ok ppl here is wat i think and wat im going to do. i think this should be inside the exhaust meaning that if i want normal sound then i close it and if i want loud exhaust as muffler sound then i open. what i did is that i took it to the work shop this morning and im goin to change the plate inside to a bigger one and i think this should solve the problem. i bought them from Dubai UAE and i think its gona be a simple solution and a plate like this here will be so cheap. what do u think?

No, the one you have IS NOT a cut out. The whole point of a cutout is to bypass the muffler through a seperate pipe, if you did what you are thinking with that one you would be blocking the exhaust gasses trying to go through the muffler and that would be bad

that isn't an e cutout, it is designed to slow down semi trucks by temporarily holding exhaust gasses in the engine, it mounts to their exhaust manifolds and they have a switch that controls it so they can slow down on hills. don't put that on your truck, you might ruin it. get a well known e cutout instead.

you could always fab up a cutout with that. it would require changing the fcked plate out and making a dump tube.
