Re: Western Off Topic
I go to school at Ferrum College, when I go home for spring break i'm going to install a catless downpipe with cutout on my caliber srt4. Living back home at Williamsburg, I doubt i'll be able to drive with the cutout open too often. Being a lil more "rural" in western, how strict are the cops on exhaust loudness?

I take longer routes to avoid the county and anywhere state police might be. Avoid vinton at all costs. Salem and roanoke city have never given me a problem before, but some cars definitely do get picked on more than others.

Salem has changed in the past year or so....it seems they've gotten a lot more lenient on things. I used to get pulled over for exhaust, ride height, no front plate, tint everything. Now they don't even give you a look.

When I had my srt4 I was running a catless downpipe and the previous owner had a 3 inch pipe coming out under the rear driver side door. Damn thing sounded like a dumptruck. If I went through a drivethru I would literally have to turn the car off because the people inside couldn't hear me. I never had a problem out of any of the police except a state trooper buddy of mine that has given me at least 5 exhaust tickets on different cars.

Re: Western Off Topic
Only disadvantage is they don't fully open until you start making a little boost,so if you've got a restrictive exhaust that may be contributing to lag,you still won't get the advantage of an open exhaust at initial tip-in.Probably not an issue in reality though.
Ive seen those, I plan on getting the electronic opener on the cutout like this one

The Doug's Headers cutouts are kickass.They're a guillotine style,so the door slides in a track and completely covers the opening.When open,the cutout is completely unobstructed,without a butterfly valve in the way.
Only problem is last time I checked they were like $250+,and I'm not sure the company is even still in business,haha.

Re: Western Off Topic
Not to mention every single one of the electric ones fails sooner or later, usually sooner!
The vac/boost ones I've seen are on ATP's website, but they're never in stock, almost like they quit making them.
My car personally has a massive Magnaflow muffler on it. It's pretty quiet, and painted black is still quite stealth. The exhaust on my car came from a car making over 650whp, so it still flows fine. If you can fit one under there that's the way to go.
