Default Dual cutouts installed behind the axle.

I welded in my dual mccord cutouts on my over the axle true dual setup yesterday. Holy crap, my car sounds like a pro stock car now. I LOVE them. I cant tell if I have any leaks, but since its behind the axle, it wont bother me too much. I have the cutouts just before my 6" round magnaflow mufflers and CME. With them closed, its nice and tame at idle, civilized at part throttle, yes still screams at WOT. Its got a great tone. With the cutouts open, its got a sick lumpy idle, part throttle is very agressive and a bit of raspiness, but not real blatting. At WOT, it sounds like the gates of hell have opened up and the world is coming to an end. I should have done this years ago!
