Question cut out opinions

I have the car in my sig with those mods. I plan on getting the Magnaflow Catback and was thinking of putting in a manual cut out while I was at it. That will be all my mods for a year or more at least major ones because of being in school. I was thinking of doing the cut out because I have heard the Magnaflow Catback is on the quiet side and every now and then I will want it to be loud and to get a little bit of a performance gain out of it like at the track. Is the cutout worth doing or not, and where can I get the cheapest manual one? Thanks guys!

Also I saw the other thread about electric versus manual and thought my situation was different enough for another thread.

Cut outs are fun, but I would not waste my time with a manual one. Reason being is having to craw under the car to remove the plate. It's a pain in the *** and either you will never use it or you will open it up and never close it.

I love my QTP

Magnaflow has the option to be quiet or really loud depending on the type of CATS used or having a ORY pipe.

I have a corsa, thus no need for it but on my old LT1 I had a Flowmaster with a QTP elec cut out, I loved it. My Bud runs a Borla with one, another ideal situation

if i get a magnaflow how much gain will i see with the cutout open and i cant decide between these two.

this one: http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...b9b30c76c823dd

or this one thats stainless: http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...b9b30c76c823dd

with the second one i could add the QTP electric valve later if i wanted and it is stainless like the magnaflow catback. so do you think there is any extra power to be gained with a cutout over the magnaflow catback and which one would you guys pick up? Thanks
