Electric exhaust cut out install with pics!
#21
I had the mid and rear mufflers out for work a little while ago, it's not exactly how it would sound but it gives an idea.

The audio from a video like this doesn't capture the sound correctly, that is why I didn't make one.
It is more of a rumble and V8 roar, not poppy and tinny the way yours sounds.
Also, with no load on the engine in your vid, it sounds even worse.
Believe me, this mod sounds great.

Yes.
And yeah, cell phone mic doesn't do well to capture low end, and it "bottoms out" the mic, esp when when the phone's on the ground, which makes it sound a lot more poppy. The hollow sounding noise is also not part of the way it sounds in real life. The money on a decent mic could be better spent towards actually doing an exhaust but it gives a vague idea of the noise level vs stock.
When I made the video the resonator was supported by bricks and the rear subframe was out, so load is a bit tricky as well...
I read through the photo album for the cutouts and saw they were placed between the first resonator/muffler and the cats, so my video was a bit more off-topic than I realized, my bad.

They are installed right after the exhaust headers, no mufflers/resonators ahead of them. Everything that can muffle the sound is after them.

No one who has ever lived with that system.
The Ferrari guys hate not having control over the cut outs because they are vacuum operated and only open at 3-4,000 RPM.
Also, it sounds great at idle, partial and trailing throttle too.
Why is having full control and available range of sound concept so hard to grasp?

Vector,
I read before you use a switch to operate the cutouts, right?
Where did you install it?
I want it out of sight, and preferable not damaging or cutting mybinterior up.
Was thinking the center cubby, but it is not the easiest place to reach if you drive.
Was wondering if you had a better idea.

It is a good location: Easy and inconspicuous to reach, close the cover and it is out of sight.
I put my antenna cut off switch in the same location.
