For automotive enthusiasts looking to enhance their vehicle's exhaust system, Granatelli Exhaust Cutouts provide a perfect solution. These innovative devices allow you to switch between a tame, street-legal exhaust note and a full-throated racing roar with ease. Granatelli offers two types of exhaust cutouts: manual and electronic, each with its own set of features tailored to different preferences. Whether you want manual control over your exhaust or the convenience of an electronic system, Granatelli has you covered. Let's explore the benefits and features of each type to help you decide which is best for your vehicle.
The Granatelli Manual Exhaust Cutout Systems offer the flexibility to switch between a standard, OEM exhaust sound for daily driving and a more aggressive, race-ready tone when the situation calls for it. These cutouts are manually controlled, requiring you to remove a 3-bolt block-off plate underneath the car to open or close the exhaust valve. This gives you direct control over your vehicle's exhaust flow, allowing you to fine-tune the sound and performance based on your driving needs.

Granatelli Manual Exhaust Cutouts are perfect for those who prefer hands-on control over their vehicle's exhaust sound and performance. With robust materials and flexible installation options, these cutouts offer both durability and customization.

I just bought a 2025 Subaru BRZ.
I’m interested in having a header system installed that can be switched between full headers directly out and back to the stock cat – muffler duel exhaust.
If you could tell me more about how I can achieve this…
I’m inspired 😉
Curious where the direct headers will exhaust out…
like, under the car?… is fumes an issue?
Hi Roger,
Congrats on the new BRZ, and it’s great to hear you’re looking to unlock more sound and performance right from the start. What you’re describing is exactly where exhaust cutouts come into play, and the Granatelli cutout systems are a smart solution for what you’re trying to achieve.
To give you the flexibility of switching between a full header-to-stock exhaust and a more aggressive, uncorked setup, you’d install electric exhaust cutouts just after the headers or in the mid-pipe section before the catalytic converters. When the cutouts are closed, exhaust flows through the stock catalytic converters, resonators, and mufflers just like from the factory. When opened, the cutouts divert exhaust gases out of a bypass pipe, typically venting just underneath the vehicle — usually right beneath the floor area around the transmission or just behind it, depending on space and layout.
As for fumes, yes, they can be an issue if the cutouts are opened while idling or driving slowly, especially in enclosed areas. Because the exhaust exits under the car and ahead of the normal tailpipe location, there’s a risk of fumes entering the cabin at low speeds or when sitting still. When used responsibly and only at speed or in well-ventilated areas, it’s generally not a concern, but it’s worth keeping in mind for safety.
For your BRZ, you’d want to pair a quality header system with cutouts that can be operated from inside the car. This gives you the best of both worlds: stealthy daily driving and aggressive sound and performance when you want it.
