Stock manifolds and the stock y pipe are never going to flow anywhere near as good as headers and a y pipe, the cutout wont help that area. Only thing the cutout is gonna do i let the exhaust exit before it runs through the catback.

So I Wont See Any Worthwhile Gains In Putting A Cut Out...i Guess People Just Use Cutouts On Stock Just For The Sound. Damn I Want To Get Me Some Long Tubes, Damn California Rules.

You'll gain a little performance with the cutout if you have stock catback, but it wont be anywhere near the same as putting headers and a ypipe on your car.
With the cutout, you're letting exhaust dump before it runs through the catback. With the headers, you're letting more exhaust exit the engine and it just flows better.
Its kind of comparing apples to oranges.

Stock manifolds and cutout sound good, while LT's and ORY IMHO sound like ***.
Other than that, a cutout won't give you the gains LT's will. There is a gain to be had (although a small one) with a cutout over a catback, but even more over stock exhaust.
