Don't waste your money its only 2" summit or jegs have 2.5"-3.5" cutouts pretty cheap if your on a budget.

Please dont waste your time on these. Had them on my 64 chevy truck in high school, ALWAYS LEAKED. If you are truly on a budget get the wing nut types from jegs, kind of a pain in the *** to get off, but they wont leak on you.

yeah i bought a 3'' cutout from summit on $25.. reputable name as well, and good cust. service. I once had the wing nuts falls off on highway, gasket roll off and the plate LOL. Look back in my rearview and see it rolling lol. There was no traffic, however I called summit and receive replacement nuts/bolts, gasket, and plate in 2 days.

Sorry for the hikack, however i would spend the extra $10 to get a light more reputable piece

thanks man.
alrite koo. well the thing with me was, ok. I was getting a gift from my parents, and i said either a y pipe with cut outs, or duals. It seems my dad is leaning more onto the duals, but he wants em to come all the way out back, but I want them dumped. I was just checking to see a better and cheaper way to make my car loud and gain a few hp, either 4 or 5 hp. I have no clue how many hp duals or cut out produces, at least its something. but yea.
thanks for the compliment on the sig.
I wonder why you like it. haha jk.
thanks.

Go with duels. Personally i think it will sound better then a cut out and if they are true duels they will still be quiet loud.

go with the duals

you'll make better power
the car will sound a lot better than a raspy cutout
you'll hate climbing under to cap/uncap it cutout
once you listen to the car with duals, you'll be pleased, if u want louder, cutouts are only going to hurt your performance at that the stock level with duals and cutouts.
After having a cutout and full exhaust, i enjoyed how the car sounded with the cutout closed more, it also pulled in the lower rpms a lil better so it was a blast to drive around town...untill you get into heads/cam/etc, stick with the duals, unless you plan on building an extreme racer.
