I'd be interested in seeing how long that butterfly valve lasts...

how much gain did you feel?

I'm debating adding a cutout to mine but I don't know if it's really going to add any power with the stock restrction (stock pipe and muffler) right behind it. I've had a cutout before and I think any perceived added power was really just in my head due to the sound.

Delete the back cats but keep them, and run the cut-out before the cats! Done deal!

Yeah sorry I just re-read it and didn't understand it either!! Long day!!

This won't work if your still using the stock Y (unless you get two cut-outs), but you could run the cut-out before the cats, leave the cats in but just delete the Rear O2 sensors in the tune. That way when you open your cut-outs it will bypass the muffler and cats but won't effect the tune by scrambling the readings on your rear O2's.

What does the switch look like? The website says that you can either keep the remote i your pocket or mount it in the cab. Is the remote the only way you can open it?

Hope this one last better/longer than those of similar design, looks promising though!
