"cutout" is short for exhaust cutout...........you can have mechanical or electric cutouts. Basically they are welded in the exhaust system; one on each pipe and you can open or close them to bypass the mufflers and/or catalytic converter(s). I have e-cuts on my SRT-8 and with the push of a button can go from Cadillac quiet to obnoxiously loud in 3 seconds.

damn... with what mods?
these are exciting times indeed!
EDIT: just noticed the attached pic... with the front grille removed, is that a factor in improving your 1/4 mile time? Not looking at this from heat soak perspective...

Re: Aluminum Intake Manifolds for srt6
I guess I am confused. What are you saying the H/P increase was at the rear wheels with the addition of the New Manifolds? What do you truely accreadit this increase to? Isn't the pressure eaqual whether it has a small or a large manifold? Is the size of the tubes from the super charger bigger? And lastly would you expect performance increases with these manifolds if one didn't change the pulley for the S/P?
Thank you,

cai, intake mani's, asp pulleys, exh cutouts, and mt et streets
i pulled the grill since we were so close to breakign the et record. i "think" it helps btu i may be wrong and we may be increasing drag by doing so

I pulled my grille the other night at the track for one pass to see if there was any difference..................on that pass I trapped 1mph faster than the run with it in place.
Re: Aluminum Intake Manifolds for srt6
i need to pull them back off the car so we can start the changes for the next set.
we havent broken anything yet on the car
other then the occassional one wheel peel durrign the burnout the drivetrain is holding up great, we just got in with quaife so ill have to see how close their c32 lsd is to fitting ours
