- In this video I'll show you step by step how I installed remote controlled electric exhaust cutout valves on a 2009 4.6 V8 Mustang, including where I passed the wires and installed the remote receiver.
There are a few concerns about which way the cutouts are facing. If you look at 11:55 you will see they are facing towards the rear as I film the interior of the car.
FAB-B Yeah they’re facing the right way, honestly it doesn’t matter which way they are facing. The pistons in you’re engine force the exhaust through your headers there’s no way air is going to go up you’re exhausted into your engine because the only valve open is the exhaust valve on that piston stroke and it closes once that piston reaches full extension. These people in the comments have no clue. Good install bro. 👍
You right exhaust has a flow
I guess it's pretty off topic but does anyone know a good website to watch new tv shows online?
///M !!
probably the cleanest install ive seen yet
Thanks, did my best.
Nothing like the sound of pure muscle. Those Coyotes sure are nice, but the 3V takes it for me.
nicely explained. Thanks !
Now I plan on doing this to my soon-to-be-acquired 1971 Buick Riviera with a 455-4 Big Block..
You're welcome ! Great choice of a car the 1971 Riviera, and great choice of engine as well !!! A coupe of valves will make that monster sound awesome. I'd be very happy if you could show me how it sounds when you'll have done it ;).
MakeFix fuck yeah boatail
MakeFix if u put flowsmaster do it right after the flowmasters so it will be like a turn down it will sound fuckin good and that muscle tone
Thanks for making the video. You explained perfectly what’s involved in fitting these. And the before and after results are great👍
did this to my '13 g37 sedan. not alot of people expect a 4 door light grey sedan to be very fast but its fun to surprise people when you open up the valves and floor it lmao.
Haha, I see exactly what you mean ;¬) !
Great job. thanks for posting this .and for the ride. pretty country.
love that rumbling sound.
Thanks Paul ! Glad you appreciate the video, it was a friends' car and I miss that V8 !!!
Looks interesting. I was planning on a noisy pipe for my Jag XFR but this would make MOTs much easier and keep it less obnoxious around town.
It's a great solution in my opinion, and should sound awsome on the XFR but not sure there is enough space to install this model.
Did you dig a hole to work under your car? If so that’s absolutely genius and I’ve been talking about doing it because I don’t have any room in my garage for a lift because the ceiling is an A-frame so the car wouldn’t lift up too high, but I’ve always thought about digging the floor about 6 feet and installing a ramp style deck for the car to sit on
I made a video on my french channel to show more or less how I built it th-cam.com/video/BHna5sKKSKA/w-d-xo.html 😉
I've added2 cutouts to my vx commodore before the cat,hoping nothing catches on fire
Awesome job....love the sound of them opened up. 👍🏼🥇
Thanks ! Yeah the sound was fabulous !!!
Can you please link the parts u used?
I liked it just because he has a manual.
I hope you used some sort of a grommet where the wire passes thru the body. if not, the wire insulation will chaff and cause a short. if you don't have one, use a piece of rubber hose that just fits thru the hole and silicone it into place. if you do it as an afterthought, just slice the tubing to get it around the wire and run some electrical tape around it so the wire can't work it's way thru the opening, and again silicone it into place.
cool project. open exhaust sounds good on a V8. I had a friend that put some on his third-gen camaro that he was building to be his "street car". his cutouts were very rudimentary. no cable or valve to open and close. just a block off plate that you had to crawl under the car to remove. it sounded good, but they were such a pain in the ass to get to.
I passed the wire through a small plastic funnel to avoid any wear and taped the wire so it wouldn't move, but thanks for your advice anyway ;).
Indeed, it's not the most practical if you have to bolt and unbolt the cutouts to change the sound ^^, especially if you're in a hurry to hush up the exhaust ^^ !
Nice clean install but the y goes towards the back of the vehicle. You're supposed to split the exhaust flow. With it installed the wrong direction its basically just releasing back pressure when open. You'd get a much better sound and less popping and crackling on deceleration. Luckily they're bolted on easy fix, take them off 180 them and good to go guarantee it runs and sounds better. I've done a couple at my shop they are a nice cheap little upgrade i would recommend. For the people asking where to get them ebay and amazon they run about $50 $60 bucks a piece depending on diameter hope this helped.
