Default Dont flame me on this question

With stealth in mind, 5-600rwhp, electric exhaust cutouts, headers. Will I see any problems with keeping the original muffler system that my coupe has now. Excessive back pressure, etc. I know it has to breath, but when I NEED to have full power, I can open the exhausts. Hope this is not that dumb of a question.

Nothing wrong with that.

What I did is install cutouts along with the Z06 exhaust which is stealthy but sounds healthier and is lighter than stock. Looks better too but it doesn't scream aftermarket like the other systems I've had. Cutouts kick azz too.

Is there a way to put cut-outs between the headers and cats? To me that would make the most sense if you can get them to fit. SLP headers look to be short enough, what does everybody think?

I like this alternative to going with off-road pipes, smells way better and you still have the power at the flip of a switch.
