The fact that once open my trucks runs consistently faster"track proven" it shows that the 5.3l can benefit from even more free flowing exhaust.
Beyond the lt's/3"y-pipe and a catback.
If it didn't need more flow the cutout woudn't help it.

Easy really. If it wasn't maxxed out then a cutout would likely have no gains or even lose speed/power.

hence the reason why your cutout helps vs your muffler
If it were your headers being maxed out, the cutout wouldnt give you any gains.

Maybe it's good enough but unless i tried something bigger and had no gains or loss power then it can't be disproved that the current setup isn't maxxed out.
Oh and now i'm just argueing for the sake of doin it lol.

Tell the same thing to a guy running a radix. Moving up to a 3" would make a large differance.
700hp isn't as cut and dry as knowing the size exhaust you need.
