    I have long tubes with no cats and dual exhaust. When my cutouts are open at the track it runs .2 or .3 tenths faster. I think that guy was full of ****. Plus when the cutouts are open it gets a TON of attention.

    Well that sounds worth it. Hmmm might have to add that to the list or crap I wanna do.

    If you get dougs or the high dollar ones I heard those dont leak. My exhaust sounds like ass anyway, real quiet, but I dont mind.

    man my truck right now is freaking loud you can't even tell if i had an exhaust leak! I have a single muffler not dual, just a dual 3inch tip out the side! so thats why i thought i could do cut-outs and get some better times!
