Default Borla Question??

I have a Borla catback on my car now and i was wondering would it be any added benefit to put a cutout on the intermidiate pipe and just run the catback closed up or would the same power be there by just opening the borla??
Note the catback came with the headers when i bought them off a guy locally i just had to trade him my Loudmouth for it....I know it sounds like a stupid question but takeing wingnuts off a cutout seems a lot easier to me than useing a combination wrench(which i have to borrow from friends everytime i want to change the plate) to actually change the plate in the borla....I dunno just looking for some thoughts/inputs or somebody to tell me to just leave it alone <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

Just do like I do and have the muffler removed. Gives a nice full sound out of both tips. As long as you have cats, the sound is not that bad. I also have LT headers. So mine sounds extra special awesome. <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

Hey Jay, is taking the cutout plate off easier then taking the plate out the borla? <img src="images/icons/confused.gif" border="0"> <img src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" />
