Default 3" H-Pipe/Cut-Outs Questions

I am gonna be doing a 3" H-Pipe with spiral flows dumped before the axle hopefully next week. I was wondering since im doing custom exhaust work if i should have a couple of manual cutouts put on the h-pipe close to the headers? I know it wouldnt make any horsepower but how would it sound? Also will the 3" set up sound a little deeper than running 2.5"??

I wouldnt put cutouts on my duals. Thats seems like overkill to me. I honestly think the cutouts off the headers would sound like ****. It will be loud and nasty with no tone.

It would sound like open headers.

I ran cutouts on my old TSP Duals. Put them behind the X pipe. Bolt ons only it made 349hp/362 tq. With the cutouts open 349hp/366tq. It sounded pretty sweet.
