Yo Brock,

Just a folllow-up to yesterday. . .Spoke to George Bagdasarian today. He

isn't selling any cutouts. What he installed was a J.C. Whitney cut-out with

flabber valve.  He thinks the one he has is a little chessy. Doesn't get a

seal, it leaks, etc.. He is developing a  ball valve unit but isn't ready to

sell anything to anyone.  .  .Yet!

Sounds like it's time to visit a fabricator/welder or use something similar

to the  Summit Racing unit with a removable collector plate.

Anyone else given this any thought?



P.S. Yo Richard,

Can't answer your question since the exhaust system I replaced

wasn't stock. My  GTS System is pretty         quiet. Definately quieter

with wrapped headers. To be honest though I like the idea of having open

headers             on tap. Don't ask me why, I don't have a logical

(sensible) response. I just dig the sound coupled with a         healthy

cam, ahhh, it's music to my stone deaf ears...
