dual cutouts on a bolt on car? gains worth while?
my exhuast options are this:
LTs, orp, magnaflow
LTs, orp, cutout, magnaflow
LTs, dual cutouts on orp, magnaflow
how much would the dual cutouts gain me over the free flowing magnaflow exhaust? and this is on a basic bolt on car.
i'm wondering if i should just sell the Ecutout, since i probably wont gain much power.
edit:
i already have the cutout AND QTP elect. plate...would only need one more for duals

gains really depend on the muffler.
i know a guy who gained only 4hp with the cutout open (bolt on lt1 car) with the same muffler i have.
that hardly seems worth it.
how much would the dual cutouts in the Ypipe gain me over the magnaflow?

anyone
hp gains for dual cutouts behind LT's, as opposed to through the magnaflow (or any muffler for that matter)????
is it worth $350 in cutouts and electric plates?

I have heard from a couple of people that running dual cutouts isnt very effective. They recieve the same numbers if not lower than running one cut out. I thought it would improve hp b/c you will have a free flowing exhaust basically running open headers but these people insisted no. I want to say it was something with backpressure but thats an argument in itself

Just stick with your single cutout you already have. It won't cost you any extra $$$ for the parts and your car will sound awesome
You can debate about the HP all day long, but I can guarntee that not having the restriction of a muffler on your exhaust will give you more HP, that's why race cars run open headers
