New Project: Electric Exhaust Cutout

rominun · 08-31-2017, 12:37 PM

Told you it was a 3 inch

Hopefully you get the wiring done soon. I routed mine up the gas tank to under the rear seats. Then to the rear power outlet.

Definitely appreciate the help man haha the OEM pipe is less than 3" but it worked out because the cutout was able to slip over the pipes and adapt to the bend a little better. I also appreciate the input on the power routing, I'll follow the same route as you but I'm going to send it all the way to the glovebox and use a fuse tap. I'm probably going to connect my dashcam and this to it while I'm in there to get rid of some of the visible wiring in my car. Hope to do it tomorrow!

It's coming right along. Hope you will be making a video with sound for us to hear.

No worries man. I had to figure it out myself and had to guess on everything lol. In the future, I'm going to run the wires to the battery tray and do an inline fuse because I dot feel like wiring behind the fuse box in that tiny area.

Ohh yeah and no resonator. I just did a manual swap and will be trying to setup 2 step so I can blow the 2nd set of cats out.

Too bad my 2 step doesn't work

Been talking with Jon at BMS trying to figure it out

Finally finished the cutout, made a DIY, took pics, and a couple videos! All details in this DIY thread: http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showt...9#post22336099

And here are a couple quick videos of the setup, I'll make another with some better footage of the audio at some point.

Sorry for bringing up an old thread but I was wondering if you ever ended up doing this? I'm looking to do the same thing myself
