Default Exhaust Dumps!!

I just wanted to share this with you guys.. lol

This is what Exhaust cutouts sound like on a 2000 5 Speed GT. The car in the video is mine, before I put a normal Flowmaster exhaust and Magnaflow cats on. (The idiot before me had dumps in place of the cats)

Oh, and also what the TICKING noise the 4.6L's make... and what it can LEAD TO VERY QUICKLY. This is my car back when it had a spun rod bearing, I was in the car during this video while a mechanic listened to the noise.

I have my exhaust dumped after the mufflers before the axles with o/r x-pipes, I personally like it I just need to find a V6 bumper. Dumps in place of the cats is really dumb, there is no back pressure what so ever and you actually lose power what was he thinking?

Dumps are great. Cutouts, are not. I have both and I really wish I wouldn't have wasted the $50-60 on them. It sounds horrible.

Haha, I guess that explains it. If you watch the video.. yea. It sounds like a underpowered drag car or something. He actually set up some stupid cable operated pulley things that came up to the shifter bevel to open and close the dumps. They rusted off and the flap got caught in my exhaust and rattled around for while before I got annoyed and cut off the dumps and found the piece of metal.
