I see where you are coming from I guess but I really dont think it affects anything

Do the cutouts negatively affect the exhaust flow when closed? I would assume they do on ones I've seen that are like a Y, since the exhaust would create turbulence going into that dead-end. Anyone seen any better designs w/out this problem?

You won't see a design like that because I would think it would be scientifically impossible. A cut out by design has to allow normal flow when closed and when open then flows out the Y part. So sorry but no.

So I have to imagine that with the cutouts closed, it is detrimental to the exhaust flow vs no cutouts... That's too bad.

The amount of air coming out the closed cutout would be the same when its closed compared to having no cut out at all. The air might be slightly more turbulant but it won't hurt the amount of air getting out. Now when open, thats a whole different story. But I would never put a cut out with stock manifolds, I just don't think it sounds good at all. .02

So are you saying the increased turbulence is not a negative on performance? I would assume it was.

The air just needs to get out. The same amount of air is coming out even if it's turbulent, if it does affect performance you are talking about a very miniscule number, probably not even 1hp. Very minimal. What would have a greater effect is maybe the noise.

what about a shift kit for an auto i seen one for like $40 the other dat but not really sure on performance as to what they will benefit you
