Default will a more restrictive exhaust hurt my tune?

I currently have a lm1, which i cant stand. Car has boltons and a fairly large cam. If i put the stock muffler back on will it affect my tune? Maybe cause a lean or rich condition due to the difference of air i am moving? I am doing an electric cutout at the same time. But it will be closed for probably 80% of my driving

Borlamouth will tame it down quite a bit. I have an LM1, I know what you mean.

I just want my car to shut the hell up. I want it loud when i want it, and extreme quiet the other times. My car is EXTREMELY LOUD. Anyone know the answer about the tune?

How big of a cam do you have? You have cats?

I dont think it will do anything to your tune. Theres plenty of tuned cars with cut outs that dont have tuning issues. I would just add a muffler to quiet down. Maybe a spiral flow or dynomax muffler on the I pipe. Or you can put a stock muffler and run a cut out and be a sleeper.
