LS1 + cutout = awesomeness
First and foremost I'd like to thank Mighty Mouse and my buddy Mike for giving up some of their time and doing a great job on the install. I couldn't be happier.
I bought a DMH cutout to get some more noise as my Hooker muffler is pretty quiet, and at first I was afraid that it was going to sound shitty and be too loud to have open when just driving around town, but I could not be happier. It sounds mean and it's not so loud that it gets annoying.
My catback flows pretty well but I seem to notice a little more power. I'll have to wait and see how much I gain at the track with it open.
IMO if you're running a conventional y-pipe setup with a quiet muffler like a Hooker or Magnaflow, an e-cutout is a must-do mod.

I couldn't agree more, I love the way a cutout sounds. My QTP crapped out after 6 months and I left it open. Sounds good on the outside but driving it on a daily basis I eventually grew tired of the drone. Switched to a LM1 and am very satisfied, still sounds mean as hell.

My car with stock manifolds and no cam sound pretty good. Once I put the cam in and the headers on, it got rid of the rasp and I have had like 5 compliments this summer my exhaust. Little to they know its just a cutout. I love the way my sounds.

My cutout was capped at the time, but have an electric one now. You never know when you could go through a long tunnel on a road trip.

Loved my Electric DMH. Some of the best $$$ I ever spent and it's ultimately what landed me my sexy little fiancee because as soon as I hit the switch her panties hit the floor.
I'm putting one in the WS6 during my cam swap here soon. Can't wait to have that sound back!
