Cuthroat Cutouts are the Highest Performing, Truest Sounding, Best Flowing & Lowest Profile Exhaust Cutout on the Market Today! For more information go to... www.cuthroatcutout.com
Were working on it Ben. Were just a small business that's trying to get what we feel is a promising product out to the enthusiasts. Thanks for the comment!
It is a very hard thing to do, that is why no manufacturer has come up with the ultimate exhaust cutout. We are working on it. It will take some time and R&D.
Virtually all the electric butterfly cutouts flow partially out the butterfly while a good percentage still flows on down through the exhaust pipe. We call these controlled exhaust leaks. The Cuthroat Cutout puts all the exhaust directly to the atmosphere for instant exhausting, allowing the motor to breath more efficiently. It is the only design that can do that without turbulence or restriction. Butterfly exhaust has been around since at least the 1800's
This is hands down the best part in the cutout category. Great attention to detail! Sure it's a bit of effort, but seems like it checks off everything I need... the only thing I can think of is that it would be fantastic to have dzeus fasteners or something in the flange to be able to swap caps faster and easier, and that would put almost every naysayer in here to rest. I have zero interest in installing a cutout that's going to freeze up or not work in 6 months or less.
As far as the dzeus fasteners go, they wouldn't pull the inserts down tight enough to prevent exhaust leaks. Our design is based on two flat surfaces without the need for a gasket. Like the old Volkswagen engines.
Now I just want a system that enables this at the touch of a button. Totally blanks off the actual exhaust when you press the button, and sends EVERYTHING through the cutout.
I agree that this is the best cutout exhaust for the exhaust perfectionist. But the most inconvenience way to switch from cutout to non cutout. I don't mind sacrificing a little turbulence for convenience and immediate response. Great product for the person who doesn't mind making time to crawl underneath the car to remove or reinstall the cutout for perfect cutout. Sucks for lazy people like me who wants to flip a switch for loud exhaust
Hi blubag, many performance enthusiasts that run/test/tune their cars at a track spend a lot of time under, over and inside their vehicles getting them ready for track time and back to street for the drive home. There is definitely a power advantage to a full, free flowing exhaust. Also, I have seen many you tube videos of enthusiasts driving around with open headers/straight pipes, loud exhaust contests etc. enjoying the sound. The Cuthroat is the only design that can give full open exhaust with the least amount of effort. Granted, you do have to unbolt 4 bolts. No electric design can match our flow without turbulence/restriction/reduced flow. Butterfly valves have that inherent design flaw.
That's a very good and useful idea ! But I think with two electric motors that could seal very tight, you would have the same outcome with no turbulence. One inside the pipe and the other one underneath. I think this would work!
Any updates on an electrical one? I love the manual set up though. My truck is high enough to get under and switch out when I want, but having a switch button would be all the better!! Too many bad reviews of exhaust leaks and rattling.. Hence I think I'm going to go with this manual one 💪🏽
sigh...yeah, I guess. If you want to make noise sometimes and you're worried about every last horsepower on a dyno when your caped up, sure, this is a great idea and a fine-looking product. In reality though, your catalytic converter and/or muffler(s) cause way more back pressure or turbulence than a standard blocked off Y-pipe, and even then, unless your engine is significantly modified or your OEM did a really bad job designing your exhaust system, factory exhaust isn't restrictive enough for you to notice on an factory engine in most cases, particularly with modern cars. I have an electric cutout on my (basically stock) Toyota Celica and, other than the noise, it makes no difference opened or closed and my car has the factory cat, two aftermarket resonators and a flow master muffler.
Yes, depending on the application, the horsepower advantage will vary. We have seen Turbocharged rides go 5 mph faster in the 1/4 mile (on low boost)with our track insert. The cats definitely do cause restriction, so we try to help exhaust flow from that point back. Some of our customers just like the convenience of being able to have a true fully open exhaust (sound) when they desire it. Thanks for your input!
Just rather check it out or talk to someone that knows a lil bit about air flow.... if the valve is closed... yes there would be some what air movement in front of it... but at that part its at its highest pressure... back in the line where the split is... y pipe... the other side is free of no pressure... easiest path aint it... or did you do a flowdynamics test yourself on this
@@kevinjonker7792 i was looking into it for my land cruiser 100 series. However there isn’t even 8 inches of straight pipe to fit it. Oh well. Hope your product develops.
Great product. I own a Turbo 1.4L. So 3" is a bit much. Would you ever make smaller versions of these cutouts. say a 2.25" or 2.5"? That way there isn't a huge difference in pipe diameter when switching back to street.
Hi Llia, We had to make a decision as to what diameter to start with as tooling and production are very expensive. We felt that 3" would cover the majority of exhaust. We have had a number of customers install their Cuthroats on 2.25 diameter pipe with great results! It still flows well.
