i have been looking at some for my 2011 but idk what the hell is good to bad.
my questions

pros and cons to cuts outs
who makes good cutsouts i dont want crap
and how hard are they to install by ones self in drive way. (i do have tools and the very mechanical person)

 

Cons: Sound like crap. Have a tendency to stick. Very high schoolish. Will not sound near as good as a decent exhaust setup.

Pros: Ya, I got nothing.

 

i had a set of manual wing nut style just cheap 20 dollar jegs one. i had them on my truck for a year they rusted really fast but never leaked.

E-cut out are PRICY anything 304 stainless should be good because it wont rust. also look at reviews to make sure they are sealing back up.

Pros: you can flick a switch and have open headers you can be heard from miles away.

Con: you can get a 500 dollar ticket.

 

Dude no one cares that you think a muffler free exhaust system sounds terrible. I don't think he would be looking at getting them if he didnt like the sound. I'm not trying to be an *** but....it gets old hearing you trash something A LOT of people love.

 

And to OP as long as you get stainless you are good. If you want electric summit makes a good product ive heard and QTP makes the best, again from what I have heard.

 

That was my honest opinion, in which I am entitled to. If you don't like hearing it, then don't read it.

 

I completely agree you are 100% entitled to it. Just gets kind of old...but hey its America haha even though in the past few years it damn sure hasn't seemed like it.

 

haha boss your right. and thanks guys for the help

and to all the haters of open headers
opinions are like a-holes everyones got one your just stinks

 

dmh performance . c o letter next to n

 

checkout quick time performance. i ran their electric cut out on my 1990 bronco, just ordered one for my 2005 f150 and ordered a pair for my wife's 2011. The bronco didnt sound to bad it had a single 3 in and was fun to hear going through the mud with no muffler. i never had the cutout on my bronco stick until i stuffed it full of mud. It lasted me 6 months. the cutouts should last longer on a street driven truck. the single 3" with the everything ran me 230 shipped.

 

I have heard nothing but bad things about electric cutouts, mainly claims that after maybe only a year they start leaking. I love my cutouts, they sound monstrous, a lot is due to my longtubes but anyway... I say do manual cutouts, bought my Stainless steel ones from summitracing and takes me maybe a minute and a half to take off or put on(Rmbr I have two sets since my truck is true dual). Plus the only way the manual ones leak is if the gasket gets messed up for some reason, which a gasket is way cheaper to replace than an electric cutout!

Hope this helps some...

 

My wifes uncle has a set on a 67 gto and it will make you want to **** your pants when you hit that switch and open up sitting at a red light! Thought about a set on my 04 just havent heard anyone running them. Its just my opinion but get them wth!!

 

i have a 1998 f150 4.6 with strait pipes with 3 inch tips at the end its not to load and does sound mean when you race engine up

 

A full straight pipe exhaust is going to sound alot different than a set of cut-outs.

 

i think it sounds better than cut offs hell its not so dam loud when you go down the road especially down the interstate
