thanks

yes, cutouts are annoying and dumb IMO. Try a catback, I like the hooker and SLP catbacks for low price options.

If you want low $$$ get a cutout especially if it open all of the time. You will most likely see a hp gain also. i don't know about the cut out being annoying but my Loudmouth doesn't annoy me.

Well since you say that you plan on leaving the cut out open most of the time, i wouldnt waste my money on a cat back system. The cut out will gain more hp over the cat back system b/c that's what it's there for, to bypass the muffler. Personally i knocked off .1 seconds et and gained 2 mph on the 1/4 mile. I dont know if you still have your cat or not, but if you have it still, it's not really that loud with the cut out open until you get on it.
