Default going with TD's...what do i do with elec. cutout?

pretty much like stated in the title, what do I do about the electric cutout that I have installed right before the bend in the I pipe. What do I do with the wires and hook ups?

either buy yourself a new electric plate & two new cutouts to be installed before the bullets in the duals - i don't see why you would want or need to do that

if you want cutouts, you'd want two with a true dual system

i'd just say sell the catback with the e-cutout if/when you decide that the duals sound the way you want

I'd just sell the e-cutout. TDs will be plenty loud enough, and flow well enough too.

How is the cable run to the cutout? Did you install it yourself?

Yea. Start at the switch and work your way back to see where he ran the cable. Just cut the wires on the switch and leave them as long as possible.

yeah looks like im going to have to keep the switch in its place simply b/c it will be a hole where its at and i cant have that. but you say just cut the wire and get as most of the wire out as possible right?

I have true duals with the Dynomax Bullets dumped...Pretty much the loudest system for my car aside from having my long-tubes open. And well...sometimes I wish my car was louder. I may be investing in a couple of cut-outs just for the sound. I remember after the start-up at about 2 in the morning after my long-tube installation...It sounds a HELL of a lot better at idle than my current setup sounds. And my Dynomax's sound pretty damn good
