Default Electric Cutout installed with powerstick

Hey guys, I finally installed my electric cutout with the powerstick from classicchambered.com.I got the 18" in length with 3" all the way through. I haven't had the chance to make a sound clip, should have it by the end of the week. I love the sound and it has that throaty sound to it too. I kept my slp mufler which is cool cause when I close the cutout it goes back to stock and when opened it sounds like an aftermarket exhaust instead of just a cutout. Plus the girlfriend doesn't like it when its really loud so I close it when she's in the car.

I had the mufflershop shorten the open pipe part because I was having clearence issues. They did an good job cause now I'm not scraping over speed bumps. Below is a picture of what it looks like, let me know what you guys think. And I'll have that sound clip soon.

I am curious about these, how hard was it to do the wiring aspect of the mod? where and how did you end up positioning the switch in the car? If you could take a couple more photos I would appreciate it! You can post here or PM if you'd like

Yeah for sure nothing beats a pure cutout. But I've heard my friends and its pretty damn loud. So I decided to place a powerstick to tone it down a bit and theres no rasp at all and the sound is great.

I'll try and take more pictures on how I wired the thing. I was also trying to search for a step by step with pictures instructions. But good thing my friend owns a audioshop and he helped me out.

As for the wiring, we pulled out that little compartment in front of the stick and next to the lighter thing. And you'll see a black wire and orange. Connect the black wire from the e-cutout and other to the orange. My friend placed some kind of piece to the wires from the lighter which made it easier to connect the wires to the e-cutout. As you can see I dont know sh*t about electric wires and such but I try hahaha. I will try and get you pictures today brotha.

My wife actually likes it better with the QTP open. She thinks it sound better than what it does through the Gmmg.

Enjoy the sounds and the looks you will get.

no does it feel like you lost any power with putting the powerstick in?

I plan on doing a similar system but, using a bullet or spiral flow. Mostly to tone down the ory that is going on with the lt's.



My wife drives a cammed, stalled, and sprayed Z28

She drives like a granny and doesnt even know how to turn the N20 on or put her foot to the floor............ she loves it though
