Default Anyone tuned a cutout before?

Basically like the title says. I have an 02 z28, stock manifolds and piping with a welded in cutout and flowmaster. I really like the sound of the flowmaster but its not really loud. I open the cutout and its definetly loud enough just not sure I like it. I like it at idle and it sound sick at WOT but I dont care for the drone at cruising speeds or light acceleration. Also the previous owner said that the cats had been gutted. Has anyone had any luck tuning a cutout. I welded up a turndown for it but it really didn't make a difference. I thought of making some different designed plates for it but havent started yet. Anyone tried anything. Thanks for looking.

Put in an electric valve, and you can tune it based on how wide-open it is...

I have heard of people not opening it all the way. I had dual cutouts on my 79 z28 but I never tried opening it part way because it sounded so good all the way. The previous owner broke the electric part so I just made a plate and capped it off. I plan on getting the electric one its just not in the budget right now. Thanks for the opinion
