Quick question about cut-outs..
I have Hooker LT's, ORP, and Loudmouth. I am probably going to get a cut-out or two. Most people are telling me that it would show some improvements in performance.
My questions are...
Is it worth it?
Should I do dual cut-outs?
And if so... should I do electric b/c I have Eibach Sportlines... and I don't know how easy they would be to cap and uncap?
Also, what size.. 2.5" or 3"... or bigger?
Thanks

Re: Quick question about cut-outs..
It depends on how loud you want it. And where its fesible to put them. Id for sure get an electronic one, laying on the ground to uncap it sucks. I think QTP has some pis of dual cut outs on thier web page. I have one in my I-pipe and when i get rid of the macs I think im going to get two.

I'd get one 3" cutout and put it in the I-pipe facing slightly down at a 45* angle toward the road. It'll keep interior vibrations down. FWIW, I gained 17 RWHP from uncapping through stock manifolds.

don't waste your money buying electric cut outs, be a man and lie on the ground for 30 seconds and unscrew a few wing nuts, no big deal

Re: Quick question about cut-outs..
With the setup you have. You wont see any performance gain. It will just make car louder then what it already is, i wouldnt mess with a cutout or the integrity of the ORP. Most people that use cutout's havent removed there cats and need to pass emmsions. Just my 2 cents.

Re: Quick question about cut-outs..
I would definitely get a cutout. It shows improvement at the track especially with a c or with a h and c car. Also, it shows improvement with a stock car as a general rule. Whether you get an electric one or not, that is your personal preference and price of the part. If you like performance, I can't see how you could go wrong with this mod. I had one and now I have true dual exhausts. Cheers...
