Exhaust Cut Outs Give Your Vehicle a Split Personality

28 Nov

I’ve installed not one, but 2 exhaust cut outs on my #FairmontProject. The first cut out didn’t work out as well as I’d hoped. The second cut out, which I install in this video, worked out much better.

I will be making a video about the wiring and switch installation at a later date. Like I said in the video though, it’s really not difficult. All you need is power, ground, and a place to mount the switch. The rest is covered in this video.
