Default Qtp electric cutout borla?

I do have the adjustable borla cat-back, but does this really help that much in sound and power. I don't really see how it can be that much louder from where it is placed. Most of the sound exhaust doesn't even go through the muffler so yeah. Does anyone have any pics of this setup or anyone who has used this system just let me know.

A good place for a Cutout would be pretty much right after the Headers..that is if you want to open it up to get the Horse Power out of it. I used to have one just past my Y-pipe when I had that setup on..it definately made it louder..lol

Probably 10hp..I never had it dyno'd but that is the typical gain. I had a pretty well flowing exhaust setup.
