Well, not cut-outs, but dump-ish at least. Anyone done this? Seems like a brilliant idea, to be honest.

Edit: I thought you ment the bumper cut out, but anyways no, don't do it, it doesn't sound very good on our cars, it's a bit high pitched and ricy. Others might disagree but I've heard it in person so I know.

Well if you think about it, it isn't a TRUE cut out, it's like running dumps, in that it still flows through the muffler.
