What would happen if you pluged your tail pipes so the cut-out was used 100%?

 

um you kind of awnsered your own question The cutout will be 100% effective

 

More Power / Less Power????

 

i dont think you'll really notice any difference...try it out and let us know what ya think

 

The exhaust is going to take the path of least resistance...what's the point in plugging the tailpipes?

 

(Stock exhaust) With the cut-out BEFORE the pipes, I would think the exhaust exiting in the cut-out would be more effeciant than the exhasut going throught the cut-out and the rest through the tai pipes?

Am I making sense?

 

No, it will be less power....based on one above response. Don't feel like giving a longer answer...it will sound different though.

 

Mufflers - of any kind are more restrictive than an open exhaust port.

I doubt there is any preassure coming out the tailpipes with a cutout open.

 

with the cutout open now, your exhaust has 2 holes to go out of. 1- your cutout. 2- through your muffler. If you bottle up the rest of your exhaust piping, then the gasses only have 1 hole to go out of, your cutout. This means it would be more restrictive = less HP.
