Granatelli 2.25" Manual Exhaust Cutout Kit, Stainless Steel Clamp-On – 305522

Granatelli 2.25" Manual Exhaust Cutout Kit – Stainless Steel Clamp-On

SKU: 305522

Want a wide-open exhaust at the track without running it loud every day? The Granatelli 305522 manual exhaust cutout kit is the simple, no-electronics way to do it: keep the block-off plate on for the street, and remove it when you want the exhaust open.

Key Features

• 2.25" size: Matches 2.25" outside-diameter exhaust tubing.
• Stainless steel construction: Resists rust and corrosion, a good choice for daily drivers and wet climates.
• Clamp-on installation: Attaches with clamps, so no welding is required.
• Block-off plate: Closes the cutout for normal driving. Remove it to open the exhaust.
• No motor, wiring or vacuum lines: Nothing electrical to install or fail.

Sizing & Fitment

Measure the outside diameter of your exhaust pipe at the mounting point. If it measures 2.25", this kit is the right match. Running a true dual exhaust? Use one cutout per side, or choose the dual 305522D kit. Want a permanent, leak-free install? See the 306522 weld-on version.

Where to Mount It

Mount the cutout at least 18" from the cylinder head and any O2 sensor, and always after the catalytic converters. Point the opening toward the outside of the vehicle, away from fuel and brake lines, so exhaust doesn't collect under the car. For the best sound, mount it after the X-pipe or H-pipe. Because you remove the block-off plate by hand, choose a spot you can reach easily.

Legal Note

Many states, including California, prohibit exhaust cutouts on vehicles driven on public roads. Keep the block-off plate installed on the street and remove it only at sanctioned off-highway events. Never install a cutout upstream of a catalytic converter.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I open it?
Remove the block-off plate. Reinstall it to close the exhaust for street driving.

Does it need a motor or wiring?
No. This kit comes with a block-off plate only: no electric motor, no wiring and no vacuum pump kit. You can upgrade it to electric later by adding a motor; call us to confirm the parts for your size. Want to open and close it from the driver's seat? See the electric 302522 kit.

Can I install it myself?
Yes. This kit clamps onto the pipe, so most installs need only basic hand tools and a way to cut the pipe.

Will it add horsepower?
Opening the cutout reduces backpressure. Gains depend on your engine, headers and tune.
