IMHO, you'd be better off with electric cut-outs. This way you have more control with the noise factor. Besides, by looking at the PIC I' don't understand how that much hp can be gained, whereas with the cut-outs, it is my understanding, located before the Cats does equal a little bit of hp gain. Plus, I don't see how this mod would pass emissions inspection with the opening clearly before the mufflers. May I suggest doing a search here & CF for Threads on cut-outs for a better explanation, since I don't personally have that set-up.

Yea, I know what you meant... I just think you'd be better off with electric cut-outs. Besides, not so sure the exhaust mod will pass emissions inspection. Plus, the exhaust mod reminds me of just a hole in the pipes.

No disrespect, though & you do what you like cause the bottom line is its your ride.
