First Generation '13 R-spec cutouts vid.

I posted it in another thread. But I re-installed my cutouts. Unfortunately they are stuck wide open

I hear crickets.
I am taking the cutouts off tomorrow. The car sounds good. But too loud for all day everyday. Until I get my wiring gremlins sorted out and figure out why the damn cutouts won't close

The Tau V8 sounds mean as hell with cutouts but having been there done that with another car I too would find it too loud. If a budget allows for it I would do a mild setup like the Dynomax VT's (just mufflers, all OEM cats in place) combined with cutouts for the occasional loud day. That way you've got a reasonable volume most of the time, nothing too loud but still something there to let you know there's a V8 under the hood even with the cutouts closed.

That's exactly the same sentiments I have and exactly what my plan is.
The car just sounds too damn good to not have the option to open them wide open. But I like it's quiet sleeperness as well.
