cut out options

I started thinking about one of these since I just purchased a SSRA and ported throttle body....I figured the TB, SSRA, and a cut out would create a nice flow in/flow out type scenario...creating a few hp. I don't have much cash at the moment and was considering a manual one. With exhaust mods in my sig do you guys think this would be a worthwhile mod? I mean my system is really loud and raw as it is, but would it be quite a bit meaner sounding with a good cut out? I will be doing a Flowmaster merge with a Magnaflow 14419 muffler at one point as well. Also, I hear that some cut outs create less ground clearance. Is this true? I plan on lowering the car at some point with some Strano's or BMR's, and don't want even less clearance than I will already have with the long tubes and ORY. Any thoughts opinions, feedback, etc...would be appreciated!

Thanks!

I have 2 cut outs on mine and the last pass of the year I finally CLOSED them both in an attempt to slow the car down to avoid getting thrown off the track for running faster than 11.50 without a roll bar. Last run of the year...capped them, ran it, dropped time from best of 11.31 to an 11.22, promptly got shown the door. Video in sig.
