Default new exhaust idea

thinking of losing some weight and mufflers. current exhaust weighs a ton and is holding a lot of power back. 3" dp to y and dual 2 1/2 splitflows dumped before axle. have a cutout before y. recently have left the cutout open while street driving and its actually not much louder cruising. makes boost way faster w/ it open. only put 1000 street miles a yr on it. no emission to worry about. any turbo guys drive w/ open downpipe? losing 100 lbs and gaining 50hp is tempting. **** the cops off tho.

In for video! I cant make up my damn mind what I wanna do exhaust wise when I get my turbo put on. Same thing, 3" dp and 3" cutout. Thinking now of just running 3" all the way back to keep it simple.
