you wouldnt know if you got a gain from cutouts unless you make 2 runs in the exact same condition. there are so many vasriables you wont know because the cutout on a close to stock z only yields about 5rwhp. you can get a better times by practicing your launch technique.

if the cutout is behind the last o2 sensor you wont have any problems. you can eliminate the cat and place the cutout there but you will need to tune out the last o2 sensor( cant do this with smog **** states and you will smell more exhaust gas)

the titanium exhaust is pretty light and you need to jack the car like 30 inches to get the pipes off. id call you crazy if you did that every time you visit the strip.
