O.....M....G

I am running catless(test pipes) as of tomorrow and started today by removing the cats. By the time i'm done i see the garage door cannot close and i have to move the car forward. I was considering pushing it but being the lazy bastard i am i decide to actually turn it on(catless already=open header).

Before i do so i take a quick walk around my house to see if my family was still there, maybe sleeping. Nobody home? Ok..Lets proceed.

So then i walk to my car, put the key in and kee kee kee kee BBBBB BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM. I could have sworn there was an explosion in my home. Especially since the car was in my garage, my jaws dropped and i move it forward quck and turn this beastly thing off. I feel nervous(what a moron). .....

Ok maybe it was cool so then i decide to turn it on again and give it a light rev. I already learned my lesson knowing this tactic with the door opened is beyond healthy for the human ear. So then i close my car door and rev it to 4k. Response is crazy. Interior resonance is crazy. You can feel and hear the difference. I have never heard a louder car before in my life. And i thought it was pretty cool. I wonder if that sound closely resembles the JGTC VQ. Anyways just wanted to share.

 

done that before when i was bolting up my exhaust for ***** and giggles. yea it sounds crazy. someone on the forums has electronic cut offs. if you like it that much search it, they are pretty cheap and would give that to you whenever you want.

 

They're fun cause when there's a cop around I use to rev at them and as soon as they would drive past me I would close it. Great for scaring ricers too.

 

Cut-Outs are as old as the hills. When I was a kid - in the 50s, they were mechanical. A trap door device on the pipe or pipes controlled by a dash **** hooked up to a cable. Sort of like a choke **** and cable (If you guys know what a choke is. Anyway, nothing new.

I took off my yoshi slip-on on my vfr and rode around, sounded mega mean, way to loud and produced no power over 7000rpms, but passing a mini van at dusk, seeing the flames in the reflection of the van and everyone ducking for cover in the van was priceless......

My brother and I did a header install on his Hemi Ram and had to run it open headers until we could get the cat welded back on. It was the loudest thing I have EVER heard. Its not a Z, but it was loud as **** and sounded mean.
