Default Just got a cutout put in...

I just got a 3 inch cutout put into my I-pipe. When I first started it up, I was blown away!! It is so much louder than I thought. I was just curious if anyone that drives uncapped has ever been pulled over and got a ticket.

It might seem loud to you now but you will get use to it. Then you will want it to be louder. I never capped mine until LTs.

I have had Hooker LT's and an ORY since January. It is LOUD now. But I am sure I will get used to it and then want it louder then.

My current combo is much louder than my car was when I had stock exhaust and an open cutout... haven't even had a cop look twice at me yet while rolling by.

I have the same setup with the Rumbler, but I went even farther. I added dual cutouts in my ORY. So far I only run them open at the track, but when the cam is in.. I think I'm gonna open them more often. Without a cam, the cutout is just loud noise, but with a cam it's a car guys music

How much did it cost you to get it welded in?
