Default Found a deal

So I jumped on it. Got a stock exhaust off of a 2001 'Maro SS with a cutout in place and nice aftermarket tips for VERY cheap. I'm going to be getting a Magnaflow muffler for my birthday in a week, and then have it all welded on, also I'll get my headers installed. Just thought I'd let you guys know whats been going on in my neck of the woods.

A cutout on a 3.8 isnt going to sound the best, but hey, might give you a couple ponies at the track

Thats what I'm shooting for. I'm not going to be one of the guys who drives around with the cutout open all the time. Even on a V8 it's borderline over the top noise wise.

I personally would like an electronic cutout just to use at idle to make my cam sound even meaner

Which reminds me, is there a kit or anything I could buy to make the cutout electric? I've been looking but no luck.
