Default cutout right before mufflr or GMMG

I had an idea to buy a $20 cutout and then create different sized plates similar to the borla setup.

Either spend $700 for a GMMG...kinda wish that price was a little lower BUT it is an awesome muffler.

buy the cutout and place it right after the piping turns over the axle towards the muffler and have it so the exhaust goes out under the car and have different size plates for the cutout,w hich i can machine the plates myself.

OR buy the electric cutout and modify it so that it can be adjusted at different positions instead of just open or closed(unless they already do that, which i don't think they do)

I love the way GMMG sounds...i just don't have the money for that...my headers cost almost the same...

**if someone is getting rid of their GMMG (highly doubtful) but IF, lol let me know.

cutout...will be VERY loud with LT's and no cats, no prob just close it. too quiet? open it half way, best of both worlds.

cut-out, save the extra money for something else, i wouldn't even bother with an electric either, i leave mine open all the time, install the cutout and then decide if you want the electric cutout.
