Default how does LS2 sound with cut outs?

I have stock exhaust manifolds on my LS2 an was wondering if anyone here knows how they sound with the stock stuff on? does it sound any good or does it sound like crap?

thanks

IMHO - cutouts are not a pleasant sound on an LS engine below 4k RPM. I have DMH on my car and they are a lot of fun when some fart canned Honda pulls up next to you and starts throwing revs. I gain about 12RWHP on a DJ with them open. That being said, I now run an LG Big 3 catback with 1 7/8 AR headers. That combination is 3 inches from the collector to the tips and I gained only a couple HP with the cutouts open.

They do sound great at full sound but you won't be driving around with them open.

Just my $.02
