Cutout Louder Then LM?

Will a cutout be any louder with MAC Offroad Pipe + Mac Headers or will it be about the same as my loudmouth? Might get it anyway its only $30 after all

awww

why go for a manual cutout

are you really gonna want to reach under there as the local smokey cop towers over you... telling you to shut your car the f*** up or he'll impound it... burning your fingertips on the red hot lever?? lol

(just to help you visualize the possible consequences )

Because I don't have the $$ for an electric cutout and going to have my off road pipe welded on soon and could have cutout done at same time.

Anyways my questions still unanswered

I think the cutout serves the same purpose as your track pipe... just bypasses the cat(s) and muffler(s)... So... based solely on logic/common sense, I say no...

<edit>

Why not just skip the track pipe... leave your factory exhaust in place and get an electric cutout?

That way you get the best of both worlds... and it doesn't take an hour on the lift to swap it back to "normal" , just in case you have to for whatever reason (unfamiliar with AZ's smog laws)

A cutout will be louder inside the car since the exhaust is going to dump under the car vs. the rear, but outside it will probably be about the same loudness.