Sorry for the delay in answering your question. We have the design for that (vacuum, electrical, cable actuated). That being said, it takes a fair amount of resources to do the cad design etc. We are looking for a partner to bring this new design forward. It would revolutionize the exhaust cutout market. Thanks for the input.
It' 304 Stainless Steel, as are the bolts and lock washers. It's the best we could do. I believe they would survive the winters. Thank you for your interest!
@kevinjonker7792 thanks. Living in Canada I'm always worried about exposed bolts siezing up. Maybe I can put a coat or some rubber covers on it in the winter
If you were to add an electrical open/close system like all other valve cutouts then yea great … As is its impossible to use on a daily basis of as and when you want it activated …
Hi Jeremy, That is doable, the problem is you create a definite area of turbulence and restriction. At some point in that type of setup the exhaust is running into a closed butterfly, and having to reverse it's flow and find the open butterfly. Typically that can end up being a couple of feet of exhaust pipe that the exhaust is having to travel back against itself (restriction/turbulence) to get to the atmosphere. Plus it is very expensive. Thanks for the comment!
Unfortunately Carlo, due to cad design/prototyping/manufacturing costs, we had to stick to one size that would cover multiple common performance exhaust tubing diameters. 3 inch diameter in our opinion was the best all around size. Thanks for the question!
SI Ricko, Not following your line of thought. If you put the butterfly on the straight side, when you shut the butterfly the motor would stall wouldn't it?
SI RICKO Where do i find your channel cause in my mind youre right,,,, should be able to completely close off exhaust to mufflers and force it out the unrestricted cut outs... picture a cut out with the valve on the straight pipe instead.... Ive only seen one set like that but dont know who makes em??? i was gonna install 4!!!! just to totally seal off the mufflers and send it out the cut outs.....
Derek you will still create a lot of turbulence with that setup. But it maybe the best you can do if you have to have an electric motor design. cuthroatcutout.com
Hi Jeremiah, We actually have designs that do just that. The problem is getting the final design finished. As you can see on our website, cuthroatcutout.com, our work shop is small and yet my business partner, made all our prototype designs there. What we don't have is the tooling to finish the final sealing capability. it can be done! We hope to find a partner that can bring about the perfect adjustable exhaust cutout.
Hi Collin, I have never myself heard or experienced an issue such as this. There have been thousands ( if not hundreds of thousands of different designs of exhaust cutouts installed since the internal combustion engine was first designed. I wouldn't say it is impossible, I just have not experienced it. If it is a concern to you, then give it your best judgement. Thanks for your input.
Dear cut out crew I'm sorry to be bothering you like this but I've gone through every channel possible all American Muscle LMR late model restoration I talked to almost everybody you can imagine and when you first speak to someone that get you all excited that they may be willing or may be able to help I've tried to Make A Wish Foundation what they say that my brothers too old my brother is 49 and it's been diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder that makes his blood mutate and causes him a lot of health problems he's been a Mustang on almost to the whole life in his last wishes that he owns one more one last time so the church got together and got him a 2004 Mustang GT all they could do we go to a relatively small Church we wanted to do a coyote swap and give it just a little muscle nothing major maybe a 2012 coyote gen 3 with an automatic transmission in a air ride for adjustable suspension he's having a lot of trouble getting in and out of cars now and I'm afraid wrong timeline that's not going to be doable when we first started this project two years ago everyone Farris hope and he had so much out of but now I didn't disbelieve and we don't know who else to talk to or who else to turn to for help it's just one man's dream the only one of the best cars ever made a Mustang candy apple red what's a nice sound in motor stage 2 cams when do someone's come out with a supercharger that you'll actually tune I think it's Paxton and it has three different setups which mic should I do for someone we just want to enjoy that ride they won't see attract or strip he just wants to go to car shows because the owner of the Mustang one last time if there's any way you could help us or anyone you know that could help us we would greatly appreciate it we're out of options at this time we know Turn 5 is a big player in American Muscle and we really had hopes for them but was that they came back with was it was just not a project that they would be interested in what's killed his spirit and I think he's giving up but I'm not willing to if you can help us in any way please do you can contact me at 334-2221 2964 that's my cell phone or my email jody14u2c@yahoo.com....please help us

Turbulence is extremely restrictive
That it is!
Wont have eddies and turbulance quz if the valve is closed its a high pressure area... so it would choose the easiest path.....
Hi Luard. Air just doesn't sit still, it is always fluctuating/moving. The airflow down the pipe can actually act like a vacuum.
Just rather check it out or talk to someone that knows a lil bit about air flow.... if the valve is closed... yes there would be some what air movement in front of it... but at that part its at its highest pressure... back in the line where the split is... y pipe... the other side is free of no pressure... easiest path aint it... or did you do a flowdynamics test yourself on this
