Default To much back pressure?

I'm getting QTP longtubes with catted Y. I still have the stock WS6 muffler. Will I see that big of a difference between the WS6 muffler and lets say corsa? I'm not gonna tune it this year since I plan on doing H/C next year?

if you do corsa after the longtubes you'll see a nice gain versus the stock muffler. dont really need to worry about tuning it I would think.

Just get the QTP Y pipe with the dual electric cut-outs. Best of both worlds.

Too Late, I already got the catted Y, I think I just put in Corsa or B&B later this summer. I don't want to overspend, my girlfriend wants a golden retriever. Before you give me to much crap, she does support the whole modifying the car stuff.

Too bad a cut out set up is loud as ***** and sounds kinda shitty at idle if you don't have an after market cam.
