Standards?!?!? What exactly are you asking? They all sound the same with the same motor, it's basically open headers. I have a QTP SS 3 incher on my IROC...sounds good for about an hour, then it gets annoying lol.

i have the qtp also. Ive never had the car to the dyno to see if it adds any performance, but personally i love it. you can close it up in town to be quiet , or blip the switch to open it up.
or my absolute favorite is to drown out the fart can mufflers on some of the import guys.
Have a cutout on my 3 inch bassani catback and love it. With it closed the bassani is very quiet so I used to leave it open all the time. I would have it open for months on end and only cap it just for something a little different. But then it was back open again a day or so later.
dude cut outs are great. it so funny when a ***** pulls up next to you revs his engine , and you open yours up and it looks like they **** a brick. i will admit that after a cople of hours they do get annoying , but hell you close them and you have a full exhaust system.
Disconnect your downpipe/ypipe thats what it'll sound like. loud and obnoxious and amazing for awhile haha. I have a buddy that only has an open y-pipe and i love just revvin that **** around town...mine has a full stock exhaust on it, but when i upgrade it i plan on doing a electronic cut out as well.
It sounds friggin awesome!! I get smiles and people waving all the time when I drive around with my cutout open. The tone reminds me of an open header drag car. It sounds SWEET! Just after an hour like stated it gets to your ears.

I drove from california to south dakota once with just shorty headers and a y pipe on the camaro back when she had an 11:1 327 TPI. Needless to say I crushed the #7 exhaust valve spring and ruined an IAC valve. I personally love the sound of straight pipes/open headers. I would run them all the time if not for the hearing loss. I couldn't hear anything for at least a day.
I'll probably put some QTP cutouts on my 454 once the exhaust gets put together. You shoulda seen the look on that guys face in the s2000 when I revved it back at that guy. I don't think he'd ever heard a big block before in his life!
