  • possible gains from CIA headers, 3" cat, and cutout combo

    I'm coming up on 50,000 miles, and am looking forward to getting cia headers and a 3" carsound cat soon. I also am looking into getting a 3" cutout to go right BEFORE the cat. I'm thinking the flowtech cut-out and QTEC electronic controler for it. looking at the custom auto y-pipe that CIA makes to go with the headers, do u guys think that the cut-otu will fit between it and the cat. w/o modification? also, with the cut-out open, what do u guys think I will gain rwhp and rwtq from the headers and cut-out, based on my mods now?

    With headers, y pipe and cutout... I say you gain about 15rwhp/10rwtq

      I think the cutout might get him close to 20 with the headers....you'll just have to see though.

        you would lose low end torque though.

          Not worried about low end, I have a 300 stall TC in my car. My usable powerband will be above 3000 rpm when racing w/ the cut-out open. normal driving, i doubt I could stand an open cut-out open all the time, which is why I'm looking at having a QTEC installed on the cut-out for a quick switch.
