Cutouts and LT Headers

**Numba1TA** · 10-12-2008, 02:52 PM

Just wondering if it is possible to put cutouts on a car that has longtube headers and cats on it that runs into a catback exhaust system. the reason I ask is b/c it looks like the cats hook up to the LT headers and wasnt sure if their is a way to put the cutouts after the headers and maybe just move the cats down further. If any of your cars have cutouts it would be great for u to post up pictures, thanx.

Not really.
Not enough room for cats and cutouts.

Besides, dual cutouts would probably lose power anyways.

really, why do you say it would lose power? and thanx for the advice.

Too much flow basicly.

It might gain power at the peak, but it would be down on power under 5400 RPM's.
Making the car slower overall.

so runnin 2 cut outs is a bad thing? i was thinkin of doing the same install a cut out to the header then cat to the cut outs and to the muffler...
so it would be like this

lt headers...cut outs...cats....mufllers

Usually cutouts work best I believe further down like before the axle.

This is like my setup, but i do have cats welded in after my lt. I have the magnaflow metallic spun cats. They are 3.5 inches at it's biggest and the piping is all 3".

best place to put the cutout is near the back of the car. in the tube before it goes up over the axle.

in the big bulge like where the rear seats are. you can put a single one there
