Default cut outs with stock manifolds?

does anybody know what LT1's sound like with cut outs and the stock exhaust manifolds? no need to yell at me for not having headers, its because there is absolutley no room in the engine compartment in the falcon, trust me. i would definitly have some custom headers in there by now if i could. plus the manifolds look like the were made for my car and they fit real well. anyways, maybe someone has a sound clip of manifolds with cutouts. ive been told it would sound like crap, idk.

hey nomoneyz, thanks for the clip, i am really considering doing it after hearing it. im thinkin of saving some dough and just fabricating my own by welding a slanted piece of 2 and a quarter exhaust pipe to the current exhaust and then making a 3 bolt flange and cover like a regular cutout for the end of it, anybody ever done this?
