Default Cutouts are Fun!

I went the cheap route and got a cutout. Its not that loud with stock manifolds and cats unless you get on it. With the M6 its easy to keep the rpms low and the engine quiet when needed. Ive driven by cops and they havent done anything.

The cutout really makes you want to hammer the car. Had fun drivin to work this morning in the rain. I was spinnin the tires in the first two gears just to hear the engine rev. Doing powerslides and drivin down the street sideways. I dont no think I will ever cork up the cut out. Too much fun. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Cant wait until I have the power to do powerslides on dry pavement like I do in the rain.

I think there might be noise ordinances. As long as you dont blasting through neighborhoods late at night they probably dont care.

I must be getting used to the cut out. It doesnt seem loud anymore. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

Electric cutouts are more fun!!!! Best of both worlds....and I think I appreciate opening it even more after having it quiet for awhile and vice versa...
