Is this just the best way to do cut outs? :dontknow:

I don't think those are cutouts dude, that sounds like a totally stock Viper.

 

[BurntRubber]

sounds stock to me

 

[MG42pillbox]

did you see the setup underneath? Am I losing it...

 

[HDVIPER]

yep, totally stock.

 

[cobraken]

Well it's not stock. I haven't seen that configuration before but may be a modification of a european stock exhaust.

Nope it's ain't stock, well.... maybe the motor, but the exhaust is aftermarket and has cut-outs as he is opening them and closing them if you can hear it, as well he is saying in German when he is doing so. I can't believe how small a pipe it is though. Looks like 2" maybe 2 1/2"? My 3" looks huge compared to that??:dontknow:

 

[HDVIPER]

REally? I didn't see the cutouts.... hmmm, let me watch it again...

 

[HDVIPER]

I stand corrected!! I didn't look closely at the pics, but that's very wierd how they ran that. However, I can't really tell when he opens it, or at least it doesn't sound any different, to me at least. Wierd.. :dontknow:

I think the cutouts are in the H-pipe that crosses over the driveline. Then if you look at the rear of the car by the back bumper you'll see two pipe pointing pretty much straight down. With a good audio system and paying attention when he says open which is Geoffnet and closed shich is Geschlossen in German you can hear. You can hear the hollow efect when closed and more an exotic sound when open. 20 seconds in they are closed , 30 seconds in he opens them and you can easily hear the diff. Closed sounds like a hard rush of air blowing and open has the exotic tone. He then takes off with them closed and it sounds like a turbo just blowing air out the exhuast , like a whoosh. Then he takes off with them open and Growl!

 

[HDVIPER]

Yeah, that is a trip how they did that. (run the exhaust over the driveline and then have it pointing straight down) I've watched this thing 5 different times and still can't tell. lol oh well, I trust you! I think that's a ton of work to do for cutouts and very little difference in sound, but to each his own. :dontknow:

You'd have to hear a car or truck with cut-outs to understand. They do make a hell of a difference. NOt neccesarily power wise but rather exhuast note and tone. It basically let's half go through the muffler and half stright out the pipe.

The thing is, is that I have heard them before and seen them before. Usually though they "cut out" right behind the headers and dump straight out. Not go through a whole lotta shit (like going over the driveline) to get out, if you know what I mean. It just doesn't make any sense as to why he would do it like this. I guess that's what this thread is all about! :burnout:

That car sounds like complete shit, Or it's that camera.
