Which set up flows better ...

On my car which would flow better in theory? :

1. Stock cat converter to cut out

2. Off road pipe (cut out closed) into flowmaster 80 series.

I would think the orp back to the flowmaster but I am curious what everyone thinks.

P.S. I know that it would flow best with orp and cut out open. This is just hypothetical.

Typically on these cars the cut-outs go after the cat.

I bet the factory cat with the cut-out would flow better than through aORP to a flowmaster muffler.

I have heard bad things about how flowmasters flow.

I second that, the stock cat really isn't that restrictive. Either way you go, I think you'd be in a 5 hp range.
