E-Cutout+stock exhaust(Or quiet after-market) VS. 3 inch cat back

[ct9a gsr]

The purpose of a cutout is to eliminate as much back pressure from the exhaust system as early as possible. Forced induction applications benifit from as little back pressure as possible. N/A cars are not the same as some amount of back pressure causes a gain in power... mostly torque. I'd suggest against the e-cutout idea unless you're going to be boosted sometime.

I've never seen a shop have a problem tuning a car with a cutout... it just gets insanely loud.

Lol, yea... There's a reason I posted this in forced induction. I will be boosted soon.
