Cut out question
 
Hey guys, my current exhaust consists of jet hot headers, y-pipe (even though its more of a T) and a flowmaster muffler. Now i figure your first response is new muffler, but i enjoy the sound and think id benefit more from a new y-pipe and cut out. So my question is if i get a Mufflex Y that has the 4inch collector, should i get a 4inch cut out or just go with a 3inch a little further down the pipe? My car is also lowered a bit, so ground clearance is a small issue and the QTP 4inch cut out is about $60 more than the 3inch.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

What exactly are you looking to get out of this? sound or power? BTW where is ball ground GA?? I'm from GA orginally just wondering.

Im trying to sqeeze whatever power i can out of the exhaust, and with the crappy y-pipe design and muffler i thought this would be a good spot for improvement. Also with the cut out i could stay somewhat quiet when i needed to. I was really just curious if there would be better gains with a 4inch cut out instead of a 3 after the Y, or would it be overkill.

gains of a 4 inch over 3 inch cutout with your setup would be very minimal. not worth the extra bones. :)

I would go with a 3" cut out
