I seem to remember that guy saying he rigged a switch to pop those air bags in a update video he made.

I have a forged motor with cam and supercharger. No cats and 1 7/8 long tube headers.

QTP cutouts are placed right in line with the mirrors and its stupid loud.

Cannot really talk with anyone in the car at wide open. cruising around is actually fine, at idle the cam chop is sick. if you have the windows down and you are next to a barrier or wall....you will have temporary hearing loss

I rarely open mine 100%. I open them up until I like the sound with the windows open.

I only open mine when the pony boys are staring

This is the best way I can describe it because audio clips online are worthless, at least the were for me when I was considering it. On a scale of 1-10 with 1 being stock exhaust and 10 is you literally have to plug your ears cause it is so loud it hurts. I would rate it at a 7 with other exhaust systems like magnaflow or flowmaster around a 3-4.

Hope that helps you

exactly what i was looking for, thanks!

that makes sense, seems unlikely that a loud exhaust would deploy the airbags
