Yes thats correct. Im more into the exotic sound with a taste of muscle sound at idle. Im looking into stainless Kooks or ARH LT’s with EGR & 3” collectors. If anybody is selling a set of either, please PM me.
I should do a search before I post this but how many of you LT1’s have true duals w/ X-pipe or E cutouts? Please someone post your pics. I hear they are a pain in the A$$ to fit. Prove me wrong!

-Always loud
-Ground clearance
-Gas smell inside car
-Everything that's loose will rattle and 4th gens already rattle enough
-Some aftermarket suspension components are designed with the factory exhaust routing in mind
-Can't fit a full size muffler without seriously sacrificing what little ground clearance you will have left
-Lowering the car might not be an option if you wish to retain any ground clearance
There's more but that's just off the top of my head. As for the e-cutouts with as how closely the exhaust will exit behind them there's pretty much zero change in performance, the small change in sound and volume, and cost, it's really not worth it IMO.