Thanks ! You're not the first one to tell me that but they are not facing forward, I put on the right way but it's not easy to see where the front of the car is. Look at 12:03, you'll see they are open towards the rear ;¬). They were a little more expensive in France, like 80$ each.
The car sounds awesome! Also I think you are very handsome :)
Great video and very informative 👍🏻! I wonder if they make this application for a C4 1995 Vette ?
Thanks 😉 ! I think you can probably fit it on. better to weld it nicely though, not how I did.
Hi guys can this be installed anywhere along the exhaust? From headers onwards?
Hello @FAB-B can you put a link for all the different items that you used for this ? Thanks
+FAB-B Hey, nice video. Are you sure this is a 2009 Mustang GT or the later 2010-2014 Mustang GT. The interior looks like it's from 2010-2014.
thank you my man! I plan on doing this to my 2005 mustang v6 because California cops are asses with loud cars. love your underground lift lol I should do that too.
You're welcome ! It's the best of both worlds, the cops should leave you alone as soon as you close the valves ;).
If you want to see how I did that pit I made a video about it, it's in french but at least you can see what it looks like : th-cam.com/video/BHna5sKKSKA/w-d-xo.html
open exhaust on a V6... oh man, people are gonna hate you. lol
in my high school days and a few after, I had a friend with a little ford ranger and he cut the muffler off. it was so annoyingly loud. but it was never difficult to find him when he was driving (pre cell phone era). his favorite thing seemed to be to wind that sucker up in second gear and then just let off. you'd hear the loud scream of his little 4 banger all the way up to, and just a little past the redline and then followed by a long crackling and popping of that exhaust. it was so damn loud and he just loved it. another friend of mine had ridden with him out of town some where, and it was late and the unsuspecting passenger dozed off. he woke up to the driver screaming about the semi coming at them, but couldn't see it from the disorienting tailspin they were in. it was all a joke. he had driven out to the old abandoned road where we'd raced the 1/4 mile to see how fast our parents' cars weren't. anyway, he noticed the guy sleeping away peacefully and thought it would be funny to scare the piss out of him. so he got up just enough speed to spin his little truck around and it worked. my friend, the passenger, said it literally scared the piss out of him, but he took it all in stride. it was pretty damn funny.
HAhahha ^^, great story :D ! I can really picture the seens ^^ !
hey man, great video! How's the drone when you have them open? also, did you get a check engine light when you installed them? I heard if you put them too close to the CO2 sensors it could cause some havoc what do you think? I have a mustang gt 2020 and I just got a Roush H pipe and exhaust cut outs where would you recommend I install the cut-outs? I appreciate your time thank you!
Hi, thanks 😉 !
It was on a friends car and he sold it a few years ago but he didn't have engine light or other issues. I'm no expert but I would say that the further back you put them the better for reliability and confort, but I'm no expert. Depends also how much noise you want, the closer to the engine the louder it wil be 😅.
@@fab-b9818 thank you!
Why point the y pipe away from the normal exhaust exit? Surely you'd get better flow pointing the other way ?
It's not easy to see but the front of the car is behind me, so the exhausts are facing the right way (towards the rear).
I like it, sounds great!
Nice job and talk through, thumbs up and no welding needed.
Thankyou, glad you appreciate it ;¬).
FAB-B 👍👍
Well explained tutorial 👌🏾
Cool, thanks ;¬).
So what I'd like to know is, when the cutout is installed it will open up to straight pipe, but it doesn't block off the muffler itself so it's will have exaust extracted from both sections. It would be better if it did block off the muffler section so you can get more sound I've been debating this with myself for a while now.
It doesn't block the flow to the mufflers but exhausts will mainly follow the quickest way out. I can't tell you how much gases come out of each exhaust but you will have 4 exhausts with the valves open.
Nice. Clean install. Great road test sound too.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it ! It's not easy to share that awesome sound, especially when you don't have great material to film all that... I did my best though ;).
