Default Performance gain with cutout!??! help me!!

Well i presently have a set of mac with ORY-pipe and a borla catback.... i am thinking of putting one bullet in my intermediate pipe to cut down on the resonance and put an eletronic cutout just before that so that i can have the best of both worlds.. what do you think?? what kind of gain do you think i would get with the cutout?? where does everyone put their cutout's at?? would you put the cutout first and then the bullit?? or the other way around?? anyone done this??

My cutout faces the open area under my passenger side rear seat.

Are you running the Borla w/ the open plate or closed? A Borla w/ no plate would do the same thing.
