Default cut outs are in !!

I just the cut outs installed behind the resonator a couple of days ago, and it sounds great. There is alot of resonance at 2000rpm around 60 mph( have 3.73s), but around 70 mph it is okay. i'm not sure, if i'm still going to get the power plates, but i still may in the future. I


just wanted to share, just in case otheres may want to do it.

i didn't buy the electric plates from mccord yet. i think i can live this sound. i'll try to record the sound. i used to have the flowmaster system on my car w/o cats, and it is a little bit loader than that system. i guess the cats and the resonator do cut some of the sound.

i'll keep you posted.

yea man, i've got em on my car too. i have hookers, into dual 3" pipes, into x pipe then cutouts. i kept the stock mufflers for a quiet ride, but have the electric ones for touch of the button fun. man it's loud. my advice would be not to buy the mccord product, i had to ship mine off 3 times to get fixed and no dice, finally just sold em as much as i could and got some QTP's i love em and they are much better quality. enjoy
