here is the answer...proven on the track with my car from one pass to the next...with it closed it ran a 110mph and with it open it ran 112mph...these were back to back with same 60fts the car is an auto so no error there either...this was on a SI with a completely stock exhaust and a 3.5" cutout mated to a 3inch cutout for max flow...it is definitely worth it cant argue with 20hp difference on a SI car...will be even more on a cam or spray car

I picked up .2 at the track, and see no real reason to put the cap back on. I am currently running stock manifolds, High flow cats with a Magnaflow muffler. It will be on the dyno in early april I'm going to try it with and without just to see the results.

It seems the 400rwhp is the key where people actually gain power from a cutout. Our catbacks can be restrictive to a certain point, but with bolt ons it really isn't all that restrictive.

oh, and I hate you for dyno'ing higher than me with +/- same mods.

With my bolt on only car I have cutouts right after the headers. I lost .2 in the 1/4 and 1 mph. With comparable 60' times on back to back runs. I'm hoping with the cam in the car it'll pick up power, but I'm skeptical
