Default Have any of you put cutouts on with you true duals?

I currently have LT headers/True duals/Bullet mufflers. But I want it louder. Have any of your guys ran cutouts with TDs? If so, how was it?
Thanks
Patrick.

IMO, LS1's sound like **** with open headers period. the only way they sound good, is with a lumpy cam at idle. anything over idle with any cam sounds like a herd of harleys coming down the road.

Put cutouts right off the freakin headers. Honestly though, LS1's sounds like a bag of *** with open pipe. Anything over idle sounds worse than a civic with a fart can on it.

thats what you think. i thought the same thing, i built my motor with an MS4 and some wild compression and it still sounds like ****, except for idle, where it sounds wicked awesome.

dont get me wrong, im still putting my cutouts on right after the collectors, but its purely for performance, not sound. i may not gain that much over my duals at the track, but i got them cheap.

Louder? just clamp some small 12" long circle track mufflers directly onto the headers.

yea, some spiral flows right off the headers with turn down's/outs would be louder and sound good. but it would probably draw unwanted attention (cops)

couldn't of said it better myself. at idle, or WOT they sound badass open headers, anything else i think it sounds like a V6 trying to be a badass...

don, if you want it louder take the mufflers off, doesn't sound as shitty and increases sound by maybe 30-40 %.. i have TSP duals on mine and with mufflers off it sounds great at half throttle through the rpm ranges.

On my old 02 Z, I had two on my TSP duals and they were they mainly for the noise. yeah it did sound like *** at times but at idle I loved it(Futrul F13).
