I am 16 and am not allowed to modify the car, a cutout cost money, and must be shipped. A pipe is $2.99 at the most, and I can weld it for free. That is why I want to do this modification. If I do this, my parents will not know, but if I get a cutout then they wil obviusly know. So I'm n a delima!!!!

This is the modification that adds a Borla touch so to speak. It allows Un-muffled exhaust to flow into the muffled exhaust. It is a welded piece of pipe that forms an H-pipe right bfore the muffler. Some exhaust will go through the muffler, some will not, either way, they combine creating a rich Borla like tone for $2.99 plus weld. I think it is worth it, I was just wondering how big of a difference it makes.

you can build a cutout if you can weld

I am not sure how much of a difference it makes.

I am going to be doing that soon, but a little different..

USE a Qtec cutout between the 2 pipes, so closed, works like stock, open, its a cutout (through the tailpipe)

I did that to my Flowmaster and it sounds real good!!!....I get alot of compliments on my exhaust and after I found out that Flowmaster doesn't flow real well......I added a cut-out in the I-pipe for better flow....not having to sacrifice a whole lot of money for a better flowing exhaust.......the cutout made the exhaust sound much throatier and louder but now I want louder so I'll probably be getting rid of the Dynomax High Flow Cats........

You must be talking about the mod that's listed on LS1.com . Doesn't look like it's worth anything to me, I say start saving your cash now, then when you turn 18 mod the crap out of it. What's two years anyway, have fun with the car now, mod later.

Well whop ever did that mod was a dumbass. The pipe was like 1 inch diameter at the most, I'm thinking or going 2-2.5 inches. I have been told to block off the right muffler exit, and replace it with a pipe to the unmuffled exhaust.

Your'e 16 and have a 98 Fbody? I take it your parents are paying for your insurance hence, no mods? Save yer dough, keep yer noze clean and in no time you will have an absolute killer car. I was 25 before I bought my first Fbody, till then I just had crappy front wheel drive cars. Take care dude.

I pay all $3,200 a year on insurance. I is real hard to earn $60 a week, pay for gas, and still have money to save for mods. At this point in time I go 0-60 in 5.3 seconds according to my pocket dyno. I have been waiting to get this car for the past 4-5 years, and belive me, I will not take a lost to a non american car. EVER!!!!! That is my promise to every Camaro, Trans Am, and Corvette owner. I will not lose!

I don't race if I know I will lose. Also, I rarely ever street race, it is not the safest thng to do on many levels. I only race at the track, where it is legal, and where the ricers are scared to go to get their asses whooped. SO there you have it, I have not lost on any encounter, no will I because I only race the ricers who taunt me, those are usually in a civic or integra so I am safe. I have beaten a turbo civic, turbo integra, and turbo eclipse. However, let's get back to the exhaust mod, thank you. I will be doin it this Saturday and want to know what size pipe I should use.

Im helping a friend put borla on his car today and his stock WS6 exhuast is comming off. It has a cut out in the y-pipe and he might let the cat back and cut out go for around 20 dollars.
