newbie cut out question my question is, it might be kinda stupid I have a 99z28 with Slp lid and american thunder flowmaster cat back I was thinking about getting a electronic cutout after the cats will this help me any as far as HP gain goes
Hell yea! I recommend getting it farther down the I-Pipe close to the rear passenger wheel. It's easier to cap and uncap without lifting up the car or anything. I didn't buy the electronic part, just the cut-out itself and I leave it open all the time.

not meanin to hijack his thread, but i have the same situation. will there be a noticable difference between a cutout and flowmasters or a true dual setup?? i already know that the td setup is better, but by how much??
My mods are in my sig.
I just had the car on the dyno last Friday, and I gained almost 10 rwhp between the cutout being open and closed, and that's with a pretty free flowing (and rather expensive) B&B Triflo exhaust.
With headers and catted Y pipe and a cam, I find the noise of the open cutout unbearable, so I cap it but put a nut between the cutout and the cap as a spacer, so it still sounds mean at idle and at WOT without being super loud.

Im kinda anxious to see how much different the cut out makes on my car. LTs, ORY, magnaflow vs. LTs, ORY, cut out open.

yes it will, but you will loose a lil low end torque, and you will be able to tell whenever you put the cut out back on.
I have seen a 408 dyno 40rwhp with the cutouts removed and nothing else changed.
