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.

making near 300rwhp na ran on the dyno with it open and closed, hardy any difference in power, with it open and closed spraying 150, it gained a little under 10rwhp. so basically its a noise maker,

its allot of fun to go from loud to quiet with a switch tho

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?
