Has anybody swapped out the flex pipe for an exhaust cutout?

Why would you get rid of the part that preserves your exhaust from engine movement?

I believe that @iamdub installed an exhaust cutout.

Compared to a properly designed cat-back exhaust system, cut-outs are not worth much power anymore.
I could be wrong if the engine is very unusual compared to OE.

I’ve never had a flex pipe on not one of my trucks and never had no issue? Everything I get I do full exhaust too I’m talking 1 78” Longtubes no cats x pipe 3” exhaust all the way back

I agree with there's no real benefit to it if you're running cats. To be honest they just make noise if you have cats and don't really go full on race mode. Old school big block built right using cutouts off the header collector for weekends at the strip sure. Modern setup with emissions you're just pissing off the neighborhood.
I have the same question. I'd like the ability to have a stealthy stock startup, but turn it loud when i want to. I have a ppv so itd be extra cool in my opinion. I saw someone do it with an escalade https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/exhaust-cut-outs.121598/page-2 which was the closest thing to an answer i could find.
