Cutouts and True Duals If you have a nice X Pipe setup with nice mufflers, will you gain any horsepower by using cutouts? If so, where would you install the cutout(s)?
Thanks

I am considering that for this summer myself. I doubt there would be any real power diff on an average powered car with good True Duals because they flow so well to begin with. I just loved the sound of open headers so much that I have to do it

I've seen enough evidence both on my car and on other posts that truly disproves the myth.

Well I plan on putting two bullets after the headers and then two street pro cutouts for the ultimate sound (minus the rasp). When I want it quiet I will just close the cutout and run it through my duals (4 mufflers).
