Cutout with Off-Road Y I'm thinking about changing my exhaust setup to be a bit more friendly to the neighbors. I'll probably go with either a Hooker or Magnaflow catback, ORY and a cutout, but I'm curious to know how the car would sound with the cutout open and the ORY.
Thanks,
Josh

not to highjack your thread, but i was wondering if a cutout is worth the money...
i am looking at getting some headers with the dual cutout y-pipe... the y-pipe is $600 and i was wondering if cutouts are worth the money?
thanks

A open cutout in the I pipe with an ORY @ Longtubes will be very loud! Watch it around any Police. Under acceleration it can be heard from blocks away plain as day. Mine sounded very good unitl 2200-3000 when it hit the rasp zone where it sounded awful but as soon as you got past that it was awesome! Now with my Catted Y pipe my open QTEC sounds damn good! No rasp anymore but just a nice deep loud sound.

Just to get an idea...I was about 2 miles away from my house one night with my cut-out open, when I punched it...I was home in about 5 min...My mom asked, "If that was me." I said of course not

SS Girl, Well it depends on what kind of sound you want. If you want very loud raw nacar sound then go for an ORY with a Cutout. Having Cats then a cutout will not be as loud and there won't be any rasp but it will still roar. The cats produce a more refined sound whereas the ORY is usually a raw sound.

The sound of rasp is all your own personal opinion. Some like it and some don't. As for me well I hate it as it really sounds out of place. I used to run ORY setups that had rasp so I tolerated it while I could but now after going to highflow cats and having no rasp whatsoever I will never go back to a ORY setup. It's all personal preference.
