exhaust cutouts, worth it?

I put cut outs on my dart about 2 years ago and I can honestly say that I have ran them open about 90% of the time. I have small pipes on my car so having them open actually helps alot. If your going to be driving the car alot then get electric ones becuase having them open does get annoying. No talking on the phone inside the car, no going through drive thrus, stereo has to be cranked to hear it at all. There is no better feeling though when the person next you at the stop light rolls up their windows.
