Default ??cut-out/true dual gain for my application??

How much if anything do you think I'm leaving on the table?

I'm curious to know if significant gains can be had by doing a cut-out just after the "y" or running a true duel 2.5".

I'm assuming yes, just would like to here thoughts from others who have had experience.

Opinions welcome. Thanks.

TTS longtubes, gutted cats, y-pipe, borla wide open

forged 346, 9.1 comp, D1SC @ 13-14psi, H/C

614 rwhp/ 537 rwtq

Holy horsepower batman! With the kind of power you're making, you're leaving power on the table with anything less than a 3" y-pipe into a 4" catback or a 3" true dual setup. How much?.....I dunno.

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I figured that.

I'm really just weighing the hassle of changing the whole exhaust or just throwing on a cut-out.

Duals would be better but the cut-out will be easier. A potential problem might be "wacking out" the tune when it's open/closed. By how much, I'm not sure.

I'll probably just toss on a cut-out and see what happens.

Lol. Yeah that might be, but my wideband is mounted in the collector of the y. A cut-out/s before that will contaminate the reading.
