I have mine under the pass. side seat and don't need to jack it up to remove/install the plate. I used to love the tone of my Magnaflow but now that I have the cutout I rarely hear that anymore except for NJ inspection time.

hmm.. thought on the sound of cutouts on a 350 crate with a cam/headers? its pretty damn loud as it is, but it could always be louder anyone know how much an exhaust shop would charge to put them on?

I have an electric one, I keep it closed most of the time. I DD my car, I don't need unwanted attention from cops since I can't afford anymore tickets. I also kinda like it quiet most of the time, I listen to the stereo.

On the other hand, I never have to crawl under my car anymore when I go to the track, I can see a car I want to give a few revs at/give a short run and I can push a button to open it. The DLH takes less than 2 seconds to open.

Thats what I thought you meant Just trying to make you feel a lil better about buying the catback, so you wouldn't feel like you spent $$$ in the wrong place.....cutout+stock exhaust= **** pile IMO But cutout+aftermarket exhaust= sounds decent FWIW

I have a corsa catback and nothing else. Where do you get a cutout? How much? Where does it go exactly on the car?

i want those cutouts to scare off ricers... 70 bucks parts and installation, or just installation? i have to get away with it without my dad knowing, i suggested it jokingly today and he gave me a dirty look.

Im glad you did this, because im going to the track on sunday (1/8 Mile) and to me, when my cutout is open, i feel like its slower on bottom end. I bet it would help in the 1/4 but how much did it help you in the 1/8?

no problem, mine it right after the stock y-pipe on the passenger side, and its easy to get to, dont buy an electric, because i always hear that they fail and leak. They actually make aftermaket y-pipes, and they have dual cutouts, i saw one on the forum about a week ago, but it got sold quick
