Is a cutout enough exhaust flow for a 75 shot of nitrous? I guess I'm trying to find a cheaper way instead of buying a full exhaust system. I would just manually open the cutout when I'm ready to use the nitrous. Also I want to keep my stock muffler on so I look stock. Would this work?

 

Have you replaced all upper exhaust with a Y-pipe, or do you have the stock pre-cats still installed?

If you do, then spraying through those pre-cats could be pretty much a waste of time and nitrous......

If you have a full y-pipe, then a cutout would probably help you.. 5 hp is still 5 hp..

 

agreed, if you put the cut out before your cat but after your two sections come off your manifolds, that and you wanted to keep your stock cat back, I really think that would be a sweet sleeper set up, although it would be hella loud when you spray, even when you didn't spray but you get what I am sayin.

 

I removed my Cat, and put a straight pipe with a cutout on it, n/a you loose low end, but on nitrous its bananas. lol. wit nitrous u wanna get exhaust out as quick as possible. i think it would even lower EGT's a bit, no?

 

If it flows better yes lower EGT's

 

Cool just the answer I was looking for. Looks like I know what my winter project will be.

 

Exactly what I'm going for. It wouldnt be open until I got to the line. I'd like to see the look on peoples face when I rev up my "stock" automatic max with it open.

 

I may do it the way you did with the test pipe. Anybody think it would work if I put it at the end of my ypipe and keep my high flow cat?

 

a cutout with juice will give better top end pull and a huge boost in torque.

 

ofcourse it would work. as long as its before the cat and not after.

 

Ok one last question does anybody have a link to good cutout? I remember aaron92se posted a link of one a while back but I dont have it anymore.

I got mine from summit. click here

 

I have had the Mccord Power Plate for 3 years now. It's very common for this one and the Quicktime cutout to break if it ever smacks the pavement. I believe mine hit the pavement and it snapped the motor.

So, I called Keith at Mccord and he was very nice. He sent me a new motor and said I could rebuild it myself. Just two screws and it's done. I was able to replace the motor and get my electric cutout up and running again for only $25 shipped!

I am happy I didn't have to buy another complete setup! But the quality of Mccord's power plate is just as good as Quicktime! Many people have confirmed this on other forums. Since Mccord is cheaper and I KNOW they have great customer service, I went with them.

I can't say anything about Quicktime's customer service.

 

Thank you all very much for all the help. I decided to order the cutout today from mccord. And I'll be order my nitrous system soon. I love maxima.org.

 

don't cheap out when using nitrous, u'll end up paying for it

 

How is buying a cutout being cheap bout nitrous? i think its a smart move. leave stock catback on, then flip of a switch open cutout and spray.
