Default Exhaustt cat back VS cutouts

Running stock everything. Want a more aggressive sound and don't care if it's loud. Would be nice to have cutouts and maintain my stock exhaust at the flip of a switch but figure it would sound plain since I don't have headers or cam.

Opinions??

If went cat back it would be billy boat or slp loudmouth

i have cutouts, and ive had them open for 3-4 years. drive it all over and love it. I am the extream though. most would lose their minds. it makes the cabin LOUD, but it sounds so so good. You can get the Y pipes and have them welded in for prob 250$. way cheaper than a cat back, plus if you want quiet, just cap them. Im a fan

No idea...was just pipe. I don't use electric. They just leak, malfunction, and are way overpriced. Takes 20 min to pop them off. Also, if you do them, get some turn downs made, or you will be melting your leaf spring
