**jharders** · 05-21-2010, 10:02 AM

I have a 98' Trans Am Ls1 i would like to put Cut-outs on it. how hard would using the cut-out be on my engine. What are the effects.

only get 1 with your engine etc...get it put in at the I part of the Y pipe. there is really no negative effects in terms of engine etc. it will make everything shake and rattle tho ..at least mine did

No neg effects just shit gets louder. I put an electric cutout on mine and loved it being able to change the sound of my exhaust with the flip of a switch. I have pics if you need them.

One if mounted in the 'I-Pipe'. (Between the Y-Pipe & the axle.)
Two can be used if mounting into the Y-pipe, if considering you may have an aftermarket Y-Pipe to do that with.

would it be louder with 2, or 1, or no noticable difference?

I run one on the I pipe right in front of the back wheel. Easier to get the cover on and off. (too cheap to go electric.) If you want two you would need to go in front of the Y pipe.

Unless you have duals there's no point to have 2.

**Lunatikgixxer** · 05-21-2010, 08:14 PM

ya true, i cant decide to get a cut out since i already dumped money into a y pipe or if i should get TSP's true duals.

**blackbirdbrain89** · 05-21-2010, 09:46 PM

i have 2 on my y pipe and thats the way i like it... i have a pace setter y pipe and that thing sucked so i cut it up and tossed the cut outs on it..

One 3 inch cutout at the cack of the ypipe should exhale more exahust than you'll need unleed you have a big cam and heads car then maybe duals.

**Lunatikgixxer** · 05-23-2010, 08:26 AM

i think true duals is going on the car in the next couple weeks, a cam is in my future

Just finished installing a single DMH cutout on our car. Very impressed. Even with catalytic converters the car roars when you tap on the loud pedal. ORY cars must really sound nasty.
