Default Another Cutout Question

I am getting a hooker cutout from a member on here. Is it going to be worth it to put it on? I should be able to here the cam lope better right? What are your thoughts on cutouts?

I like mine- it really wakes up the sound of the car, but does little to nothing for performance.

I dont even close it around cops, Harleys ar just as loud or louder, and ive got dual cutouts,

to the o.p., youll love it, best sound ever, but ive never seen a hooker cutout, there all the same anyway, just some are stainless and some are mild...

Mine seems to pull harder up top w/ open (dual cutouts).

Never seen a hooker cutout though. As far as manufacturers go, a cutout is a simple enough piece of metal, it shouldn't matter who you go with.

Cutouts are cheap proven power makers. Why is there a question about it? Read the stickies about it maybe?
