Default 535i Custom Electric Cutout Exhaust

Hey Guys,

Just got my new custom exhaust setup for my 535i. Decided to swap the resonator and secondary cats for a 3in pipe that the either gets dumped straight back or by the flick of a switch, gets rerouted to the stock muffler with some new huge 4in tips. The sound is crazy good. Here are a few pics and a vid of the new setup. Sorry for the crappy video quality. Doesn't do the sound justice. Ill try to upload a better video tomorrow. Also huge thanks to Extreme Auto Works in San Luis Obispo for hooking it up with new system!

I have a similar setup, Only I left everything stock, Just installed the cutout.

By removing the resonator and secondary cats, Does the car sound louder when using the muffler, and cutout closed?

Where does the exhaust go when the cut out is open? Just dumps to atmosphere under the car?
