ive kept mine open ever since i got it installed(a month or so), but capped it yesterday and my car was quiet as hell, i put it on bc i heard it could start alot of rattles etc, but i hated it being quite, and i love the way it sounds so i took it back off, what do u guys do ? keep it on or off? do u think i should probably put it back on? do u think ive probably started alot of rattles already? i cant really notice any, but thats bc the cutouts still open thanks

 

Two cutouts right after the h-pipe following my Hooker longtubes. Always open.

 

I keep mine open all the time, mainly cause I have some exhaust leaks and you cant hear them with it open but also cause it sounds alot meaner. I have rattles when mine is off but I put it on awhile back because I forgot what it sounded like and I was showing someone the diff, that whole day it was on I didnt hear any rattles. Its okay though cause I know where they all are so I am about to take my dash apart and fix all that . I would just leave it off .

 

Open 24/7

 

alright guys thats exactly what i wanted to hear, thanks

 

I don't exactly have a cutout on the Acura I have now, but all four of the f-bodies I've owned in the past have had them, and they all stayed opened all the time. Does it cause rattles? Yes. Do I care? No.

Although on one of my LT1's I closed the cutout occasionally cause it had longtubes, off-road y, and Hooker cat-back, and sometimes I liked the sound of that... still insanely loud and mean, but since the exhaust exits at the rear instead of reverbing off the concrete, it's a lot quieter inside!

 

Nope.

I hadn't opened it in ages until this past Sunday. I've been driving like that now for a few days and it's about time to crawl back under there and close it off...

Don't get me wrong, I loooove the way it sound open, but enough is enough... I really need to get an electric plate for it. Then I would definetely enjoy it more.

If you decide to go electric, the DMH unit is awesome. I've had mine over a year now w/ no problems.

 

yes

Mines been open since i have gotten it on. it's probably been open for a year+. None of my friends know what my car sounds like capped anymore

rattles: YES but,
Cut Out+parking garage= fun.

 

Yeah I guess it's quite good. However, I do know many people who have had good luck with the MPP2, so since it is less expensive than the DMH unit, I might have to go with that. We'll see...

 

My buddy Jon has 600$ cut out called a Borla, that thing is always uncapped

 

haha yaaaaaaaaa

 

I daily drove my car open longtubes for over a year....

 

Hahaha, add ina big converter and its real fun

 

My car is banned from the parking garage at work... I have to park in the side lot now.
