Default Electric Cutouts...z06

my vette has BB bullets, and headers...

it's just not loud enough sometimes, but I enjoy how it sounds 90% of the time....

would putting electric cutouts before the mufflers be worth doing? anyone done this?

WHY? Just make a tape/CD of a dragster and play it when you feel the need.

I'm sorry for the poke but these kind of questions boggle me. Are you asking if anyone has ever done electronic cutouts before or if they liked them?

Yes people have installed them and yes they have liked being able to flip a switch at will. Do a search some of the cut outs are better than others.

I'm just asking if anyone here has them or would recommend them.
