Screw e-cutouts, save some money and cut some holes in your muffler!

my best guess would be that it was done to try and make the car sound "better", I assume its louder then a stock car? I would imagine it would sound like a huge exhaust leak

Wow... I'd like to kick the previous owner in the *******.

Probably cut holes till he couldn't feel the exhaust out of the tips anymore lol.

To be honest, it would make me a little nervous to own a vehicle that was owned by someone that would do that.
They obviously were a hack and didnt know much (at least automotive wise for sure)
Hopefuly they didn't own it for long. haha
