depends on your mods. Cut-outs can cause you to lose hp if the combo is wrong. Can also result in big hp gains too. Like I said, all depends on your mods.

You'll be happy with an off-road pipe(no cats)...Cut outs will sound pretty cool, but you will lose needed back pressure in your exhaust... [patriot]

[patriot] Exactly. For your combo, i'd just get the off road h or x pipe. Theres no reason to sacrifice low end power with cutouts unless youre going to be building a high performance motor or throwing a power adder on your car. Even on a stock motor with a mild power adder, i'd say the performance gains from cutouts are marginal.

I would do both. Get an off road x or h pipe then get some electronic cut outs from quicktime performance.
