Stock everything with cutout???
OK I've done my research, checked ls1sounds.com, and still cant find any clips of a stock ws6 with a cutout. Anybody have a clip or can tell me why this is a good/bad idea? Or should I just wait till I get all new exhaust? Im not trying to gain a bunch (or any really) of hp, just wanting some more sound when I feel like it. Also, will this hurt performance? My dad worked for GM and is convinced that this will only hurt me because "new ls1's need back pressure!" Thanks guys!

My car was pretty much stock and I removed my Borla cat back and ran it like that for a while. I don't think it ran any worse, maybe lost a little low end if anything. It wasn't real loud while normal driving but at WOT it sounded like a Nascar! You could put a cutout in the I Pipe and would get the same effect...

The cutout won't rob you of any power, I had one in mine before the headers. It sounds pretty good really, definitely noticeable. If you really want a first hand impression just unbolt your stock y-pipe and fire it up. That will be pretty close to the sound of a cutout. Since you have a 2000 unbolting the y only takes 5 minutes (assuming the exhaust bolts don't break).
