Loss Of Power????? I recently had true duels all with mandrel bends, x pipe, borla xr1's with 3 inch piping....My car rand great, sounded great, and had plenty of go go from 1st on out...car is a 6 speed...I put a drive shaft safety loop and tq arm relocation kit on the car and had to change my exhaust...Now we have 3inch piping, almost straight pipes(slight bend or two) from the headers to the rear axle, dumped with borla XR1's.....car is alot quieter(you wouldn't think that) and it lacks the power from takeoff...I know I lost some from the bottom end beacuse of the loss of the x-pipe. If I put duel electric cut outs, would I gain or bennefit from this? I'm just getting some other oppinions..

need to retune due to less back pressure. almost like going from stock exhaust manifold to headers except td's give more free flow and cutouts will only help at top end wot..... .02
