Exhaust Cutout

I suspect you would like a lower tone and an H pipe would allow for very easy cutout installation.

So would you say for sound, a cutout isn’t worth it on the stock exhaust? I’m trying to figure out if it will be worth the money to get the cutouts or if I should wait until I get a full exhaust. From what I understand though, nothing is stopping anyone from just cutting it off and throwing it onto a different exhaust system given that they have a similar diameter. Also what size would suit best from ECS’s website for the default 2.25in pipe?