Nice job man, you did good work.
Thanks Danny ;¬).
Hi mate
I've got one going on my ttrs tomorrow , can't wait !
Hi, great ! If you make a vid I'd love to hear that ;¬) !
I also have cutouts on my 5.3 tahoe😊
What valves did you use and did they last. Thanks Sid
Valves that I found on Aliexpress. One motor failed after 6 months but was replaced buy the seller.
Where do you stay at man? I have cutouts that i want to install on my 16 5.0 but everyone around me sucks in installing custom parts.
I live in the south of France. You should maybe try and do it yourself, I had never done that before !
I think he put them back wards.Correct me if I'm wrong but air and water will get inside the valves cause their pointing forward?
I put them correctly, but at some point it's hard to tell the front from the back😉.
Nice!!! A crème brulée Mustang ;). Anyway, if condensation is coming out, that means gases are coming out too. I don’t get why you didn’t weld them on.
Haha thanks 😄. Didn't weld because I don't know how to and dont have the tools te do it !

What is the size of the cut out did you use for these?

Where have you bought the junctions for the exhaust? Thank
I like it. 👍
nice video! Can you close half the valve?
Thanks, yes, with this system you can have them open anyway you want, although you don't have a precise indication of how open they are.
Do you have the link to buy these??
Best installation well done FB-B. I have question can you do this installation on v6 mustang 2015? I am thinking of deleting the resonator and replace it with two electric exhaust cutouts
Thanks a lot ! Don't know how much space you have under the 2015 Mustang but you probably can, especially if you install them instead of the resonator.
FAB-B , the resonator is big and there a lot space, but my concern is that there will be excessive pressure in the center of the exhaust system, which might damage the cutout valve motor
Why would there be excessive pressure ? I don't think the motor will be damaged as the exhausts will always choose the easy way out, so if the valve is closed they will come out naturally by the rear muffler without much strain on the valve. That's how I see it but I'm not an expert.
Can i get a link to the cutouts?
If you install these before the CAT wouldn't you throw codes? I would assume yes and how would I go about fixing that?
Probably, I would'nt install them that close to the headers, you lose a lot of back pressure doing that and it's robably not good for the valves, but I'm no expert.
Is there a lot of drone because they are directly under the car?
Not so much, I was expecting more.
Bro can I buy this
I know this video is a year odd old but how did you connect the 2 wires
I can't remeber exactly, but I think I soldered them together.
any recommendations for flooding areas? is it waterproof or can get a damage if water reach motors/cut?
Good question, it's more splashproof than waterproof I would say. You would have to find a way to seal the connections, maybe with a glue gun (but will it melt with the exhaust heat ?). The gears themselves won't really be a problem, although if flooded I would check them out and maybe clean and grease them again...
the electric motors themselves should be fairly waterproof, given the environment in which there intended to be used in. just water from road spray shouldn't be a problem, but a periodic check and a little spray of lubricant on the rotating shafts would be a good idea. now if you're talking a full blown immersion underwater, it might be wise to give them an inspection afterwards. should be OK as long as everything gets dried out. I'd definitely give them a shot of lubricant after an incident like that. you'd also want to check all the joints and make sure everything is still where it's supposed to be. I had a 1990 Chevy shortbed truck in high school and one night after a flash flood hit our area, I came around a corner and hit a lake where the road used to be. it was like hitting a soft wall. I was probably going about 50 mph and decelerated to about 10 mph in an instant. the force of the water hitting the Y junction where both exhaust pipes combined into one pipe right before the catalytic converter separated. the catalytic converter was yanked back several inches. the exhaust was noticeably louder. I liked it. but my parents made me get it fixed.
that was a welded joint that the force of the water pulled apart. so joints that are bolted together will be much easier to break. just something to look out for.
is there any exhaust leak from the valves? I bought the same ones and they leak when closed
I didn't notice any leaks. Maybe you can put some high temperature grease on the sides of the actual valve so that it seals a bit more when closed, but I don't know if it will be enough.
hows the part holding up? im looking into doing this after the new california muffler law. also where did you purchase that
thanks so much.
