If thats what he's talking about, he should pick up some of these as well:

Sorry, never heard 'em called that. Bypass I've heard. Don't know if anyone here has done it - some high flow custom exhausts, as you've probably seen.


You can still go with the "vents" if you need some extra HP though.

A couple of people have cutouts. Not in the mood to search for them, though...

I know of the apexi ones which aren't too expensive, but my question is what is the use of exhaust cutouts... I was under the impression they were to reduce bd levels for street use and were mainly used on cars which are regularly dragged

A'PEXi Exhaust Control Valve - $150



ps. some car manufacturers (bmw) include these from the factory, and buyers then remove them... so why would you want to add this?

i think the acura RL has something like this from the factory, It is used to control the exhaust so in the lower RPM ranges, the back pressure is increased casuing some torque increases.
