Wrong! I have dyno data showing massive torque gains with a cutout on my bolt on NA sr20. matter of fact I saw a gain of 10wtq at 3500rpm with open cut vs closed. My setup was gen 6 header with 3" high flow cat and catback with the cutout right before the muffler. I had a 2000 maxima muffler so the car would be quiet when it was closed.
