With my car being all factory minus the magnaflow muffler will the cutout be a lot louder vs how it sounds now? I want to order a cutout but don't want to spend the money if it's not going to be noticeably louder.

Just bought a cutout and was wondering where's the best place to mount the switch and get power for it?

That's clean looking! How much does the switch and custom cover cost? Did you ever get a chance to get me a video of your cutout? I can PM you my number if texting it would be easier. Thanks!

I have a QTP. So far, so good.

I love the sound too. I usually leave it open.

I got my cutout today but for some reason it seems kinda slow opening and closing compared to my old DMH cutout. Is this normal?

Just took a quick video of it in action:

The power source has a lot to do with how fast the motor is going to turn.
