I bought apair of these while in the States, just picked up the car after fitting, wow what fun :D

Pretty impressed with the build quality on these, CNC'd from billet, they are from Pypes over here:

They come with a nice rocker switch that allows you to open or close them part way if you just want to be slightly noisy rather than fully open.

Now I just have to avoid the temptation to push the button all the time :lol:

It's a great security feature too as you can open them up after you park so if someone tries to take the car you'll hear them :D

I like the look of them, there's nothing like the sound of a big V8 through open pipes.

I have never heard of them before and I have just checked them out on you tube and they sound excellent. I bought a Magnaflow exhaust a year ago which cost a small fortune, I just wanted to get the best sound from the V8. Can they be fitted without intefering with that do you know - more thinking about the waranty...

Where does it go in the system?

Is it purely a sound thing (which is good enough reason) or does it add any HP?

The one on you tube had a remote control key fob that opened and closed the valve...

I am really excited about those, thanks for telling us about them.

Hey Howie,

They aledgedly improve performance as you are bypassing the exhaust system. It's the same as guys who run/street strip cars and have manual cut outs that they unbolt when they get to the track. Obviously the noise is a factor, I have a quiet system on my 67 which is great on the motorway as you can still hear the stereo so it's good to have choice.

As for fitting you would need a Y pipe welded into your system to allow a branch off for the cut out, you could contact magnaflow and see what they say.
