Default Cutout worth it?

With a PaceSetter ORY and a MagnaFlow catback, would it even be worth it to put a cutout in the I pipe? If there is an significant gain to it then i might consider it, but I'm just not seeing it even mattering...other than for the sound.

No kidding! I am always getting website errorrs. Its probably due to the huge crowd that this website caters to. Have you ever seen a forum move as fast as the for sale section on LS1Tech? People just sit clicking "refresh" over and over. Maybe it pays to be apart of the early morning crew, huh?