I should have used some thread lock on the colar screws, and one motor stopped working after a few month but was replaced buy the seller. I found them on Aliexpress at the time.
Rae L what new California muffler law? I’m want to do this too.
So your car is a GT with a Shelby steering wheel, and white(could be Shelby, couldn't see them) guages?
It wasn't my car but the owner added a lot of Shelby features, don't know which are official or not.
@@fab-b9818 He should be happy with the car he has, and stop trying to make people think it's something it isn't. I've never liked people putting incorrect/fake badges on their cars.
Yeah I agree, but he bought it like that, to remove all that would have been probably worst...
From your Video , I got that we have to install it before our normal exhaust Box , So when it is been closed the flow goes normally to the original box with the normal sound ,And when it is been opened it goes through it with the high desired sound , am I right ?
Then I wounder how or from which part from the kit does this sound been generated?
Hi, what I installed are valves which do not modify the sound as such but simply allow the exhaust gases to come out before the rear muffler and that makes the sound louder. They are basically a hole in the exhaust that you can open or close. If you were to install them closer to the manifold the exhaust would be even louder and if you installed them just before the rear muffler it would be quieter (but still noisier than the standard exhaust).
Yup ,Thank you . I got it !
Please May you refer me to the link you have bought from AliExpress ?
The link has changed but you can easily find the same type of valves, they might even come from the same factory so just look for the right size and wether you want a remote or a switch, a part from that they're all pretty much the same.
Thank you very much and wishes you all the best !
You're welcome, thanks a lot :) !
Good job 👍 thamps up for y
What did you make the exhaust junctions out of?
I used empty spray cans which I cut, sanded and painted with high temperature paint ;).
Where did you buy these? Want to do this with our project 350z.
I bought them on Aliexpress, but you can find them else where. It's a very good idea for the 350Z, I already love the stock sound of it but with valves, it will be just fabulous !
What did you make the junctions out of? And how many coats of high temp paint?
I used empty spray cans (brake cleaner spray cans in my case). I sanded all the paint off then put 4 light coats of high temperature paint ;-).
+Anyone can do that ! How's it holding up?
With the heavy duty collars.
+Anyone can do that ! I meant like have you had any problems?
Oh, yeah it's holding up fine, and the owner is really happy with it, he drives almost all the time with the valves open ^^.
is there the same thing like this that could fit in into the kia picanto also, anyone can tell me thanks......
Technically you can install that on any car that has enough space to fit the system. You will need to find the right reducers to adapt it to the car's exhaust.
im thinking to get that on mine 04 legacy h6
Should sound pretty nice ;¬)
Should use exhaust sleeves, those sleeves are far too thin and will probably burn through after a while
Mmmm i don't know. Is it worth to spend money? Or just put straight through exhaust and job done. I imagine my next door neighbour would be confused. One day its quite next loud:)
It's worth the money if you want to have both cars, the loud and the quiet one. Your neighbour qould be even more confused if the noise changed form one day to another ^^ !
What the junction are made?
Empty spray cans (brake cleaner) wich I sanded and painted with heat resistant paint.
what brand are these?
Clarence you can find these on American muscle
Where can one get these
I got them on aliexpress.
How long did it last?
The installation ? A few hours but I'm no expert.
Sorry I didn't make myself clear. I was asking if the valves are still working ok or did they last like some months. I hear a lot of people complaining about their durability.
Oh, sorry ^^, one of the motors stopped working after a year or so, my friend bought just the motor and replaced it. It's probaly not the best quality but the rest is ok. I didn't have the opportunity to check myself but maybe it was just a loose wire or something easy to fix...
Thanks for the information! I guess that's the average durability of these valves.
Yeah, it is quite a hot and hostile environment, more expensive valves probably last longer though.
'to make more noise' ha ha ha
She can breathe
I noticed a leak ...how's that affect ??
You noticed a leak in my video or on your installation ?
