Default Suggestion about Side Exhaust

I know some of you people out there like loud cars, just like me. I'm just letting you know that you can get the same noise or even louder noise from putting in exhaust cut outs for under car dual exahust (You would put the cut outs before your converters and after your headers). Another good benefit is that it would only cost you around $150 to buy and put in, instead of $1,000 (Unless you know how to weld and have the tools to cut the pipes, which in that case its only a minimum of like $50). And if you want an emission legal car you can just close the cut outs anytime you want, and them open them back up for the track or road.

P.S. - This is just what I think, and I just think of it as a way of saving around $900. :party:

Sure you can get the sound, but you'll NEVER have the look. To me there is nothing as impressive as a car w/ side exhaust. That , not counting the sound and performance, is worth the entry price to me.

:cheers:
