Exhaust Cut Outs Give Your Vehicle a Split Personality

I’ve installed not one, but 2 exhaust cut outs on my #FairmontProject. The first cut out didn’t work out as well as I’d hoped. The second cut out, which I install in this video, worked out much better.

I will be making a video about the wiring and switch installation at a later date. Like I said in the video though, it’s really not difficult. All you need is power, ground, and a place to mount the switch. The rest is covered in this video.

Oh no, crimps, not soldered…

ah the hobo freight bench vice. got that one!

What is this exhaust system call I wanna do something like this

It literally sounded the same … fail.

Keel. Always wanted a set of these on my Rustang.

quick question for the smart folks in the comments. Would an exhaust cutout work on a newer vehicle (2017) as long as its placed after the o2 sensor? Or would it throw some other codes, or have an issue?

Good garbage 🗑 👏

Very nice sharing

now i need one

Your face when you switched it open! Priceless!

Cool bro😎😎😎😎

Factory truck engine tec
Most engine manufacturers have gotten away from soldering wire connections because the flux leaves a corrosive residual that causes a voltage drop later after time
I have quick time and no leaks after about a year

Nice!👍👍👍

Can I have this and pass emissions? Hehe

Young people do not seem to " get it " .when it comes to muscle cars . Just because you have a vehicle that is 40 or 50 years old does NOT make it a classic or anything more than what is was when it carried your grandparents around town. A Fairmont !? How embarrassing. A grandma's car is always a grandma's car. If you want to build a nice old car….. search for something worthy of all of your work and money. No matter what you may believe…… there are still Chevelles , T buckets , Gran Torinos , bitchen old trucks , Novas , and Challengers , hiding in old barns , in fields and in the possession of someone's Mom and Dad . I have been building cars since 1976 and just yesterday I found a 66 Chevelle SS convertible sitting in someone's garage .!Do it ….. but find something deserving of your style and ability.

Why not go with a remote?

Eric, really cool sleeper ford ,awesome..

Wonder if i could put one on my stock tacoma…🤔😏

Siiiiccccckkkk

Its louder closed

Does this set up will give me any type of horsepower or just sound?

Whenever I watch a good video and it has received dislikes… I like to imagine that the likes and dislikes are people split into two football teams. So, the score here today is 24,000 to 931. 🤣

🤔 This has a very 2020 season Super Bowl feel to it. 😆

Dang that sounds good I’m gonna have to look into installing one on my car

The old cutout leaked because of those muffler bearings.

I have had Doug's cutouts 6 years, work great

Your Muffler shop guy is right the Doug Thory guillotine style units work the best…..The Butterfly units with time leak….[Mine Did] Had a car in the other day….Yep they were leaking……Soooooo It's been 26 mouths since you installed the last ones…….Are they leaking now? Anytime something gets hit…..

i suggest tig if you want a low profile weld

Is this exhaust valve still working well? I had a motorised one and it died within 1 year. The gears failed. Prior to that, it got really squeaky from all the exhaust deposits, so was embarassing to operate on a classy sports sedan. I've since been running a vacuum operated one for 4 years. The only problem is the rattle when closed. Which is most of the time.

Anybody else get nervous when he starts stripping the shielding with that dull razor knife? Or have I just cut myself too many times doing it…

No lathe?

This is proof my phone is listening to me. I mentioned to my brother that i was planning to mod my car to do this. Look what i find in my recommendations.
