They are really nice aren't they.... Wait til you sneak up on an unsuspecting car with it closed and then pop it open and floor it... I never get tired of the looks they give me...

It is one of the best mods you will probably ever do, it is so nice to hear that exhaust without any muffler or resonators. Can't wait to hear the sound clip.

Go check out some of the sound clips I posted up, those are with the cutout open. Also keep in mind that it does not block gasses from going through your muffler when it is open so that mellows it out slightly from just running straight pipes w/o a muffler.

I have a Super 44 that I put on before I got the cutout. The cutout is a lot louder than the Super 44, but sounds a lot better, and has a better tone than the Flowmaster. Personally, I think the cutout is much better, soundwise, than any muffler I have heard. It's not too loud at idle, but once your around 2k rpm, it gets loud, and around 5k, it sounds like a stock car. To me, it doesn't have a raspy sound, and there doesn't seem to be that much drone either, it's just a nice deep, muscular sound.
