It sounds good but accelerating resonates terribly in the cab, which is good if your racing someone but after a week or so having them open I put them on so I can listen to the radio and talk on the phone while I drive. I would say go with the 3 bolt set up over electric it only takes me a few minutes to get both of them on and off.
Unless your trucks lowered lol. After lowering my truck I switched to electric vs the manual for obvious reasons.

im going to have 3" stainless dynomax cutouts the yare the manual ones. i might see a gain of 10-15 hp but my exhaust will consit of free flowing straight thru resonators.

cutouts are basically like running open headers minus the actual work of removing the exhaust

Damn! You think I'll be able to skip that extra tuning seeing that my cut-out is gonna be right after the my turbo? I'm assuming there's a bigger need for a re-tune on a N/A motor than a F/I?? I'd really rather not have to have a separate tune just for opening the cut-outs.
