Anybody running an electric cutout with the OEM exhaust system???
Just was curious if anybody is running an electric cutout/cutouts (I.E. DMH) on their volvos with the stock exhaust system. I kind of like the factory system for the fact that my s80 is a luxury car, and I like it quiet for driving around town.
However, I'd like to be able to get some growly sound from the engine as well when I feel like it. A possibility was either just put it right before the cat with a dump pipe, or be a little sneaky and run some bent piping on the opposite side of the exhaust system and exiting at the same style of tip etc. to make it look like I have a dual exhaust, but one would be for quiet and the other would be for loud.
The cutout option seems like a nice and affordable exhaust upgrade option for me. I also like the idea because I live in sound-police Southern California. They'll bag you if you have aftermarket systems if they pull you over. This way, I can turn the sound right off when I want to go somewhere quietly or keep the sound police at bay.
Anyone done this before? Opinions? Suggestions? any pics or videos?
Thanks!

So what about a cut out on an 02 S60 2.4T AWD. I'd love to have the sound and the power boost.
