one of my buddies is knew in the diesel world and was asking me about exhaust cut outs whats yalls take on that?

 

I like them. You can make it loud when you want and quiet when you don't. 4 or 4.5" is the largest I've seen though.

 

How do they work ?????

 

You put it before the muffler. With the cap off, the exhaust bypasses the muffler. With the cap on, the exhaust has to go through the muffler.

 

That one in the pic is a 4" Dynomax which is $90 at Summit.

 

Jared (jddreaden) had one on his 06...

If you want one but don't want to crawl under the truck, get an electric one. They have them up to 5".

 

I've had bad luck with electric ones, mainly QTP. Alot of guys are staying away from theirs. They have good customer service but it's a pain to take it back off and ship it to them and wait for a replacement.

 

any idea as to what the problems were? I'm guessing the motor stopped, but I was just wondering if it was a corrosion issue, heat, not enough power when things get rusty?

 

I been looking for one that opens and closes with a cable, but I cant find any that are 4 inch!

 

yea he wants one with the cable

 

I got a qtp 4inch electric cut-out and its before the cat, the controller lets me open it where i want i can have it at any setting. Qtp customer service sucks but there product is great. Sounds like a semi at wot.

 

I haven't seen anything bigger than 2" or 2 1/4" with a cable. I think those were old Mr. Gasket brands or something. My electric motor quit on my QTP.

 

Big Bear, just a side note here. One thing I have seen is that most of the electric ones bolt on to the Y pipe and replace the cover plate that you see in the picture Patrolman808 posted.
Cable operated cutouts
almost always seem to have the valve built into the Y pipe.
I myself am looking for a cable operated cutout, however having the ability to bolt the plate on in the event of a valve or motor failure would be nice.

Anyone ever find a 4" or larger cable operated one?
