a electric cut out is something u can weld along ur exhaust somehwere and it bypasses out through the cut out instead of along the whole exhaust. and with the electric ones u can just push a button to open and close it. and i have loud mouth with a cut out and i love it

It won't make the exhaust quieter. It gives you the
option of making it bugger loud and freer-flowing.
If you still have stock cats then expect minimal gains,
the cats are a significant restriction and I saw only
a few lb-ft of of torque and only at the top end.
But you can't overlook the amusement value.
Many posts here about cutouts including my install
and "poor man's dyno" results.

I think i'm gonna go ahead and get the electric cut out. I dont plan on doing any more exhaust modifications. Definately not headers. If anything else, it'd be a catback. I'd like to wire the switch up to where the traction control button is supposed to be located. I dont have it, so it'd be a perfect spot to place the cutout switch.

Take your ash tray out, drill a hole in the dish tray, and stick your switch in there...if it wont fit then im either gonna change the switch to a smaller one, or just remove the tray all together and make a custom holder for it. This way i won't have to make any holes in my dash, or ruin the car. I plan on Keeping my car as less destroyed as possible. One day they might become a collectors you know!

I had the first DMH prototype electric cutout since 2000 and my switch is mounted there the whole time. Along with 2 LED lights, RED for closing. GREEN for opening.
This way I can see what lit up without looking at the switch while driving.

Thanks for the pic marine. I'm planning on getting the DMH as well. I'd also like to know how these go over with inspections. I would think that as long as it was closed when you took it in, it'd be okay. I'm not sure how strict my state is. I know you have to have cats here.
Another thing...would it be possible to install the cutout before my cat, in order to gain slightly more power?
thanks!
