Cut Outs???

I am interested in cutouts for my LS3....However I was told by a friend that as most cutouts age they develop exhaust leaks and I dont want mine camaro to sound like a john deer tractor. So is this true or not?

I noticed a couple of threads on this subject by nobody really answered the exhaust leak question.

They are all roughly the same price. We sell them at 500 installed on the 2010s. If you need a quote shipped to you just let me know. If you would like here is a couple vids to take a look at. These are some good examples of the DMHs we have installed on 2010s.

If you choose to install these best is to have them as far away from the 02 sensors as cutouts will effect the exhaust makeup and temp which cause 02 sensors to report incorrectly and cause false lean conditions, surging and decel issues so PCM is forced to run a rich bias.

Keep in mind the head designs of today like a bit of backpressure to help extract exhaust from cylinders at low engine loads so another reason for cutouts to be placed in the back rather I have seen many installed up front

Take a look at the links I have posted and you will see where they are mounted for that very reason. And we have seen a consistant 10whp gain and up to 14whp with these.
