If ur gonna get a cutout for a DD, get an electric one. Theres no point in having a DD that loud, itll get old, and annoying. I know from experience. I love the sound of it thru my LT's and ORY at WOT, but its closed 90% of the time. doesnt sound very good with stock manis and cats IMO either

I just put a cut-out on last week on a stock exhaust set up and ran back to back with it closed then opened and picked up .11 et and a little over 1 mph in the quarter on the same exact 60 ft. time so i feel it was accurate. Needless to say i was pleasantly surprised of the gains for such a small investment, i guess the stock muffler on our cars is pretty restrictive not to mention too quiet.

I put a cutout on my stock exhaust about two weeks ago and it sounds good. I think its my favorite mod so far and it wasnt expensive. I say just try it out and see if u like it

I have a 98 trans am with a cutout to the passenger exhaust pipe, yet the drivers side exhaust pipe still runs through the stock muffler. I am more or less happy with the sound, but I am wondering what would happen if I removed the muffler altogether and put in a straight pipe right out to the drivers side exhaust? I imagine it would be louder, but how much (I imagine the majority of exhaust goes out the passengers side due to less travel)? I know some of you say I could never quiet it (I could put in a plate now to do exactly that on the passengers side), but I have owned the car for over 2 years and have NEVER had any reason to quiet it ... it is a semi-daily driver.
So, the question, is there any benefits / downsides to eliminate the stock muffler on a car with a cutout already other than the extra money spent?
