Referencing an older thread - for those who want lots of sound without lots of bucks - trust me, this sounds fantastic! https://www.cadillacvnet.com/forums/threads/ct5-exhaust.2146/#post-22633

I dont know your car in particular, but i would suggest driving the car, and being a little careful to avoid the known issue- part throttle under mild to moderate load while the engine water temp is below 180. (driving up a hill/incline is typical) I don't drive my car aggressively until it is...

yes, obviously these tires are much more narrow than stock blackwing rear tires. in the snow, that is probably desirable. i can rotate them year to year this way

i am thrilled with the sound of the cutouts in this car just perfect for me. can modulate sound by spacing them. wide open at track was awesome too

The cut outs have a block off plate to cap Them off. The washers go under the plate to space it open a fraction of an inch to make some more noise. I’m sorry I don’t have an easy link, but there is a posting from me from about six or eight months ago that shows pictures and the description of...

Sorry this does not maintain the different sound modes, which are due to valves inside the muffler.

Look for my post many months ago. I put cut outs in front of the muffler. Cheap. Sounds amazing when wide open. I put washers as spacers under the block off plate for day to day. Then it’s loud but not too overwhelming. These are not electric valves. I just used cutouts.
