Hey,

Summit Steel cutouts, Right after the headers, or after the H crossover?

Which would sound better and gain more?

Thanks!

Seems like that would sound better, i have heard that you want them as far back as possible, but Summit says right after the headers

I don't know which would give you more power, but I say if you're gonna be loud, be loud as Fcku.

After the headers....the only reason would be to run open headers, and open H sounds like crap.

I think there is something more to it then that. I know old timers with hot rods used to paint exhaust then run it till the paint melted off. where the line was was where they cut there exhaust. my bro inlaw has cut outs and they are right after headers.

I have mine right before the H-pipe, pretty much where cats would go, it's nice, it's LOUD and sounds like a prostreet car. It's fun.

Click to expand...

Doesn't matter how many said it, I said it and therefore that is how it should be


Just kiddin...but it would be kinda silly to put them after the H.
