What would you guys do? im thinking about getting these electric cutouts

https://shop.quicktimeperformance.co...ct_detail&p=29

i like the fact that u can switch the sound back to stock, and wouldnt these make as much or more HP than aftermarket offroad H/X pipes and exhaus systems?

my differential might need to have the clutch pack replaced also, only 1 wheel burns out sometimes but its not usually a big deal or noticible.

what would you guys do?

If you're currently doing one wheel burn outs, i'd say that's a big deal. Use that cash to have that fixed!

i thought about gears but i didnt want to speedometer to be off.

these are the rebuild kits i found, id get the carbon disc one http://www.jegs.com/p/Ford+Racing/753282/10002/-1

anyways, after the differential is fixed -do you guys think the cutouts would gain as much or more HP than other exhaust setups?

Forget about the cutouts, it's a waste of time.

$500 bucks, it it to rebuild your differential first.

If not that then I would get gears and a tuner (which will also yield good gains and recalibrate your speeometer)

No to cutouts, the 4.6 needs a muffler to sound mean good.

I'd get diff fixed and some 4.10s.

I know my next mods are 4.10s and drag radials so I can finally hook in my car.
