Im gonna weld on one of these right after the manifold. Have a second 3 inch pipe running along the whole original exhaaust and then connect it right before the exit. So I can choose between 3 inch straight and no sound.
2 things: firstly put some rubber surrounding in plastic where you put the wire (or glue it) or you will get moisture in your car. secondly you shouldn't put it to battery directly - use fuse for it.
No it's fine. The receiver circuit board drawls a minimal amount of current when the button on the remote is not being pushed. Something like the same amount of current that the LED to show you're in park that stays on when the car is off. So if you left your car for lets say weeks it would be a problem, but if you start it every couple days there will be absolutely no problem.
I have a BMW 328i 2008 Automatic and I just paid a muffler shop $70 bucks to plasma cut my muffler pipe and TIG weld the exact same cutout in this video on. What they did was modify the pipe so that the cutout outlet has more ground clearance and faces away from any plastic lining on the bottom of the car. My car now feels like the sports car that it is. This is an awesome mod, so thank you so much for showing me how to do this. I spent $140 bucks and my car sounds so fucking amazing. Also the shop that I took it to said I would pass a smog test no problem. That's in California though, so i'm not sure about all other places. Some things I did differently: - cut the cutout pipe shorter so the flange just sticks off the side of the muffler pipe, this creates more ground clearance and angles the cutout exhaust away from any plastic that can melt - use epoxy and contact cement to seal the hole where the wire comes in to power the little 12v DC motor - glue the control box down to the plastic so that it doesn't shake around - wire a 12v fuse on the positive lead of the motor for short circuit and over-voltage protection. - further waterproofed the cutout motor by using left over oil o-rings, contact cement and super glue (i put one ring around the end of the motor seal and used contact cement/epoxy for a water-tight seal - and I put another larger ring on the base of the motor and super glued it into place)
Hope it helps anybody wishing to do this to their car and I hope mine lasts :). Thanks again for making awesome content, my car wouldn't be as nice as it was if it weren't for your channel.
Did you also drill through the rear spare trunk area to run the wire to the battery terminal? Also, does a 12v fuse look like one of the glass ones or the 2 pronged style? Thanks in advance!
Yes, I drilled through the plastic in the rear trunk area and filled the hole with epoxy and contact cement. The fuse I used on the positive terminal to the cutoff motor was www.amazon.com/DIGITEN-5x20mm-Holder-Fast-blow-Assorted/dp/B01I2MNRWK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1521072122&sr=8-3&keywords=1+amp+car+fuse&dpID=512pYfR-kIL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch the 1 amp fuse from this kit. Preferably, you would like a 12v 1 amp fuse, one that would blow at anything over 1 amp which would probably fry the cutout motor. (This is assuming that the cutout motor drawls approx. .8 - .9 amps) Hope this helps and no problem :)
Wow, this is insane ! Doesn't it hang to low and scrape? I'd be concerned about that. I just sold my BMW Performance exhaust and did a muffler delete w/ burnt tips a few days back 👌
ESG I was concerned about that...however it is pretty much inline with the rear wheels, therefor it moves up with the wheels whenever going over a speed bump or whatever. It's actually only 1/2" lower than the lowest point on the car...so it's not a huge concern. I love the sound of the muffler delete though!
This tutorial was helpful, but if you have an e46 325, the exhaust is dual all the way to the rear muffler. I installed a dual cutout before the second resonator if I remember correctly. Ground clearance wasnt an issue. Sounds pretty good too, I wish mine was a simple as this. I had to weld the cut out while the exhaust was on the car. pain in the ass, but doable. If anyones got any questions abiut lmk. And great job on the install, very well put. I stole your idea of drilling through the spare tire area. Wasnt comfortable running the little control brick off the battery as its a DC. Ive ran other little boxes like that with a DC and that would always crap out. so for now im sticking with the the cigerette lighter plugin. Ran the switch in the car, all wiring underthe carpet and under the rear seat. Wanted it to look at neat as possible. just like your install.
An interesting approach and twist on the old exhaust "dumps". It appears that you're still getting SOME of the exhaust to run through the stock exhaust {which I like), is that true? (as 100% exit out the cutout would be too much for my bmw), Great vid by the way!
hi there JDcars I'm from South Africa cape town I own a 320i E90 and I'm looking for a site where I can buy the vanos piston kit please seals gasket and metal ring thank you in advance Ali
Only downside: I would avoid connecting anything directly to battery since it's avoids/may mess up IBS system on battery. Pre E9x models usually doesn't have IBS but facelift models does.
Never too late to ask a question Jack! And yes. The best option on the market are Quick Time Performance electric cutouts. They're made here in the USA and are waterproofed for a long life. I've run one on my F30 through two winters with no problems! quicktimeperformance.com/
i have a question about these and i would appreciate an answer:) so since the cutouts have 2 pipes one that leads to the muffler and one that leads to the valves, wouldn’t the car still be a little quiet with the valves open since air is still passing thought both pipes? thanks
Dam at only 20 years old you bought a huge house, a BMW and an old man Mercedes SUV but still have to do terrible eBay exhaust mods with your skateboard lol Stop fake flexin and just own up you still live at home and mommy and daddy help you buy nice shit.

