geez, the video's been d/l'd over 80 times and yet only 15 replies? sheez, common, ya use my b/w you could at least post a comment on it

 

well i like the way it sounds in the video but I have never Heard it in Person.

 

sounds the same in real life, except the exhaust note at higher rpm's is clearer since it's so loud the mic on the camera kinda gets hissy.

 

I have the QTP elec cutout, sounds like a horse falling into a garbage can, but I can close it and run my full exhaust with the quiet spintech muffler when I want. With LT's and no cats, you really can't expect a cutout to sound anything other than RASP. It only sounds good at WOT.

 

Here's mine in sig with a cutout and LT's. Its alright sounding i guess, my true duals are complete now though, they just need welded up

these are of qtecs

 

i think that one sounds awesome. i personally LOVE mine. and that is on a stock motor. with a nice cam and some long tubes.....it just sounds MEAN!!!!!

 

I usually don't chime in here but I had a cutout, then went to a loudmouth, then a hooker cat back. I had to throw a cutout on my hooker because I wanted LOUD! I love how cutouts sound. The only thing I like better is corsa but I don't have the cash for that. I plan on ordering a electric cut out when I get enough cash and then I"m in heaven

 

ooops I meant dynomouth, not loudmouth

 

Hell i dont think any thing sounds like a cut out. You just cant beat the WOT sound of V8. just my opinion.

The video sounded awesome,

I like the sound, with a cam - otherwise it just sounds like a loud obnoxious, stock car.

 

well i got the qtec cutout and LOVE it

hey grdlockv6, did you sell the 02 ws6!?! i hope u didn't cause thats i SWEET car

 

I use a quality DMH performance electric cutout on my Borla Exhaust and love it! I use JBA headers with a hollow cat and the sound is mellow and mean when corked (no drone on highway), and really bad-*** when opened up. However, I definitely look for cops before I open it up fully. The only negative sound when fully open is the slight popping sound of the exhaust when engine braking the M6 tranmission from higher revs.

Granted my engine is putting out only about 360 flywheel horsepower. Maybe a stoker with a cam or compressor might sound more objectionable.

As far as rattles, check the routing of the exhaust and secure it better. Sometimes header heat barrier cloth can be wrapped around interference points or to dampen resonances where rattles could occur (ie. gas tank heat shield sheetmetal).

 

I agree that a cut-out isn't for everybody but a what's the dif between a Borla and just making plates with different size holes to adjust the sound? The only electric I've had is a McCord. It started leaking bad enough after approx. 6 thousand miles that I ditched it and just decided to make some plates. I've done two so far. One with an iron cross style design. One with a flower pedal type design. If you wanted I guess you could just drill a hole. I'll try to get some pics up tommorrow.

 

I put some pics of my plates up here http://www.cardomain.com/id/jamesz28 at the bottom of my page.
