Default Installed my cutouts today - VIDEO added

Cutouts from JEGS 2x $22.99
20 minutes work at local muffler shop $50
Everyone's heads turning on the way home.....P-R-I-C-E-L-E-S-S

I haven't run the car hard yet to see the power difference but I personally don't feel a torque difference at all.
The sound of the car now is absolutely amazing and yes there is a drone but I dont care. I can put the caps on the cutouts and go back to regular exhaust on long trips.

The exhaust now sounds like a big V8 and has a great deep gurgle sound.
I will try and get the minidvd cam at work figured out tomorrow and get some vids with them open and closed.

Finally got some vids done, here they are and hope you like them!!!

They bypass your exhaust. They can be opened at the track to run an open exhaust(no mufflers/cats) or closed to use your stock exhaust.

i just got mine installed today as well.. it definitely changes the sound at idle and the engine sounds a lot different with the cutouts open.. it definitely creates a **** load of drone though..... i had to put the caps back on going to work cause it was ridiculous

tomrrow I'll take some pics. I forgot to take them of my own car in the progress because I was enticed to look at this old camaro track car that was there. I'll crawl under and take some and hopefully get some vid clips tomorrow too. I have my cutouts staggered 3" away from each other right after the H-pipe. The only time I'm having drone is right at 2k rps. at 1900 and 2100 its fine but at that 2k mark my cars interior is all but falling apart there is so much drone. I love it though. It sounds evil, real evil.

do the Jegs cutouts have the electronic swithc or do you have to change them manually (aka crawing under the car)

Heres some pics. Hopefully the video is coming today or tomorrow.
The blue car was sitting there when I arrived at the muffler shop and I thought it was cool so I took some pics of it also.
