Default to tune for the cutout or to sell it

Well to start off, I have a 3" DMH cutout with a custom y pipe with fm merge and pacesetter's with a hooker catback. Should I have the car tuned with the cutout open or closed? I can sell my plate to a local for 100$ which I rather do, but if I get more power with the car tuned with the cutout open vs tuned with catback then I'll keep it. I'd like to hear some tuners thoughts and see if it's worth it to keep it.

dude if you already have it on keep it for sure, you will gain some extra hp but not too much. Plus there so fun when you have an electric one...nothing better pulling up beside a honda civic at a stoplight and opening up the cutout with a cam chopping through it! Heaven right ther

Should I sell it to Justin for 100$ and just scrap the whole pipe up to the reducer and just use the hooker pipe?
