I can't tell if that's sarcasm or not, but it's an electric cutout for the exhaust.
It replaces the downpipe and with a flip of a switch it'll re-route the exhaust to just that little tip.... basically the car is going to sound like a beast

Eh, not sure I ever talked to you about any cutout heh. I was wanting to do this ever since like 2years ago right when I bought the car new. I just never go around to doing it

DMH Electric Cutout. They shipped really fast! Ordered on Monday and got it on Wed. Also comes with a 4yr warranty. There's a video linked of the cutout in action on the top of this page.
