Pics of installed cutout?

You can do one where ever you want but the further back you go the less effect it will have on HP.

Ive heard the opposite, the further back the better.

yeah, i heard that too. plus i cant before my cat, when i did my headers i welded the collector to the cat. my cat is gutted and strait piped through so thats not a big deal, i was woundering is there enough room before that bend?

I'm not sure what the correct formula is but it similar to your muffler choice. A high flowing muffler will increase horsepower but usually they don't add much torque if any. I would thinki the placment of the cut out may add more torque at one spot and more HP at another.
However I may be wrong.
IMO people confused HP or Torque too Often. I would rather have a car with 300 ft lbs of torque and 100 HP vs a car with 300 HP and 100 ft lbs of torque.

all i know is open header cars run like crap. I know if i do cutouts on my true duals Im going to put them after the x-pipe so i still retain the scavenging effect and thus get the maximum performance.

hey brian not to get off subject but how do you like your cobalt? Did you buy or is it a lease? I am seriously thinking about one by the end of summer.

lol joel said, he prob has a monster hp car. so its better open headers. a stock car with open headers is a bad idear

Wait a second...we covered that...oh...A YEAR AGO.

Who cares, I was just showing my setup...and I had no problems with it.

I bought my cobalt and I love it. It is very quick and what I love most is how great it handles. I do have a few small complaints but nothing major.
I do miss rear wheel drive!!

In some ways the camaro was more practical because the hatch opened.
Would I buy it again?....in a heart beat! However I still dream about owning a syclone/typhoon.
