Default I got my cutout!

Today afterschool i went to this new auto shop down the street and asked them how much to install it and they said 50. I was like can you do 45, since thats how much i was gonna pay if i went to this other place. So they start installing ait and it's taking FOREVER!! It took them probably like 2 hours to install the dumb thing. So finally they finish they bring the car out and im like....do you want me to pull to the front to pay? And they're like no, don't worry about it and sorry for the delay. I was like sweet! Man, i LOVE the sound.

ahaha me to, but the best part about a cutout is it will just keep sounding better with every exhaust mod you do, and it will flow better than any catback system on the market. Mine took about hours to install but its a e-cutout, Thank you Next level Performance

Maybe I'm off base here, but in the rare occasion I actually let somebody else work on my vehicle , I really don't care about how fast they can do the job , but more about how well they do it. I'd rather wait a bit for well done,quality work than sloppy ,super fast work. After all , if it gets done really quick but I have to come back to correct a problem with workmanship , what did I gain? Not being critical here , just provoking a bit of thought here.

very very true but obviously that we all know (atleast I do), but what i meant and probably the other is...well we know how long certain jobs should take so somtimes when they take to long you wonder stuff. Somtimes that extra time means they might not know what there doing at that is a very bad thing. I mean no offense

There is no reason to put a cut-out before the cats. If you don't want cats get an ORY or punch through them and hollow them out.

Peace,
