Default Borla or Cutout?

Hey guys, i got a quick question. I've got a 3" cutout with the Borla after that. Performance wise, which will i gain more from? Do i leave the cutout open, or cap it up and let it run through the Borla? I had the cutout first, but then got a great deal on the borla i couldn't pass up. So now they are both on there but i don't know which to use. I haven't had time to get to the track, so i figured i would ask you gentleman. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

The borla is wide open. No plates in.

First of all, you have to have the borla that has that option. If you get under and look at the right tail pipe you'll see that its cut in half and connected with three big bolts. Thats where the plates fit in. If you don't see that, then... well. you don't have the option.

Anyone help me with my queston?

A cut out wide open against a Borla wide open, should be the same, Only difference should be the sound. Power wise shouldnt be a difference. If it is, should be enough to even feel.
