We have tested cut outs on a 632 big block chevy, dual 4inch diameter exhaust, the car was our mustang dyno. This engine with 4 inch diameter exhaust yield us on the tires 844 hp and 795 tq. Car has Dyno max race bullet's. Same car with 3.5 cutouts took us to 781 hp and 722 tq. It definitely showed us the restriction at the y connection. Straight tubes 4 inch diameter 24 inches long connected to the collectors yielded 912 hp and 883 tq. Proof is on the dyno

Yeah I got some of the cheap-o-eBay cutouts… leaked and rattled…simple fix cured the leak and rattle…grease the perimeter of the butterfly flap get some permatex high temp sealant #81878 put the sealant on the seat where flap meets seat. Shut the valve and leave for 24 hours. The grease will keep the flap from sticking to the sealant…worked for me.

Thanks Joe! I totally understand the concern... electronics and heat, DO NOT MIX. Ha, ha... I'm confident they'll be fine, as they're right in front of the exhaust cans, and really only used when driving into and out of shows, etc... wayyyy too loud at WOT. As for mileage... it's gonna be a while, as you probably know, my engine is getting rebuilt. (I'm filming that process, which just started) See ya!

[@joshmiller1141]

I’ve had a hooker cutout exactly like this on my truck for about two and a half years. I just had to order my fourth replacement motor. Found them for $35 on eBay so I ordered two because that’s the cheapest I’ve ever seen them. The gears inside the motor strip out. Not sure why. The valve is always pretty free moving. I’ve even clicked it where the motor is below the exhaust and gets hit by moving air driving down the road. I get 6-9 months before I need to replace the motor.

1. stop using grommets... use pass thru cable plugs. 2. redic to use the plug connections if you understand wiring at all!!! Snip the plugs, run wire through pass through, run wire thru fuel hose on the underside to protect, solder connection, shrink wrap, and done.

I'm about to install these on my Mustang. Hopefully you see this. I noticed you installed these at the back after the X pipe, I was going to install mine at the front before my H pipe, you think it makes a difference? Also the lighter portion I was going to hardwire as well but there is a resistor inside as well as a fuse. Did you do anything special for that? Thanks

[@FastMonty]

If you have fuel injection you have to be careful how close you mount them to the O2 sensors, as that might affect what they're reading. Other than that, I would keep the resistor when hard wiring... it's still 12V. Have fun!

[@roberttaskerjr]

@@FastMonty it's a '65 289 hipo NA

So, still carbureted? youll be fine. If you ever end up upgrading to Fuel Injection, be aware too much oxygen could be sucked back through the cutouts when open. @@roberttaskerjr

im still a bit confused on the wiring. I don't like the cig lighter plug either and I don't have one so if i were to cut the cables and connect them to something, where would they go? otherwise great video helped alot! u gained a sub!!

[@FastMonty]

Welcome to the FMG family... so, after you cut the adapter off, the Red needs a 12V source. Black goes to ground. Finding the 12V source can be frustrating... you have to splice off of another 12V accessory, like your radio, etc... or wire from your fuse box. Hope that helps!

Hey Guy ! Stumbled upon your site and I like what you're doing. I know I can learn something from you and viewing your cutout installation I have. I want to install one of these in my 1986 El Camino. My question is the cutout motors and how to protect it from the elements for longevity. What about a metal shield that covers it ?

[@FastMonty]

Hey Dennis, not sure... all I can tell you is, make sure you buy them from a big Brand, like Hooker. They'll stand behind their products. DO NOT buy something from ebay or Amazon. So far mind are working great, but I only have about 3000 miles on them. :) The motors have a rubber boot over them, to protect from debris... pretty sure they're water proof. But, I've only driven in the rain once, by accident. LOL. Have fun!

Hello, I just ordered an Electronic Exhaust Cutout Dual System and a Roush Resonator Delete-H Pipe for my 2020 Mustang GT w/o active exhaust. my question is where would be the best place to install my Electronic Exhaust Cutout Dual System. I'm going to take it to a shop but they might install it where ever and I want to know if there is a pacific spot/best spot to have my cutouts installed what do you think. I apricate your time.

[@FastMonty]

Congrats on you path to making it loud. Depending on the size of the cutouts, you might not have a choice of where it goes. But, no, if you're removing the resonators, they'd need to be mounted anywhere before the mufflers. Good luck!

