I finally decided to buy and install a cutout on my car and all I can say is wow. The sound is awesome, with the cutout open the exhaust tone got so much deeper and the raspiness/popping went away, even at the higher rpm's. I was worried that the sound would be annoying but its unbelievable. I dunno if others have similar great results but with my current exhaust setup, it sounds amazing. Also, I picked up my cutout from a local speed shop for 29 bucks including tax! Great price, great sound, great mod. Just my .02

 

Glad you liked it, now save up and get an e cutout to stick on it and keep it closed untill you want to scare someone

 

ISNT the borla already basically a cutout?

 

Welcome to the club. Ive had one for years and have never got tired of it. Dont waste the money on an ecutout, I have one and never use it unless someone asks what the switch is for.

 

I agree, I love mine. Sooo glad i didnt get ecutout cuz its only been closed for like 2 highway trips over the year i had it. but yeah, isn't borla a cutout in itself?

 

wait until you dyno you picked up 8-10rwhp also

 

Ive never had and e-cutout...how can you guys stand to leave yours open, i think it sounds like total crap with a cutout open...its just really loud.

 

i agree it is way to loud open. only at the track

 

is it hard to install? I've been thinking about one......I just have Flowmaster 3.5" mufflers, not a whole system.

 

The sound is alot louder but not obnoxiously loud IMO, I put the cutout to the rear of the car just before the passenger side rear tire. I get a little vibration in the car but not anything real noticeable. I've heard the Borla is basically an over-priced cutout but the sound with the cutout open is so much better than through the Borla muffler. I dunno which plate, if any is in my exhaust because the bolts were so rusted I broke one of them off trying to see which plate I had in. But there is no comparison with the cutout off and the Borla Also, the install isn't very hard, 2 cuts and 2 welds/clamps.

 

i LOVED my cutout.... agree on best $30 ever spent on car

 

Cutouts are so old school but the cool factor never dies.

 

cut outs are cool - i got yelled at at englishtown one night cuz i ran it open...whoops.....anyways, i heard it isnt good to leave it open all the time cuz ur motor loses backpressure and then something can go wrong with your valves er osmething...get knocking etc...just thought i would share ....not saying im right or its true - just wanted to share something i heard

 

All of those rumors are false, leave your cut-out open for as long as you want.

 

I dyno'd my car about 2 months ago with my E-cut out. I only picked up 2rwhp, no where near what everyone else gets. Maybe it's because i was running through the stock manifolds and catted y-pipe and those were more restrictive then the reqular exhaust, i dunno. I just installed headers and am planning on getting another dyno this weekend. I'll see if I get the 8-10rwhp gain now that i was expecting.
