Default Electronic exhaust cutout?

Well, I got pulled over last night for "thumping music and an illegal exhaust" according to the cop what a fucking prick! I was wondering, if any of you have seen the cheese frog vids, how he has stock exhaust but can run open at the flick of the switch, where can you get this? Just looking into it as a possibility....or is this for turbo only (hence him running opendown pipe )?

TIA,
MAtt

They sell electric cut outs you can weld in somewhere on your exhaust, just run a google.com search and you should find some.

If you did that with an all motor car, not only would it be sickly loud, but I think that would be too little backpressure? (correct me if I am wrong) Google up e-cut out. There are several quality products out there. I think nchatch (?) did a write up on one in the Power adders section.

Maybe for a 4 banger listen to mine it opens like 30 seconds in. Sickly load is a good thing Especially when you can turn it off (close it)

yeah, thats why I wasn't 100% sure, it would be insane loud I'm sure, and probably not worth it....maybe if I'm able to go turbo some day *sigh*.......

Yeah a lot of non-induction ricer boys are losing torque with untuned BIG exhaust.

More HP is fine but... at the expense of torque, which most overhead cam cars are hurting for anyway, is not worth it.

Well...a four banger is what we are referring to. Also...most all sickly loud hondas sound like shit.
