Doesn't matter how big they make the fonts on the Stickys, people aren't going to read them these days.

The cutouts allow you to bypass your mufflers by opening a hole in the exhaust upstream. They will give you a couple horses and allow you to make your car obnoxiously loud at the push of a button.

It's not realy THAT loud with stock manifolds though. Also did anyone notice a decrease in mpg? It seems like i've had worse gas mileage since getting it installed but i havnt verified it yet. Would a bad weld job make your mpg decrease?
