A 3" dp will give you between 10 - 25 hp. It is a very good mod. I would recomend maxxfab, as that is what I have, and am very happy.

I have a Needswings downpipe with a cutout. I love it, because my car is quieter than stock with it on and loud and fast with it off.

maxxfab has a dp that is interchangable, that's the one i have. it comes with a high-flow cat and a race pipe, and you change them out for whatever your needs are. the pipe itself won't cause a code, but if you use the race pipe on a s0 car you'll get a cat code. any stage ecu will get rid of this code.

Can't say it any better than PSI Chick, as usual.

That is the setup I run as well. Thumbs up, all the way.

Default RE: question about downpipe..

well the major issue i always had was the electronic cut out. the motors tend to fail, causing the plates to be stuck partialy open. this causes leaks and we all know how good those are.

i also have concerns about the ecu pulling timing with these cut out's. we all know that it takes the ecu time to adjust to new mods and changing conditions. well if you go from a full exhaust to a sudden release point, there's the possibility that the ecu will pull timing thinking that something is wrong. this has been shown to happen with the addition of dp's and catbacks if they are installed and immedietly put on a dyno. so it's possible that it's doing the same on the cut out. now i haven't seen any evidence of this, but i haven't seen much to the contrary either.

That makes sense. I can always do a reset if necessary.
