Open Borla vs. Cutout; Same Diff? After dynoing my LS1, I wanted to get my numbers up a bit (10HP) and wondered if it does any good to do a cutout when I'm running my Borla wide open.
Same concept right? I did notice though that exhaust poured out of the muffler side too at WOT on the dyno, even with no plates on the Borla. This made me think that a cutout (in the I Pipe) would free me up some.
Am I making sense?
Lemme know!

I think the I pipe location works best also. It avoids the over-the-axle bends.

Excellent figures. Especially thru the Macs.
Congrats! Take that puppy to Moroso already. The weather's great. I got a 12.1 sec run (with room for improvement... 11.99x here I come) in the other night.

Hmm. No 12 bolt or 9".... problem. I'd keep street tires on there for now and stay far, far away from Moroso.I'm runnin' Nittos on 4.10 & 10 bolt. Crossed my fingers on every launch (nothing passed 3000rpms) last Friday.