At your car when you started it ! 11:28 seconds of the video ....
oh yes, I see, it's a bit of condensation. Water can seep out but not exhaust gases. With time it will stop doing that as the heat shield fabric will sort of "clog up".
Anyone can do that ! It's been a year I think since you got this ...do you still have it ? Still working good? Just wondering since I'm installing the same kit it's 129 usd on eBay ..best regards from Las Vegas and nice video thanx
Yes they're still working well. It's not my car though but the owner told me everything is fine, and he still can't get over the sound ^^ !
PS: The owner of the Mustang is actually on holidays in Las Vegas as we speak, what a coincidence !
Do you think it can go on a v6 mustang
Demetrus Brown Yeah man! any car that has an exhaust lol. you just have to figure out what diameter the exhaust is. I'm planning on doing to to my 94 Ford mustang GT, as well as my 2012 Ford fusion
Exactly !
thanks guys
Gains?
Not sure you gain something, apart from pleasure 😁 !
@@fab-b9818 hp gains. I’ve seen as high as a10hp gains.. it def feels like we’re going faster. I’ve heRd the exhaust is a restriction on these cars..
I’m considering doing a dyi cat delete.
where did you buy that
On aliexpress
FAB-B oh thank you god bless you
You're welcome !
how much did they cost you?
I bought them directly from China so they were about 180 $ with shipping.
Anyone can do that ! m.aliexpress.com/s/item/32238265931.html?spm=a2g0n.search-cache.0.0.XemOlr#autostay
Anyone can do that ! is this the kit?
Yes, that's it. There are a few different ones but they are very similar, just make sure to buy the one you want, remote or switch.
Probably so much louder in that car ahha.
Yes, much better now 😀.
You need to get them welded dude.
Not if you use thread lock or something similar.
nice 💪👍
Thanks !
Anyone can do that ! I have a 2009 mustang GT and want to put the electric exhaust and did not know how, because I don't like is the part, after seeing your video I gave a good idea was brilliant your work 👍🚗
Great, glad to have helped you to see what to expect.
Looks like you have leaks.
Seriously dude? You have a jack stand upside down?
not that I agree with everything he did, but he was using the jack stands to hold the pipe up after cutting. they weren't there to hold the weight of the car.
Lololol
that not a 2009. the interior looks like a 13-14 gt500
it's been modified by the previous owner but it's a 2009.
i think he put them on backwards put
Non don't worry, I didn't put them on backwards ^^. During the video I'm filming towards the rear of the car ;).
😮
There's a rats nest under shifter
What we performance guys.call a "Noise" mod. LOL
Do that in CA and you get $1000 fine and it must be inspected by DMV to prove it was returned to stock before they will re issue a new registration.
David Anderson how do you know?
Est ce qu'il y a en français stp?
J'ai fait la même vidéo en français : th-cam.com/video/J-SYPle4NY4/w-d-xo.html
Ma chaîne française est plus fournie en tutos ;¬).
FAB-B merci beaucoup j'aimerai l'installer sur une BMW série 3 de 2013
Je voulais aussi le faire sur ma 330i mais il y a pas autant de place que sur la Mustang...
J'ai vu des vidéos qui le font même si il y a peu de place mais en faite j'ai peur pcq ça touche presque le sol enfin il est plus près du sol et aussi si ça passe le contrôle technique belge?
C'est ça le problème, parfois on peut les installer mais c'est risqué pour la garde au sol. Pour le CT je dirais que ça passe tant que la ligne est parfaitement étanche.
This guy need a good saw blade, I cut mine in 4 sec.
I probably didn't buy the best quality blades...
Nice install but you put them on backwards.........
Thanks ! Don't worry, I put them on the right way, behind me is the front of the car ;) .
What the fuck is up with that saw saw
What do you mean ?
This fool really used header heat wrap as a gasket💀💀
Yep, and it worked 😝 !
It's a waste, money..time and did I say? Money..

You put them on backwards😂
Absolutely not, even though you can't see much from underneath. Look at 11:55.
anyone can do that...... lol
hey, It was my first time !
I know lol I was saying your name
Im sorry to say this but .... you install it the wrong way😂.
