Why? Just to be obnoxious sounding and illegal while gaining no power?

Every dyno comparison I've seen shows a decent gain with cut-outs opened.

ive seen 17-20 hp so far,while doing researchDepends on what power level they're at. At 400rwhp, the stock G8 GT axle back mufflers cost you 4-5rwhp. At 500rwhp, they cost you closer to 13-15rwhp. So if you have just bolt-ons and are internally stock, cutouts are mostly a sound mod and not a performance mod.
