Default electric cutout

Hi everyone I'm new here and just trying to get some advice from more knowledgable tibby owners than myself Haha , i just put obx headers and a custom Cai intake on my 1.8 , I don't want the ricey sound all the time so I wanna put an electric cut out for more gains with option of stock sound , what do you think??

The headers and the CAI will both create noise some would call ricy. What exactly are you going to bypass with the cut out? Put a really big restrictive muffler to quiet the extra noise caused by the OBX then bypass that?

I basically want to be to choose when it sounds ricey , and I kinda Luke the sound of straight through over the coffee can, when I put the headers on i cut the 1st resonater off and replaced it with a piece of cheap flex pipe the only things the cutout would bypass is the 2nd resonater and the muffler
