Brennan Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 So I finally got around to installing my exhaust cutouts on my 17 3.0 Driver's Package Z, and now it has the rumble it deserves at the push of a button. Sounds a bit exotic if you ask me... Check this link for an audio file of it shifting at WOT: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3fbz9fwoghlu25w/2017 Lincoln MKZ Tuned with Cutouts.mp3?dl=0 The best thing about it is if you want a quiet car again, just push the remote button and silence! I'll upload some pics if anyone is interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brennan Posted August 19, 2018 Author Share Posted August 19, 2018 You can see the blue vacuum lines, they go from each cutout to merge into one line, then the vacuum pump is in my trunk beside the spare tire. Open cutouts add enough rumble and pop to make it fun, definitely not obnoxious levels of sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airflow Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 This is awesome! Any pics of where you mounted the switch inside the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKZMark Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 It sounds like it's bouncing off the rev limiter or stuttering - is that right? Not sure what I'm hearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No switch, just remote key fob buttons to open and close cutouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what I'm hearing. I've put 275/35r19 Michelin Pilot Sport 4s tires on the OEM rims and a rear motor mount, but the car still spins at redline in 1st gear. You are hearing the car engaging the rev limiter due to this tire spin at redline. If the car is cold, and you shift under power from 2nd to 3rd, you get a DSG-like burp noise too. I have never heard a North American luxury car sound quite like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrecho Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I know this is an old thread, but have you had any leak by over the years and do you have a parts list for the cutouts and pump you used? Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
