I have a flowmaster 50 series exhaust SIDO on my 5.4 with a AEM CAI. Sometimes I want it a little louder. Would an electronic cutout work for me in my situation. Im assuming it would want it welded on and have a shop do it that way the work is guarranteed. Do they have a problem with leaking. It would rarely be open, and my truck is not a race truck, lol. I just want it to be loud when I want it to be, but quiet when heading down the road.

Anyone have any links?

 

electronic cutouts are avalible at www.jcwhitney.com but have a pretty expensive price tag

 

Yeah but that is pretty vague. I was hoping someone had a suggestion of one that does not have any problems with leaking. I dont wanna just buy the first one I find. Also what size pipe do we have.

 

I don't care for cut outs at all. I don't like the sound of them, and I think they are ridiculous. This is just my opinion of course.

 

I had a QTP cutout on my 04 FX4 when I traded it in, it leaked like a ****! I would stay away from them

 

Care to elaborate?

And FX4 Matt,

Did you like the sound of it? Other than the leak was there any other complaints?

 

I was very loud I did like the sound. It was nice to pull up to ricers and open it up and romp on the gas

 

Thats what im looking for. My truck has a nice sound at WOT, but its quiet in town or under normal accelleration.

 

What size exhaust pipe is on our trucks? 2.5 or 3?

 

2.5

 

So I just need to order this in a 2.5, then cut off a portion of my current pipe, before the muffler, and then weld this in its place.

 

Yep thats it, I had a shop do mine cost me $25

 

Yeah I plan on going to a shop, lol. Being that im at college and in an apartment trying to install this would be pretty difficult.

 

i have a manual one on my truck, i will be adding the electric part to it soon though. when i have mine open it sounds great imo. no leaking problems at all, i have it on right before the muffler. spent about 20 bucks at a shop to weld it on.

 

Well I ordered the cutout on friday. So Hopefully it arrives soon
