Worth It How? You won't get any more power out of it, just be a little louder prolly!

+1 the TSP design is so well flowing that a cutout would make no difference in power.

Depends on if you are running the duals all the way out the back or not. If not then I wouldn't bother since it's basically the same thing. If you are gonna run them out the back then yeah you might benefit from a set of cutouts.

Ive had about 5 different cutout setups now...
and if you dump them right off the headers it will give you like 5hp and rob you of 5ftlbs but the only reason Ive ever put them on mine was to make it louder and have a quieter muffler.....

you won't gain anything in power and Im guessing your car is really close to as loud as it gets anyway.

I don't think it benefits you on a true dual system. My .02 worth.
