Talking My teaser for ya guys :D

SO, iv'e been wanting to do this for AWHILE now and it finally got it done dammit LOL!! Was a pain in the ***, but more than worth it in the end. This is my teaser for now...

I'm still working out a few kinks here and there, but a short summary for now is that it totally changed the way I think about the car. I'm travelling to London next week, but will definitely have a full write up with all the details and good stuff later. Along with more videos and pics too. Stay tuned!

I saw that on ebay last night. I take it you installed this? GSP V2 3" 76mm Exhaust Downpipe Testpipe Catback E Electric Cutout kit w/ Remote. I couldn't help but think. "what's the point?" Does it give you any extra horses or is it just the noise you like?

Nat he has a switch hook up to an electronic cutout. Probably right before the muffler. When the cutout is opened up the exhaust exits at that point. Then when he switches it closed the exhaust goes through the muffler. All controlled electronically. The old school way was to crawl under the car and open the cutouts by hand...most of the time there were wing nuts capping the cutout.

very very cool. You solved the exhaust drone issue. Cruise at stock and open it if you want to add a little sound or grunt. Very cool. Did you install yourself?

Lol I guess I should of said what exactly I did. Is 2 Qtp electronic cutouts mounted right after the cats. And yes that blinking light is a blackberry sound streaming device and the switch is used to open and close the cutout.

How and where can I get one of those Blackberry Bluetooth devices. I'm assuming it's for Audio?
