I dropped off one of our off-road downpipes to our fabricator to add on the electric cutout option. I will let you guys know pricing and availability once he's finished building it.
Thanks,

I'm not familiar with this. Are we talking about the electrically controlled valve on the downpipe, to open it straight up and bypass the rest of the exhaust?

There are ways around that. I did something similar on my old EVO, and with a pair of solenoids and a 1 quart air tank, you can do anything. Boost actuated, locked open, or locked closed. Not to even get into ECU controlled, boost controllers, etc.I'd rather get a boost operated cutout setup like this... but on a stock turbo EBM it would just about always be open since its near impossible to keep the car out of boost.
One more questions. How would you tune for both conditions - stock exhaust and WFO?
Would you need to switch tunes on the fly?
Exhaust and tune are my next big purchases. I was thinking muffler delete and DP, but this seems to be a great alternative in a single item.

It's simply an electronic butterfly that you control with a switch to open and close it. As for performance, it basically removes all the back pressure of an exhaust system and when tuned, will improve performance drastically.So to someone completely new to the world of e-cutout downpipes... does anyone mind putting it in simple terms? Is it controlled by a switch or is it simply an electronic regulator that decides when it opens and closes? Is it dumping air at the DP when it's open and is that just for the aesthetics or is there a benefit from a performance perspective?
