Cutouts are worth it for the sound alone. I can feel a loss of low end torque with mine open though. But there's nothing quite like the sound of a open cutout at 5000 rpm. Just sounds eveil! It's a big difference between a Magnaflow I can tell you that. I have both.

Cutout closed: 357 hp. Cutout open: 381 hp. This is with stock catback. With the cutout open, it's still going through the high flow cats, the cutout is in front of the axle in the stock I pipe. See my mods in my signature. A cutout is going to work better with a cammed car than it will with a stock car.
