Cutout Or Not??? I am in the process of getting Pacesetter LT Headers and I am debating on putting a McCord PowerPlate cutout while I am doing work under the car anyways, What sounds better? And if i do get them, where should I place them under the car?? 
Does anyone know of any other kinds that arent to expensive that are good.
Does anyone know of any other kinds that arent to expensive that are good. machsv103: If you want a louder and more race sound then go for the cutout. I would suggest getting an electric cutout so you dont have to go under your car to open/ close it. Quick Time Performance is a popular cutout. Take a look at their website. And also, put your cutout in the I-pipe and stay away from a dual cutout y-pipe as they will result in a power loss. I may only be 17 but I have a tricked out WS6 and i know what the hell im talkin about. My advice: single QTEC in I-pipe. just my $.02

IMHO I wish I would have gotten an electric cutout and left the stock exhaust on. I had some nice stainless tips on my dual/dual setup and went to true duals. Sometimes I just wish I could turn down the volume but thats only in a blue moon and hell freezes at the same time.

get the cutout, but i say do two in the y. ive never heard one in the i but mine sound awesome. you also dont have to deal with the sound of the Y merge (wich ive heard is responsible for some of the rasp) i havent NOTICED any power loss, nor a gain with them open, but i got them the same time as my headers and am probably just feeling the gains from them.

It must suck to have ur girlfriend buy you birthday presents?!? And presents for your car, nonetheless??
You must be a lonely guy!
Cutouts with LT's are really loud! I love mine. Throwing a rev under a bridge near a stoplight, everybodies head turns. I get lots of compliments on mine. Sounds like *** sometimes too. Mostly under heavy load in the low RPM's, but in the high end, damn it sounds mean!

I love my cutouts, I think it sounds awseome all the time. I like that sounds of old muscle cars running open headers which is what it sounds like.
If you have one, go in a tunnel and rev your car up, it gets loud as ****, like 2x louder than outside. Then people infront of you speed up and think someone is about to run them off the road, lol.
