Forced Induction SystemsDetailed discussions regarding cold-air intake systens, superchargers, turbo chargers, and other induction systems for your vehicle.
This is a discussion thread titled "Performance question", within the Forced Induction Systems forum, part of the Technical & Vehicle Assistance Forums category.
I am a big fan of noise. I am from Kentucky and we dont have emissions test here and I am trying to get the most out of these trucks. Plus when you have a dyno in your back yard you like to try things. I have had many camaros and cutouts were always one way to get a little more for the money. I want to see just how fast I can get in the quater mile before I go with the nitrous and so on. I already have a hooker exhaust and going with the K&N Intake and throttlebody spacer. I am working on a few other things as well. I am just one of those guys who is on the performance end of things. I want to be the first double cab in the low 13s if possible. So any help is greatly needed.
Could possibly be the funniest post of 2007.
Definately the first person I have heard of that has a dyno AND is asking where to cut holes in his exhaust for performance.

...classic.
Kinda just wanted some feedback and maybe some input from other people I didnt say i didnt know where to put them just trying to see if anyone else has tried them. Anytime you want to test me on cars let me know. Or better yet ill put you in my 10sec camaro and watch you sh!t your pants. Bet you cant even change your own oil. So if you got the balls try me!
Alot of guys on here got the balls to run that jaw but when push comes to shove they tuck there tails and run. You guys know who you are. Anyone else want to be a smart a$$?
If these beasts act in any way similar to the Hemi, get the cutouts. They provide excellent gains in the 1/4 mile on the hemi. Plus when you want it quiet all you need to do is flip a switch!

I say try it and see what happens. I would love to do this myself but don't have the time nor money atm. As someone else mentioned, I'm sure much larger gains would be seen under a force induction set up. But what the hey give it a shot, may be just what the 5.7 needs. Good luck and please post pictures/videos.
PS ignore the a--holes
On the 5.7 where would you put cutouts in the exhaust. Im thinking right between the cats, what do you guys think?
I wouldn't try that myself, but if you're willing to be a guinea pig, try installing the cutouts between the cats. Of course you'll be voiding your emissions warranty, but if that doesn't matter to you I'd say go for it!
