Drove my car with the cutout open...

[Yaj Yak]

Washed the pricks Monday, un-screwed the wingnuts holding the cap on the cutout which is located immediately following the turbo downpipe just for shits....

car is stronger for sure, it was making more boost as well, so i turned the boost controller the single turn down to nothing, to make it make about the same boost again, but the car even still feels quicker on the same boost.

craziest part...

car is definitely drive-able without it shut... i passed 5 cops on the way home, its quiet as hell for an open downpipe setup... quite funny to say the least... it idles around the same level as my buddies catless/resonator-less trailblazer ss

once you get above 3k tho, the thing sounds like a jet taking off and is easily the best sounding 3800 i have ever heard in real life. although with saying that, it is still a fwd 3.8 v6, and still doesnt sound half as sweet as 95% of the v8s out there...

i couldnt stand my cutout open....it was cool to roll into parking lots w/ it open and the cam sounding all sexy...but after that, the whole car vibrated and the sound made my ears bleed id imagine its better w/ a turbo setup tho

RRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!

Sounds like that on a SC setup. Might get one put in when i get the flex on my DP repaired but i imagine it would sound quite a bit nicer on a turbo setup like you said.

W-body blower cars sound like ass with a cutout. Turbo for teh sexiness.

i'm assuming old ones?

turbo 3800 w/cutout = jet

 

[DanJ]

No it was a group of about 3 GS's. There might have been a GTP with them too.

 

[Euro]

It was probably the Got3800 tools

 

[DanJ]

...I think they were there that day...

on a s/c car, you get all out raw unmuffled sound. In a turdo you get a Muffled sound out the cutout, which is what you are hearing or Not.

wat.

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

the cutout on the riv sure dont sound bad

what sucks is the vastly different LTFT's between open and closed with the factory catback

fun to tune when you can only tune it loudly

i LOVE having open downpipe on my car. i would have to agree that sounds ohh so very nice, for some reason i love to hear the down spool of the turbo.

[IDAFC21]

the turbo definitely helps

 

[slowchevy]

sounds nice. =]

 

[32vMonte]

Man that sound of the turbo coming back down is the shit. It's cool too when the exhaust is quieter and you can hear the turbo out the tail pipe a little at idle.

 

[sp_dynasty]

my straight pipes sound great too! im planning on a turbo soon

 

[Fish]

NAs even sound like ass.

Open dump near the rear wheel... doesn't sound that bad Loud as phuck in the car tho.

Edit: If you listen carefully you can hear the rpm's stay sort of constant at the end while it was melting #2 spark plug Once i start running a really big shot i should be able to melt at least 3-4 of them each run. It'll be great, currently looking for spark plug sponsors.

s/c fwd 3800 cars sound like ass.
