      Re: exhaust

      I was wondering that too. Hopefully I can generate some more dollars, and have a bit to spend on my car this summer. I need to do exhaust, but I'm not as much looking forward to it (except for headers, they're pretty tight), since I won't be welding it. I like parts I can install myself. Its kinda impersonal to buy crap and drive down to the muffler shop to put it on. I kinda like the way flowmasters sound, but I don't like hearing that they rust. The other options are more expensive, kind of a bummer since I also wanted to try some engine rebuilding and it looks like exhaust is going to wipe out my budget. How much is a cutout?

          Re: exhaust

          a cutout is a part of your exhaust pipe that when open, allows the exhaust to flow out freely, depending on where you put it, you could skip your whole catback. A lot of people have electric ones but there are manual ones too. The upside to a cutout is that its the most free flowing exhaust system possible- which is great (unless you've bought into the backpressure myth). The downside is that on our cars, it would probably sound like crap, though I hear if you leave it just crack open so that most is going through your muffler, it will sound good.

          found one on ebay, manual, for $56 (including shipping). Hmmmmmmm

                  with the cutout on the I-pipe, the exhaust path is split about 75/25...about a quarter of the exhaust vapor still goes thru the muffler

                          well people say they rust easy. but personally, i just dont like the flowmaster sound at all.

                          but hey, its all about what you think sounds good on your own car

                            poor flow compared to other mufflers, longevity issues, sound quality....take your pick

                              I have one, and I love the sound, but I can see where longevity could be an issue there.
