Lots of things are illegal you just have to have enough money for someone to do it. 👍🏻

Electric cutout motors fail.

I opted for a cable driven one. Open for track days closed for street.

And yes bumper doesn't melt. Tested on track already.

Did you just weld it off the pipe going from muffler to the midpipe?

So let me get this right, you paid over $600 just to change your sound?

That's the only benefit for a lot of exhaust on our cars and there is more then a few over $600.

Total cost for parts and labor was 200$

Cat backs make 0 power. Why bother buying one?

catbacks do add power, however SOUND does not. i would rather spend the $200 on items that actually benefit the car in performance, suspension, exterior, interior and etc.

The 1-5HP catback claims fall into regular dyno variance.

then get rid of your catback then and focus on the sound.

Has anyone had and issues with bumper melting? I'm asking because I am considering doing this on a turbo setup. I'd like to run the stock catback exhaust to keep the noise level down while opening the cutout for track events.
