Why cutouts make you act like a 5 year old.

We were coming back from dinner last Friday night...goofing around. And I just couldn't help it.

I know. All I do is just keep laughing at our voice overs. Brandy USED to hate it when I'd open them up...now she's starting to find the fun in it.

You heading over to B.I. tomorrow for the dyno day gig?

Great fun! I would be doing the same thing if I had cutouts only my wife would be saying "are you ever going to grow up".

Yep - that Carrera dude is dead. http://www.carzi.com/2010/06/27/vral...enge-accident/

If they freeze open...don't worry too much - apparently the motor is just a simple GM window motor. Shouldn't be too tough to fix.

Details - we installed them (electronically controlled cutouts) immediately after the long tubes... With a flick of the switch (hidden in my storage box under my seat), the servos open up the flaps and make the exhaust wide open. Close them back and I've got a relatively quite exhaust that doesn't draw too much attention.

You pwned that restaurant There's a lambo that does it all the time in downtown LA. It's good to see people still know how to lighten up and have some fun in this day and age of cranky old baastards and soccer mummies.

He didn't "pwn" anything.

He just managed to get about 20 people enjoying a nice dinner to think some clown in a mercedes is juvenile and perhaps retarded.
