Default Magnaflow and Cut Out?

As of right now I have the magnaflow cat back on my car.

I read somewhere that it has been shown to flow within 1hp of a cut-out.

Question is, would it be worth it for me to get one? Sound doesnt really matter much to me, it's the extra hp that Im looking for.

TIA

I wouldn't bother. The guy that tuned my car had just done a similar setup and back to back he said the guy only gained 5hp with the cutout over the ory and Mag. This was with no cats.

Unless you're doing the cutout for the loudness.

On your set-up, it won't make a difference a big difference. Get a H/C or get a bigger motor, then the magnaflow will not flow as well a cut-out.
