Alright I'm getting this tomorrow so I need some feedback. How loud will it be to add a 3 inch cutout on a flowmasster on my WS6? 1-10 rate it?

depends... y-pipe or catted-y? I'd rate it 5/10 with cats and 8/10 without.

whe I had a cutout in my stock exhaust. I couldn't talk to the person next to me...and it hurt my ears a little. i loved it, but it made **** rattle in my car..so i ditched it.

just finished my install with pacesetter longtubes ORY-pipe and a 3 in cutout this past weekend. With the cutouts closed idle the sound is deeper a lil louder when on the throttle youll rattle some glass. with the cutout open at idle rattle glas definfnitely on the throttle good luck talking to anyone in your car or hearing the radio. Hands down i love the sound of the car.

On a side note. I would definitley go with headers studs a def good buy for headers. I installed mine with no problems at all and also no exhaust leaks whatsoever throughout the exhaust. Only thing is the ORY-pipe will rattle the car so be ready but otherwise i love the sound and i think you will be happy

id say around a 3-4...it will get louder with headers and ory...but like i said in a couple of other posts...the flowmaster isnt the best muffler by far...on the dyno, i lost 13rwhp going through the flowmaster...its pretty loud with the cutout off without cats though...it would sound better with a good cam

LSWaaa?

will it be loud? yes. will it hurt HP output? yes.

I'd say on a scale of 1-10 i give it a 4-5, 5 if its super cold out..4 when it warms up. The thing that sucks is trying to talk on the phone on the highway with a cutout.

LSWaaa?

multi chambered muffs have been proven hurt output, not help it. so you sir are retarded.

I AGREE..CUTOUTS DO NOT [usually] make LESS HP.

I think he was talking about the flowmaster its self, and not the cut out...
I have also heard the Chokemaster(80 Series) is terrible for our LS1 cars.

I made almost 10 extra HP with my cutout open on the dyno this past monday at MTI. Thats pretty crazy.

Hopefully you will keep the cats to help clean up the sound... ive heard a flows, no cats and cutout in person and it sounded like butthole

Pfft. I'm the exception. Cutouts kill your low end. I ran 2 tenths slower at the track with my cutout open over my Corsa. I can feel it around town, too. It's a dog down low with the cutout open, but I never close it because Corsa is so quiet on stock manifolds and cats. I'm sure I'd gain a few hp peak with the cutout open, but overall, I'm sure I lost in total area big time.

I ran back to back 13.60's with just a lid/catback. I added an FTRA, swapped the steel driveshaft for an HD aluminum one and opened the cutout...ran a best of 13.7 after 4 passes The cutout killed me...and I lost the cap

Of course, I'm sure you'll gain almost everywhere over a Flowmaster catback with the cutout open...

I see this post everytime cutouts get brought up. I'm sure there are more variables to your track time,unless you have timeslips showing the diffrences.

My bad. Thought you were talking about cutouts hurting performance. Sorry meng.

crazboy99

on the dyno mine improved throughout the rpms...could go both ways
