cutout will improve times on any kind of exhaust.

You won't see much of a gain with a high flow cat unless the stock one is clogged.

Nothing else is done to it.. I had the same setup before I tweaked it. Pace Setter mids and a Factory Exhaust with some crap Hankook tires, and ran a 13.85, as an auto. I was just wonderin.

I haven't had a chance yet to run mine after all the new stuff. I blew a head gasket, so I am fixing that, and installing hooker Long Tubes. I am expecting high 12's.
