Can we pass inspection with cut-outs?
I added a Moroso Spiral flow to my exhaust to bring the noise down, now it sounds like a normal V8. It's not bad, but definitely not very mean  I'll try to get it dyno'd again to see what affect it has, but I'm thinking about adding an electric exhaust cut-out to get some ponies back when I want them.

brianterry had one on his T/A, when closed it channeled the gasses thru the muffler, when it was open, it went straight out....as long as it's closed and doesnt leak, I dont think you will have an issue

Thats a darn good question. I have not heard of anyone having problems passing with one. However, I have read the inspection regulation and it so no cutouts can be used. I will probably be testing that reg in the next few months so let me know how it goes  .

Bringing this back from the dead.
I've tried looking for the inspection regs, I had links saved but they no longer work. Anybody have good links? Is it AER 190-1?

Thanks. Apparently my internet connection just sucks. Every time I try and download a file, my connection gets re-set.

It says no cut-outs, but I have not heard of anyone failing yet. I'll be able to tell you in about a month!

Cool, I guess I can wait a month  I don't have much room left on my I-pipe so I'm thinking about placing one where the pipe turns to the muffler.

It may be a bit longer because it is shipping from the states. I will let you know though.
Did you get your pinion angle guage?

Yeah, its an electric one already fixed in place of the Borla plates. I am hoping they will miss it or I can hide it

You could just swap it out with the Borla plate (without the hole) and it will be all good and quiet enough I guess.

It shouldn't be very noticable with the Borla set-up. I should have just bought one of those instead of adding a bullet muffler
