Just get one welded in to try it, you can always add the electric later.

I agree. U can just add the electric part later.A manual cutout will work just fine. A cutout will make your car louder and you will gain some performance. My cutout is my favorite mod so far.

Love my cutout, so loud, and I can keep my flowmaster exhaust. I run it open all the time anyway.

It makes a huge difference in sound at wot. When its idling theirs not a huge difference. Its hard for me to tell if I can feel the difference in power cause i just think it feels faster cause its so much louder. I have heard people say you will gain 3-20 hp. I would say you gain about 10hp, ir 1 tenth at the track.
