Cut Out on stock exhaust- good or bad sound? It will be awhile before I can do the full exhaust mod, just wondering if a cut out would sound good, or just sound like an exhaust leak if put on a stock exhaust. Only engine mod is air intake. Search said nothing about stock exhausts.

actualy it sounds real good, couple freinds of mine thought that maybe it would sound like ***, but they were even impressed. After longtubes and no cats its very loud and unrefined-in my opinion it doesn't sound very good now, unless I keep the cutout halfway closed, the cats must keep the rasp down. with stock exhaust it sounds loud but not untolerable, sounds pretty muscley at full throttle, with headers and no cats it sounds like nascar at full throttle-way to much noise for the street as the police will hit you right away. I love having the electric cutout as I can have my quiet stock exhaust for cruising on the freeway and then open it up to scare people when I choose to. Having a loud catback gets old as it drones and then you must play the stereo very loud to go over the noise. Have a cutout installed, and if you like hiow it sounds get an electric plate for it.

ya my cutout sounds great and everyone i come across likes the sound. Im putting headers on this weekend and i know its gonna be really loud so im going to buy the electric piece. It cost me $40 for the cutout and then another $40 to install so for the price you cant beat it.
