Default Question about catback with cutout

I have a e-cutout, ive had it for a few months now and love it. I wanted to know though is it worth it for me to get a different catback to go with my cutout or should I not bother. I have the longtubes and my stock catback, which when the cutout is closed its nice and quite, stealthy, open its nice and loud. I just wondered if I had a difference catback would it make a difference in power with the cutout open or would it not be that diff then what I have now since I usually drive with the cutout open anyways.

the catback is just along for the ride with the cut out open. if you like stealth you have your ideal setup.

The changes would be so small you wouldn't notice them..keep what you got now and save your monies.

if you're wanting to know if the catback will give you anything extra while the cutout is open, then no. as for whether you should still get a catback or not, that's entirely up to you....it will still give you a better sound and more power than the stock catback with the cutout closed, so it may be worth it to you, and it may not.
