Im running just cats and its loud and sounds good. Im running cats with 3 inch pipe going in to 4 inch tips. Next Monday my truck is going into the shop to remove cats. ill just have a 12 inch glass pack with no cats. It will be twice a loud as me just running with cats.

 

If you go with the pipe you will always have that loudness no matter what. The cutout lets you have the option of making the exhaust quiet if you want to like when you come into the neighborhood late or if you have kids in the truck.

 

My exhaust noise is not even loud inside my truck.

 

Get the cutout! I have a truck that's just straight piped and after an hour or two of driving you have a headache like no other. With the cutout, you can have it just as loud, and occasionally quiet when you need to. Check out www.dmhperformance.com

 

If you ever decide to get LT's you will be glad you have a cutout. LT's and straight pipes are enough to make you deaf in less than a week.

 

Ive been through every exhaust out there.....i settled with dual electric cutouts with flowmaster super44's. It is a little expensive but worth it.

 

Straights sound so dirty and if you come home late at night in your neighbour hood your neighbours will think your a douche canoe. Simple solution keep what you have and go cutout.

 

Yeah, you don't want to be that guy rolling in at 3am with the straight pipes blasting.

 

heres mine, i had the muffler dropped and a pipe in place of it at the time. stock resonators.

and all of you that are saying to go with a cut-out. make sure you check your laws first. I saw a guy get pulled over that i know has a cut-out and he opened it for a sec to rev it and he got his truck impounded. so i checked the laws. in almost EVERY state cut-outs and bypasses are prohibited.

 

They are illegal here in PA, but I have never been hassled about it.