[@chasemcdude3781]

@@FastMonty Hello I really appreciate the comment. did you change your car's CPU to adjust to the cut outs you install like the gas-to-air ratio? what do you think?

[@FastMonty]

@@chasemcdude3781 No. But, you bring up a good point... if your cut outs are too close to your O2 sensors, it'll create some havoc.

[@joburgoof9404]

There any way I could install these with just band clamps and no welding? Can't find any others that conveniently just plug into the cigarette lighter and have a remote.

[@FastMonty]

Great question. Band clamps are typically for slip fit pipes, ie one inside the other. Since this would be a butt joint, I'm not so sure the band clamp could withstand the side loading created, and will probably start to sag at those points. Let us know if you find any other solutions! Thanks for the comment.

Good question... it's actually really simple with the "Manual Kit", in the description. You can cut off the cigarette lighter, mount the black wire to a good ground on the body, like I did. Then wire the power to a keyed 12V source. You'd have to get a voltmeter or tester to find a wire that has 12V, after you key on to accessories. Hope that helps!

Good question. I have no idea... you need to ask the manufacturer. Or, convert it to manual operation, like I did in the video. Good luck!

[@RALPHD57]

EXCELLENT VIDEO!! THANKS!

[@FastMonty]

Welcome!

Are you back purging your stainless welds?

[@FastMonty]

Nope, that's probably why they look terrible. I'll look into purging next time. Thanks for the comment!

[@colinrosenthal4296]

@@FastMonty I’m no expert but I think the inside of the tube will crystallize and the weld will be very weak if you don’t back purge the inside of the tube.

[@FastMonty]

@@colinrosenthal4296 I'm not an expert either, but I do know it helps with a cleaner/smoother weld. I just didn't have the equipment to back purge. Thanks!

Keep up the great content. So nice to see good poncho content on the regular. Hopefully my all aluminum 500ci 68 gto will be running summer 2023.

[@FastMonty]

@@colinrosenthal4296 Ohhhh saaaweeet! I'd love to upgrade to that one day. Keep at it, and thanks for being a part of the channel.

Nice Mike. Do they make a 4" for my duramax diesel?

[@FastMonty]

Ha! That would be awesome! Thanks Mike...

[@coloniall]

it will work if i only cut one but my car has two outlets

[@FastMonty]

So does mine.

[@coloniall]

My question was if it would work if I cut only one or do I need to cut both? so that the a bit aggressive is heard

[@FastMonty]

@@coloniall Yeah, that side would be louder. Not sure if that would sound "Good" or not?

[@blackburd]

Does it matter that you put them in backwards, I feel like the exhaust has to do a 180 to get out?

[@FastMonty]

Yes, it would matter if I put them in backwards... ha, ha... But, I didn't. Thanks,

[@JamesWilson-lg7bx]

Curious I read one of the reviews said after he closed the butterfly valves would open slightly and rattle did you have that problem

[@FastMonty]

Zero problems thus far... :)

What mufflers are you running

[@FastMonty]

They're currently the 2.5" Magnaflow kit.

[@d1egofigueroa]

I watched this whole thing to see how to remove it

[@FastMonty]

Ha! So, you used a Sawzall?

[@d1egofigueroa]

@@FastMonty no, its a different brand but your video will help me a lot to uninstall it, unfortunatelly it stopped woeking over time and its stucked open ive been driving my daily use car like that and overtime it has gotten annoying lol

[@FastMonty]

@@d1egofigueroa Ohhh, that's brutal. Good luck with the removal!

[@Khadjs1804]

Hi, what kind of switch is that called?

[@FastMonty]

You asking about the toggle switch? It's called a "Momentary" switch. It comes in the Hooker Switch kit. Hope that helps.

[@johncavanaugh6200]

Hi, Which Mufflers are you running?

[@FastMonty]

Hey John, they're Magnaflow.

[@johncavanaugh6200]

@@FastMonty Thanks Mike, It sounds great in your EFI test drive video.

[@FastMonty]

Ohhh... that's awesome. I love the sound too. FYI mine are 2.5 inch. The 3 inch sound even more impressive.

[@josegarcia-bz8ct]

[@FastMonty]

I'm sorry, was I complaining that I don't have anything? Not sure where you're coming from here.
