses air to push it open and closed. The first and second motors in the electric cutout that I used to have burned out in maybe a month or two while this new vacuum powered cutout hasn't missed a beat for several months. Plus, it doesn't leak nearly as much and even better, it was only around $100 off Amazon.

Greetings, Videos! German car tuners that build exhaust cutouts that actually bypass the last muffler (not the middle one[s]) and that works in such a way that the exhaust still exits through the same tailpipe, so there is an actual bypass that it gets routed around the muffler and back into the exhaust pipe.

Yeah we call what's in this video a "dump pipe" since it just dumps the exhaust right after the cut out.

A man with a plan can Jerry-rig anything. Great video.

My 2000 Accord Ex-V6 had factory dual mufflers, with a single pipe that splits near the right-rear tire, just in front of the mufflers. So I cut it, keeping only the left-side, after Y-joint. Then I installed a straight pipe with a splitter followed on the right side, by an e-cutout and the exit (a turn-down). On the left it used (several) reducers to get from 2.5" to the stock (left) muffler. Then I built a control system that tapped the wire for VTEC solenoid control (by the ECM). So it ran like stock, until VTEC. Then WFO, until I slowed, and it would calm, too. Some cars come with their own split personality, but we muffle them.

I would have done a lot of things different but I cant knock you for trying, and I really like how you teach people how you do stuff. I'm a qualified diesel mechanic myself and I also do alot of electrical work. A bit of advice, dont twist the wires before you put them into the connectors you want them to actually crimp with the plug, when they're twisted it doesnt grab as good. I prefer solder but that's just me.

Much easier than diving into the fuse box to make the adjustment. But, I noticed the butterfly valve was very robust; however, I don’t have any thing to compare it to but it was solid and seemed to have less points for corrosion or accumulation of carbon.

Are you sure you weren't looking into my bathroom window 2 minutes ago , were you? LMFAO, birds of a feather flock together I guess , Right?

When you said the screws on the butterfly valve could vibrate out I have the idea that you could use some threadlocker red. This is the strongest threadlocker and has to be removed with heat. This is the kind of threadlocker you typically use on things like main bearing caps and Rod bolts internally inside of an engine so it should be permanent and withstand the heat of the exhaust. If you were to remove or just back off a little on the screws of the butterfly valve and add a little bit of the threadlocker red before you put it all together then you probably wouldn't ever have to worry about the screws vibrating out. Just an idea, $3 or $4 for a little tube of threadlocker red that's cheap insurance. This way you would never have to worry about taking them back off the car and trying to repair them once installed they would be good for the life for the exhaust. Your work is excellent. Great video. God Bless You and Your Family!! Jimmy in NC....

When you flipped the switch It made me smile!!

They leak for a few reasons: no gasket on the butterfly valve and high pressure due to the Y joint always putting exhaust flow into the closed valve. You could theoretically help a LOT with leakage by having a valve with a gasket and/or also having the valve built into the Y splitter at an angle so that when it's closed the air is routed down the exhaust path better... I wonder how much back pressure is being added to the exhaust when the valve is closed due to reflection off the valve.

I think the butterfly ones are inherently more reliable - less likely to lock up on you.

So 2 tips- w/1 on ea side having valves. 1 w/o per muffler Ford uses set position settings w/labels for the varied positions from fummy closed to fully open. QUIET/NORMAL/SPORT/TRACK. Quiet is quite so. Track requires U to "Accept" a waiver of sorts on digital dash screen saying u wont use it on street. WHICH EVERYONE DOES.. NATURALLY. Has timer setup U can set so if get up at 5am for wrk.. u can set parameters for when quiet mode is on & then off ea morning automatically. so as not to wake sleeping neighbors/infants/elderly, ect. The Bullitt sounds so good U want this Active Exhaust. Its believed the GT350 Shelby intake tract/87mm Throttle body on Bullitt vs NOT on the Reg. GT 5.0 eng. IS what apoears to make it sound so much better than a regular GT mustang. So having a cutout from factory is nice.

My dad had the screws back out on his exhaust cutout last week. Luckily we found the flap that fell out lol. I would recommend welding the screws on the cutout flap or welding the flap to the rod itself so it won't fail ever
