If you're getting it for "the sound", then forget it. Cut-outs are more for performance than sound! [img]smile.gif[/img]Mustangs.. Come to the darkside...<br /><br />The dark side is the path to the shadow of greed. =D

The thing is dude. You may not want it loud all the time. Which is why a cutout can be great. I got a 3inch american thunder system with a carsound cat and all that. I wanted loud at the time. But now it's not so great. Your spending so little money on a cutout, what $20? and maybee $30 for the install? and you can cap it up anytime you don't want it loud. I'd do it, just don't replace the cat with it or anything. I'd put it right before it goes over the axle.

A cutout is best placed pre cat so you are running open headers. If you have the carsound cat with the sensor boss in the back of it. Just connect the cutout to the y-pipe and attach the cat to the cutout. Run the exhaust from there as normal. It will get more flow and more HP that way. Personally I'd also O2 sim the sensor too.

this is not always true, especially if you want it for sound, cuz this setup will sound HORRIBLE.This revelation, is the death of ignorance...<br /><a href=\"http://www.quicktimeperformance.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.quicktimeperformance.com</a>

Doesnt sound Horrible. Just raspy at high rpms. I have is set up precat also (pre-where the cats supposed to be). Any ways, truth be told, you dont want a cutout for the sound. Use the cutout when you are racing. I gain .3-.4 when i open the cutout.
If i could i would go back to my stock exhaust with a cutout. that way i would be able to hear while im driving, but still have a fast car at the track.1996 CamaroRS <br />15.5 @ 86<br />Sold<br /><br />2000 Z28 Convertible 3700lbs<br />Lid, Cutout, yank 3600 Stall, built trans, snall cam, NX Wet kit.<br />11.3 @ 118<br />Best 60\' is 1.58<br />497 RWHP 475 RWTQ
