Exhaust question
In the near future, I'll be taking my Truck in to get some new tips/hangers ect.
I've seen on other Hot Rods (forgive me it the verbage is not correct), but they have "Cut-Outs" hooked in with the exhaust. I'm assuming it replaces the tireless chore of getting under the vehicle and manually unbolting/uncapping the Headers. So then (after installattion), if you want to uncap the Headers you just flick a switch or pull a cable and the exhaust is routed right from the Header out this opening. I'm looking for: 1)What its called? 2)Do you have it on YOUR Truck? 3)How does it sound? 4)What was the cost? Pictures would be an added extra too!  Roger "RATIKLE"

Re: Exhaust question
Electric would be cool but if you ever have failure then it's broke and I"assume" expensive to fix.A cable should be available anywhere and easy to replace.This is just my opinion and I really like things simple(to match my mind).

 I even saw some that (although you still need to lay down, the caps are just held on with 3 "Wing Nuts". Of coarse I'd cary extra, because I'd always be concered about them vibrating off. Roger "RATIKLE"

Re: Exhaust question
I saw somewhere that the electric ones have a plastic gear that melts and has to be replaced.

Re: Exhaust question
The cable type does not seal well and the diverter fap inside will rattle and clang as the cable lossens up. I had a set in high school and while cool the cable type are not worth the headache.

The Electric is just too rich for my blood right now, and the fact of the "plastic Gear" or something "Failing" while on a road trip, doesnt excite me. I like the one thats a Manual and comes with a tool for taking the 3 Wing-Nuts off. See Them here at: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Hedma...Q5fAccessories I'll be getting a new set of Tires this Friday and will be stopping by my Favorite Custom Muffler Shop afterwards. Thanks for all the input! Roger "RATIKLE"
