Talking Its on......

The cut-out is on!!!! Took the whole day to fab up the pipe get the wiring fixed and get some kinks out. I really wish they would have done some quality control before they shipped it out though. They didn't send the right length of wire, it barely got into the engine bay from the cutout location, The cig lighter was a PITA to get out in one piece, and the valve wouldn't open all the way because a weld was to thick (we were lucky enough to find that out after everything was mounted and wired up though). But after all was said and done all I gotta say is this thing sounds F*CKIN AMAZING!!!!

After:


Switch Location:


Sound clip will be up tomorrow after work hopefully

They do sound amazing, and just because you have an exhaust system doesn't mean that you can't consider adding a cutout. I put in a cutout even though I already had an exhaust, and I think it was the best exhaust decision I made so far. I still have my Flowmaster hooked up if I want to close my cutout, but the cutout sounds so good, I haven't closed it since it was installed.

I am glad to see that you got it installed. And I like the placement of where you put the switch. Can't wait to hear the sound clip. Good job man.
