Cutout questions!?! I've done some searching, and i don't see the answer i'm looking for, and i'm gettin tired!
How hard is it to install an exhaust cutout? what kind of gains might i see at the track? Where can i get the cutout for my car? and anything else you would like to add!? Thx

you can purchase one from many sponsors here summit has the 3 1/2 inch for $31.47.The 3 1/2 is louder than 3 inch its up to you how loud do you like it, you need to take it to a muffler shop to get installed unless you have welder and know how to weld they should charge you from $40 to $80 to install it and far dyno results I wouldnt know because its not worthy to pay for a before and after dyno results.Its a very easy and cheap way to get exhaust noise from these fbodys very worth from my opinion but if you the money get borla,corsa or loudmouth

You would need a 3in cutout since the I pipe is 3 inch. You should see at least a solid tenth at the track with it open. Best place to put them is right under the passenger seat b/c there is a lot of room there.

Normal gains are around 15 hp. It would be a decent gain for you seeing you have no other mods. You will not smell any exhaust smell until you take the cats off and put an offroad y-pipe on. Be aware that a cutout is very loud. I would recommend putting a QTP electric cutout. You get the best of both worlds at the flip of a switch.

An electric one is about the only way to go, unless you like crawling under the car every now and then. I like being able to close mine before I start the car in the morning at 6am to go to work, so the neighbors won't throw a fit, (I live around a bunch of old people) then when I get on out of the neighborhood, I can open it back up.

Thx for the reply's, sound's like it's definitely worth 100 it would cost to get it and install. I mainly just want if for the track to gain that tenth.
