There seem to be regular questions about cut-outs on here, so I thought I'd post a short vid; my bone-stock LT1 with 135K in bad need of plugs/tune with the cut-out open.
It's a good, fun mod; glad I did it, I get lots of questions/compliments on it.
Definitely need to tune that thing up man. It would sound a lot better without all the ticking that goes with the reving.
thats an old vid from last year...it sounds much better now since i changed my cap and rotor but Im still getting the random misses...just dont know why though...i'll put up a new video soon
had the same thing on mine. Ended up being an old timing chin with a lot of slack in it. not to mention an ate the hell up cam and 6 seized lifters. gl on finding the miss

im not an expert but just wanted to let you know that if you are still on stock manifolds and y-pipe and have the cut outs before the cat/cats... im pretty sure that the stock parts arent made to run open like that... they dont create enough back pressure... again im not an expert just dont want to see you mess up your car for a frivolous reason... can anyone else chime in on this...
I hate the way cutouts sound and I even have one...

uh.. stock manifolds well have allot more back pressure than headers
really and truly I used to like my cutout but now Im getting tired of it so, when I get some funds im going with SLP no matter how much people say they sound like shit

Unless you drive a prius hybrid with 20 cats and 10 horsepower, fuck back pressure.

hot damn!!! I hope my problem doesnt go that far or else I will be in a shithole since this is my only car...i was told by different people that is was an exhaust leak, intake leak, o2's, bad cats etc. I just dont even know where to start. 1 of these days I will take it to a mechanic and let them scan it and see whats up
