Back in the day they made cable operated exhaust cutouts
Do you realize how loud a open header 5.0L V8 is?
My stepson drove a 97 Sploder 5.0l back here to the house yesterday, he towed it to the gate, unloaded it then drove it the two miles to the house.
He took the secondary cat converters out before trading the truck to me
...so its basically open exhaust behind the down pipes... we could hear that explorer coming for 10 minutes before he got here, my neighbor and I both had our sidearms out figuring it was some lost red neck in their mud bogger up to no good....nope it was mystep son in my new V8 sploder we horse traded for.....
LOUD and NASTY that's how stock v8 sounds with no muffler
Your 07 is going to sounds like a hot rod V8 ranger with a nice tuned exhaust.....
I would be happy to install some cutouts, from what you tell me about some of your neighbors it might be just the ticket!!
