Cut-outs installed

Followed Patches example and they turned out pretty nice for doing all the work in my garage with a hacksaw and a bench grinder. I went with the McCords and they work great. I did turn them rearward a little more. They sound awsome.

OK, dumb question here ... what's the purpose of cutouts other than more noise? I suppose they could allow more power since they bypass the mufflers.

Must be a good thing ... Patches has them.

The fun factor is the biggest for me, sitting at a light with a little fart-can revving up next to you and flip the switch and watch the look on their faces

They already have a screwy look on their faces when they see that blower sticking thru the hood

Hey, you and patches system looks great! How much time is involved in that? I'm looking to do it in the near future but want to know what I'm getting into first...
