Cutouts are cool, just invest and get an electric. The manual ones get old real quick. Having to lay on the ground to open and close it

I got a new jack, creeper and now have four jackstands, hopefully i can get the downpipe out and delete the cat, and buy that mandrel bent 3" catback Kit then maybe add a MF bullet muffler, then figure out what tips to use eventually. Also tr6ix plugs and get the rear o2 tuned out and have overall tuning looked at again by lew to see if changes are needed.
