Default PRT system with Cutouts???

Would it be worth it to get some cutouts if I have a PRT system already? I heard that it may not be worth it because at WOT the mufflers are bypassed anyway. There is a muffler shop here in town that gets all of my business and do very good work, the owner there said he could make me some installed for $60, with downpipes...would it be worth it or should I pass???

:confused: That's like asking if you should install side-view mirrors on your stock C5...it already has them. The PRTs are already basically straight-through. They just have a resonance chamber hanging off of the side to cancel out some of the noise. Cutouts would be worthless. :cheers:
