Boost activated cutout

Has anyone here tried these cutouts https://loudvalves.com/ or is it better to go electric cutout, these seem pretty simple and are activated on Boost pressure Thanks

I've seen these before and it was a concern that they would leak. I am researching cutouts for my agp setup now.

I have these on my AGP kit and they work as advertised. I picked up 50 or so HP in the midrange.

That is pretty good 50HP for under 500$ I am just worried about leaks it does say they have reports of small leaks but it is not noticeable I just like the simplicity of them I also saw a cheapo version on alibaba for 35$ a piece which I am sure are junk

I was going to something similar using some eBay turbo wastgates. I never got around to it. but I think its same idea. just wanted it for the extra power since I don't have a 3" exhaust.

This is why I went with the loudvalve, I am 2.5 inch exhaust and 3" when under boost

I just installed 3 inch exhaust on my agp kit and definitely noticed a bit more lag and power loss. I thought about these or electric cutouts

I should say I was open downpipes before the 3 inch exhaust. I think the xpipe and chambers cause to much turbulence

I have have a 3" exhaust and just recently did a muffler delete. I notice the turbos spool faster for sure. I had to decrease the gain in my eboost to keep from over boosting.

Do you have a xpipe or is it true dual

Get rid of those chambers on the SW exhaust. That's why i didnt go with it. I called SW and they specifically told me they are there to reduce sound.

I don't want drone that's why I'm hesitating. I want to take it on trips and cruises without being annoying.
