Now consider this....bear with me, I'm in CA.

If I have a fully legal setup, no LT's, cats, etc. And I want to have the cutouts for the track, is it illegal to have them installed? Or is it still legal to have them closed?

I really want that sound. My dad has the Cobra, and though it wont ever match that, it will sound close. I heard a termy with cutouts....damn that thing was loud.

Any problems with backpressure running cutouts?

In Ca, I am pretty sure (Not positive) that they would be semi legal to use only if mounted after all the cats. Any circumventing the cats = illegal here. However, they still might not be legal due to: noise laws, and not clearing exhaust gasses away from the passenger compartment. Maybe if the cutouts led to side exhaust you might be able to get around the exhaust gas issue, but the noise thing would still be present. It would probably boil down to how **** the cop was who caught you with em.

RE: cutouts

Well if I had them, I wouldn't use it on a daily basis. Just at meets and shows and cruises, and ofcourse when I take it to the road course (willow springs).

I would probably keep them closed 95% of the time. Except maybe if a ricer is pissing me off.
