Look at it this way, you one less HMT memeber destroying the environment. Maybe it'll become the next trend ;)

How is open downpipe destroying the environment? ??? The only thing an exhaust does for the environment is make it quieter.

the cutout idea works..because your only destroying the environment when it's nessicary for racing

Explain to me how you would be destroying the environment with open DP. I've never heard of this.

i dunno... i thought about an e cutout over many beers and i decided against it. why not just have a well thought out simple exhaust system? if a turbo and muffler don't quiet it down enough for you just add a resonator or two.

one thing i didn't like about the E cutouts is that there seems to be reliability and longevity issues. i dn't know first hand but thats what i read, plus is alot of cash i don't have. The atp turbo actuator cut out looks pretty ------- sick though... again, money i don't have. I wouldn't even consider the manual cutouts... no use in having to tell the dude at the stop light that you have to pull over first.

thanks on the positive comments, i'm super happy with the muffler... my car feels soo much more stealthier, it feel more solid too for some reason, ---- isn't buzzing all of the time. I got it done today from this one oldschool hotrod guy that has a shop at his house. i was kinda scared at first b/c my friend recomended me to him. My friend said that he was a hardcore hotrod guy who hated hondas, but his prices where very cheap... so went anyway.
the guy turned out to be one cool MOFO... he even invited me back to hang out and drink beer. I asked him what he thought about all the hondas running around and he said that he didn't like them b/c kids now days don't understand ---- about cars, and that he would never buy one, but he said that he could appreciate some of the fast ones and how they are being set. very cool guy. :)
i like them oldschool hotrod guys, no static what so ever like some of the younger punks.

you could get one of the cable switch operaterated cut outs, and run the cable through the floor under the passenger seat. Mechanical= no electric motor to fail.
