Either an electric or manual cut-out is a easy cheap way to make it way louder & pick up some extra hp.

if you ar going to get a cut out get an electric one, a cutout will make nice HP and alot louder, might lose a lilunder the curve, but you should have your heart set on it, do it right the first time

get a cut out that you can cap manually, if you want to change the exhaust in the future dont waste money now, or just remove your cat back lol. i went from stock exhaust to ory with stock manifolds to headers and then gmmg cat back, the money i spent for ory could have had me well on the way to headers. if you get ory and cut out you are getting close to the price for pacesetters and ory.

yeah an electric cutout will run you close to $200 thats almost the price of uncoated pacesetters. just get a manual cutout for like $30.

you know what a cutout looks like, right? well a manual cutout has a plate with wingnuts so you can take it off (cutout open) or put it on (closed). but you have to lay on the ground and take the nuts off.

I would wait for a group purchase to come up, I saved 40 bucks on mine doing that, and I love mine it works great. IT made the car louder but not as much as I would have liked, after headers of course its like NASCAR-a wee bit to loud, but since its electric I can adjust it. If you want it loud all the time just save yourself money and get the manual one and just leave it uncapped, then in the future if you want an electric one just get one, as it will bolt to the manual one already on the car. Its hard to explain, so look at some vendors pictures and you will see why it works, and when you order the manual, ask to make sure it will bolt to the electric one. I haven't seen any that don't but just to be on the safe side. you could also just cut the muffler off, this would give you a much louder sound, but then theres no way to reduce it like you could with the cutout.

well I'll just get the electric cutout so with a flip of a switch I can close it (especially when cops are around) the price is affordable too

you ahve gmmg? with the rest stock exhaust? IMO a cut out wont do much except make the exhaust sound shittier. gmmg on my car sounds damn near close to open headers just with the rumble. a cut out will still go through the cats
