Default Swapping turndowns for borla catback questions

My TSP x pipe and true duals before the axle are pretty loud for the street and neighborhood.How much power will i loose swapping to a borla catback?
I had a borla catback on my old 99SS and loved the tone.I also had a QTC electric cutout on the passanger side where the plates go.I could also do cutouts in the ypipe.

Smart move?

why not keep the setup you have now and just add piping out the back?

I had a turndown before the axle in my truck. it was crazy loud inside and out of the car.

adding piping and tips quieted it down inside by 60% or so and it was also a bit quieter outside since the sound isnt echoing off the ground and the bottom of the car.

Just go with E-Cutouts. Just remove a cat and place it there

the borla actually makes pretty good power
will probably drop you to 450/440, and IMO that is worth it, I have a borla on my car

Is those numbers with the plates/cutout open?

To be honest the cutout is worth 2-3hp at the most, I have run back to back with it open and closed and it didnt make a difference
