No back pressure, which makes the O2 sensor read wonky - not to mention will make the motor run worse just due to the lack of back pressure. Guys who are running the super loud flowmasters and cutting out the resonators are having problems. Lopping off the muffler entirely would be even worse.

One of you folks running this "upgrade". Just for grins, take your truck in an do 2 dyno pulls, one with the cutout shut and one with it open.

Is there any wiring involved, or is it all battery?

I don't think you'll have a significant decrease in performance (it might even gain a bit wot/~4K+ rpm), and the exhaust note will give you a feel of more responsiveness. Not the worst mod you could do, and kinda fun...that's what it's about anyway! I would imagine you'll get a little backfiring with it open though. Looks like a nice piece though, I like the remote idea over a dash mounted switch...I had to bookmark the page for next time I need one for a project!

Looks like a good way to poison everybody in the cab with CO. poisoning.
