adding a cutout to 2otl catback
do you guys think it would be a bad idea to hack up a 2otl catback by putting in an e-cutout? I know this catback isn't made anymore so would it be worth cutting it up to decrease the value of it? I love the sound but sometimes I would like a little more noise.

You can always go back and weld in a piece of pipe in the cutouts place if you wanted to sell it.
And FWIW, the 2OTL flows outstanding. I just did a back to back test on the dyno a few months ago with a heads/cam car and that exhaust. We only picked up 2hp through the cutout vs. the muffler!

How can I tell if it has that silencer ring? I doubt it does since the catback is not the one that was suppose to come on the car.

If you wanna do the cut-out, put an e cut-out right at the end of the I pipe before it bends up to go over the axle. You are at least saving most of the exhaust. I have this set-up on my 2 OTL. The only real gain I see is that you just get the louder exhaust with the cut-out open, very minimal performance. But, it does sound bad *** with the cut-out open running at WOT.
