idk id assume so as the name would imply the "hush" characteristic lol. i ordered a power stick already to put in line with my already existing magnaflow. along with a cutout. if its still not quiet enough ill change out everything to something else. im hoping that this will work for what i want/need it to be like

welp i know its been along time since i updated this but its all done! i had installed a single baffled muffler and my QTP cut out. last week.... i was extremly busy this week and also had to wait on my friend for the pictures because my camera wasnt working that day. all i can say is WOW! its conciderably quieter at idle and especially at WOT at any RPM's with the cutout closed running through both mufflers. i can actually talkto someone in the car when im on the highway! its great! i even notied a slight increase in low end power. but whats even more impressive is when the cutout open.... its amazing i loose alittle power down low but up top it screams and pulls just alittle bit harder. its great to **** with people at the lights. just roll up to them and open it up and blast away from the light without them knowing i shoulda done a cutout alot sooner. i couldnt be happier with it! i also have alot of ground clearance to boot! even tho when i lower it thatll all change









sorry no video yet guys imma try to get something up tomorrow for a comparison.

Welcome to the Electric Cut out group Isn't it fun to play with? I opened mine on some guy driving a Vtec Civic the other day and he jumped so high his head literally hit the roof..lmao. I've been noticing that when I open it while driving next to someone, they think I've got on the gas and they floor their car...lol
