So, I've been throwing together a list of things to continue the build-up of my 244+T. I searched the forums, but didn't really find any answers to the questions I have in mind.
One of the things I have on my list is an exhaust cutout. Nothing fancy, no electronics or even manual cables, just a cutout with a block-off plate. The block-off plate has 3 wingnuts that unscrew to take the plate off and allow the exhaust to dump. My question regards loss of backpressure and its effect on a turbo. I know plenty of people have side exits and I've seen cutouts on other volvo's, but would there be any problems with not enough backpressure for the turbo?
I'm not really going for any super performance gain with the cutout, just a fun thing to have. I obviously wouldn't be running around with it open all the time, but when I do want to be loud I could be loud by unscrewing those wingnuts. So is there anything I need to be weary of before this makes my official list?
I have a 2.5" exhaust with a 13c +T if that plays into it all. Thanks
