Cut-outs BYPASS your cat(s) & muffler(s).</P>
You do not need a high flow exhaust to being with either! I was just trying to stress that even with a high-flow exhaust, my friend STILL saw another 20HP gain even after he gained HP by doing a full exhaust upgrade!!! (which just shows how restrictive even a high flow exhaust can be!!) If you have headers you will see even MORE hp than you would with Manifolds..</P>
I don't know what you mean by clips. I've only used Flowtech cutouts, they have a cap & wing-nuts. Gotta crawl under the car and unscrew them & remove the cap. For $35 bucks it's worth getting dirty to gain some extra ponies...or you can buy cut-outs with a cable (which will take time to moutn & route cables) or you can buy electric ones!</P>

That would be worse blocking off flow to the muffler. By leaving them both open you have even more flow and less back pressure.</P>
