Default cutout ?

i was thinking of puting a cutout on my 02 ws6 it has stock manifolds and y-pipe and im not planing on puting headers on for a while. Is there a real benefit to puting one on and what size would i have to use thanks

This is exactly what I was thinking of doing to my 1999 to. I just don't have the cash for an exhaust rite now.

go for it I had one on my ca when i had the stock manifolds as for the size get a 3" that will fit on your car.
and if you can get an electric one that way you can go loud to stealth mode

do it!!! definitely worth it if you want a nice sounding exhaust without having to actually buy an entire catback.

Yea i wanted an electric cutout but my car already has a gmmg catback on it so will it have any gain over that or is it only worth having with a set of headers or a cam?

it might be minimal gain in hp but it will be louder for sure.
if you do go electric you can always swap it out and put it on your ypipe if/when you get LT's

Dude, http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...oducts_id=1611 .
Then maybe drop another 30 bucks at a muffler shop for them to weld it in.
SOOOOOO worth it.
I <3 cold starts.
Have them put one on the I-pipe underneath the seat.

I just installed an electric cutout (already had the cutout, added the DMH Performance motor/butterfly plate), so much more convenient, loud to quiet or quiet to loud with a push of a button.
