Re: [Chevelle-list] Exhaust bypass gadgets
Cool Thanks, I tried calling the company for a price quote Monday but only got their answering machine. I'm anxious to try them on my GTO because it should be an easy bolt-on job. If things go OK, I will eventually get 3 Y-pipes for the Chevelle and install cut outs on it. Thanks for the tips! Do you have any photos of the units or the install?

No problems and they are a lot of fun especially at a light with a stang beside. I have had no leaks as I put a thin bead of TRV black and it works perfect. Those guys at Quick time are great and will refresh the motors every so often for a good price also have fun

[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

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.
