Flowmaster makes good mufflers, their crossflow ones are crap though, I would know, a cutout for me should make a nice change

Put it as close to the cats as you can without setting off an "SES" (service engine soon) light. True duals are pretty nasty, if you are going to put a cut-out, and you have true duals; you should buy two exhaust cut-outs, otherwise, have one exhaust cut-out installed behind the passenger side seat. Don't listen to Ferocity02, he is a clown, but wait for other opinions and make your descion then. Good luck

Will adding cut outs after the cat make any gain?

Yup you'll see a gain even with the cats. The area under the passengers side rear seat is a great location.