@JDCars on your F30 Me conversion you know you can wrap your PDC on the front and rear bumper same color as your car to get rid of the black holes. It will look so clean. Vinyl wrap will not mess up your PDC! Love your build it's my dream build 🔥
Why the 2.5" pipe when the stock pipe is 2.25"? Also how is the kit holding up? Why Evil Energy vs QTP/DHM? Do you ever add a turndown pipe later on or just leave it right at the valve?
Thank you Americans, that you are allowed to do anything on your cars. We in Germany have the TÜV, the Technische Überwachungsverein, a word, only Germans can pronounce correctly, do not even try it😂 Because of that, we are literally not able to do anything exotic on our cars, thanks😛
After you cut the cigarette lighter plug off, and put the eyelets on the ends of the cable, did you add an inline fuse similar to the one inside the cigarette plug? If that motor shorts it’s going to melt those cables right to your battery.
Add a fuse, install to accessory toggle to prevent power drain, practice welding it's an art , place cut out before resonator and when that cheap chinese electric motor burns out buy a quality QTP. But still props for doing things on your own instead of a shop.

That is a fact. You might just have to reset your check engine light every once in a while.
NCBandit or you just get your car tuned, adds like 50hp and you won’t get any codes ever!
Edit: when I say get you car tuned. I mean the ECU
Drill holes in bonnet and straight pipe it right up
2 things: firstly put some rubber surrounding in plastic where you put the wire (or glue it) or you will get moisture in your car. secondly you shouldn't put it to battery directly - use fuse for it.
2 good tips
Shouldn't this be wired to 12v switched source instead of battery ?
No it's fine. The receiver circuit board drawls a minimal amount of current when the button on the remote is not being pushed. Something like the same amount of current that the LED to show you're in park that stays on when the car is off. So if you left your car for lets say weeks it would be a problem, but if you start it every couple days there will be absolutely no problem.
What do you mean by “use a fuse for it” ??
a fuse makes sure you dont burn down your car, if something fails. Google "fuse".
Always like to see people going out of their way to share info with others. Good job! Keep it up! U got a sub!

LOVE THE VIDEO, very underated channel. You deserve more subs than me bro. This videos quality is insane
Thanks Nour!
:)
turn off the musif for the exsault
Yeah my bad
Music* exhaust*
Quick question, since you wired it directly to the battery, isn't the switch always on? Won't it drain your battery?
How long till u rip it off on a speed bump
Grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain’t!
"deep-throaty sound" lmao
I installed the same one my M3! (Dual Cutout) Check out my latest video!
That's sweet!!! Are they on the same remote control?

JD Cars Yes they operate on the same remote!
use a double adhesive by 3M to that CONTROL BOX.
Nice! But next time paint the muffler too.
Would my bmw still pass emoticons with it?

I have a very similar device in my Subaru, but I would never put a direct connection to batt without a 10 AMP fuse, it could be dangerous.
I have since added a fuse. Also...not that dangerous with this low gauge wire.
how is the seal tho, when its closed, does it keep the sound tight?
Yes
I like it man keep it up with the videos you got my sub
Brendan Butler thanks man!
+JD Cars anyway I can hit you up if I have any questions going along

ALOHAINStiiNCT Working great! I use it everyday!

Just do a straight Pipe from the downpipe
Use Velcro to hold the module in place
Maybe I missed it and I apologize before some throaty 12 year old disses my mom but what is the electronic delete you used on this?
so, so, so, so..... you say SO like million time, so it is so annoying so next time takeo out so, like please :) lol
The music defeats the whole purpose of testing the exhaust , its frustrating .
He should have spent his money on a tune up .maybe the car will start better.
Your under a car with a standard floor jack that comes standard with the car?

I'm not sure...have you checked amazon?
Quick question, since you wired it directly to the battery, isn't the switch always on? won't it drain your battery?
No, it doesn't draw power unless under operation.
Your ECU is connected to the battery while the car is off, but similarly it only consumes a minuscule amount of power.
Thank you for the explanation, that was a concern of mine as well
When you want to show the sound pls turn down the music in the vid. Thanks and good job
Ok will do, sorry!
Brings out dremmel. "Four years later"...
Only downside: I would avoid connecting anything directly to battery since it's avoids/may mess up IBS system on battery. Pre E9x models usually doesn't have IBS but facelift models does.
hey jd cars , how the cutoff functions? is it good? i heard some people have rattling noises , and for some the engine of the cutoff stop working....

The exhaust will take the path of least resistance - this is out of the cutout. Only a small amount of air continues and passes through the muffler.
