Hi everybody! I'm back and for the most part settled in to the new home (btw - a 3 car garage is nice!). Tomorrow is my first day back at work at the new unit. Hopefully everything goes smooth! Herb

Re: [Chevelle-list] I'm back...
Thanks! All I can say so far is this place is VERY different from DC. Everybody seems pretty nice and our neighborhood is nice, not quite what I had in mind, but it'll do for the next three years.

Re: [Chevelle-list] I'm back...
Thanks, and the garage is already full and there's still another car I have to get as soon as our townhouse sells! On top of that, my wife still has to park her truck in the driveway, but that's ok, it's a Ford. :) Herb -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 29, 2006 10:00 PM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] I'm back...

[Chevelle-list] Exhaust bypass gadgets
Hello, Any of you guys running one of those nifty exhaust bypasses on your cars. I'm thinking about putting electric ones on the car but I'm a little afraid to spend sooo much money to GET an exhaust leak (if you know what I mean). Summit has two types for sale: Quick Time Performance2- 2 1/2 electric units for $299.00 -shipping tomorrow and... DMH Performance 2- 2 1/2 electric units (without the Y-pipe) for $320.00 -shipping some time in November (WOW) Anyway, I was wondering a few things: 1. Are they any good (as far as quality/ leak-free) 2. Are either of these companies any good? 3. Anyone have horror stories or things to worry about? 4. Is there an alternative to these that are better? 5. I like the ability to be loud or not-as-loud. Is there any true performance benefit? I already have 2 1/2 exhaust on the GTO with Flowtech Warlock mufflers, so the bypass plugs are already in place. All I would need would be the electric solenoid units to be in the game. The Chevelle would need 3 units and Y-pipes to be cut in just before the Flowmaster 40's (which are already loud). Thanks, Steve
Re: [Chevelle-list] Exhaust bypass gadgets
Here are links to both of their web sites. Both have videos. QTP has a video of a foreign car blowing apart on the dyno. That always seems to make me smile. http://www.quicktimeperformance.com/QTEC/ http://www.dmhperformance.com/index.html Enjoy, Steve
Re: [Chevelle-list] Exhaust bypass gadgets
I used a set of the Summit pipes with the caps (#SUM-670136). Only took a few seconds to uncap them manually. I think the electric ones would be cool for a few reasons not really associated with performance. Performance-wise you still have the potential for a portion the exhaust to exit the mufflers by not making the turn at the cutout. On the fun side, think of the smiles you'll produce in your car the next time a rap-thumper pulls up next to you at a stoplight and rattles your windows or ricer starts revving his coffee-canned exhaust.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Exhaust bypass gadgets
Hardest part I would think would be aligning the motor of the cutout so you had room to install it without it hitting the floorboards or dragging the ground. Of the two, I like the design of the DMH just for that reason, it appears to have more adjustability in the orientation.
