Cutouts
If you put them before the "Y", you will probably lose a little power - especially at low RPM. It's actually torque that you're losing. It will sound like the car is faster, and it will rev better in your driveway - but you will oe power. I took my y-pipe off for a while with stock exhaust, and lost some low-end grunt.
But, for the past 2 years I've run with no exhaust after the y-pipe. It sounds pretty good (loud, but with little rasp or drone) and you gain a few HP. I loved it!

You lose low end power but gain top end power. I never had mine dynoed so i cant tell you where the curve is.
Not worth it for the money. I have dual elec cutouts now and they are coming off very soon. Subframe connectors wont clear them. If im driving by myself i have to be careful about dragging. If there is one more riding along, extra careful. More than one, my **** is dragging my driveway just sitting there.... Ground clearance sucks.

Connectors wont clear with the cutouts (not the way i have my cutouts setup).
They will cost you ground clearance.
Like i said, im taking them off my car and doing the exhaust the way i should have from the beginning instead of spending all the money just for the "open headers sound" and always having to watch about dragging.
