Default Question for those of you with cutouts...

Is it ok to drive around all the time with my cutout open? Someone told me that driving with an open cutout is like driving with open headers, and I risk burning a valve. So I was just wondering if it was safe to drive around with an open cutout all the time.

I drive mine around all the time with it open, I have stock exhaust manifolds and cats, never had a problem. Many passes in it also.

ditto. unless your cut outs are right at the motor you should be fine. mine is under the rear seat like most and its far enough back where you will not do any harm.

Who ever told you that was full of ****. I had dual cut outs and had them open all the time and never burned a valve.
