I was wondering what a cutout exactly is and whats its purpose and how does it help the car?

I know it's before the muffler. Sorry for the dumb question!

basically when its uncapped, exhaust exits sooner

 

You can place it anywhere before the muffler. Most people do it near the passenger seat. It provides a clear route for exhaust to flow w/o going through any muffler. The sound is much louder and you get some horses b/c it isn't going through any muffler at all.

 

Haha. Zack probably said it much better than I did in just seven words.

 

sorry for the question. ur explanation was what i was looking for.

everybody has been very vague when talking about cut outs. i also have never seen pics of one until u just showed me.

 

a cutout decreases back pressure which increases performance and noise.
