got the corsa sport muffler for 300 shipped. its not confirmed just yet...hopefully nobody slipped under me at the last second. anybody have some cream for my rear? never thought id spend this much on a f'n muffler oh well, hopefully no resonance will keep the little lady in the passenger seat shut up....atleast until she finds out how much i spent on some "stupid *** pipes"

i hear all of the electric cutouts leak and fall apart.

DMH is suppose to be the best and they have a 3 year warranty I believe. I have no choice I have to have cutouts for the 408 to breathe properly and Im too lazy to get out and uncap tehm. Plus if I want to race someone I need to be able to uncap them while still in the truck.

Default Don't like the cutout

My electric cutout kept failing! So I got rid of it, and run no muffler at all!!

I love it now!

I am happy for you dude, if you love it then great. I have been on here for a while and everyone that has gotten one within a month or two they keep it capped for the most part. On saturday nights I would uncap it when I went to the races down in Galveston but other then that it would stay capped.

thanks, yeah i love the rumble ! i love sitting at a drive thru window and just hearing it bounce off the walls like bluh bluh bluh bluh LOL hahaha does having the cut out open help gas mileage at all, cuz my gas is going down very slow, which is great but im not sure if its just cuz im slowing it down or if the cutout is helping. thanks Justin

Yeah it frees up the exhaust so alot of people including myself have seen a mpg improvement but I couldnt stand having it open going down the highway so I capped it. At first I didnt notice a difference cause I couldnt keep my foot out of it.
