Question Cutout Volume

I really like how "polite" my stock exhaust is; but I'm young and silly, and would like the ability to be obnoxious when my spirited driving needs some dramatics to it.

I've been looking at the NW's cutout with the electric valve configuration; but I could not find any information from searching on here as to the volume of the cutout when closed.

Can anyone with this setup give me some insight?

What I am looking for is:
When closed:
Is the volume/sound below 3k similar to the stock configuration for the most part?
Is there a significant change to the volume/sound at WOT?
How is the "quality" of the sound in your opinion (does it become raspy, more "bass", etc.)?
Same information for when the cutouts are open would also be appreciated

Thanks in advance gang!

Edit: I have read the description, but I'm not going take the word of someone attempting to sell me something 100%.

When open the car sounds like a cigarette speedboat. Loud at anything above idle. Closed the sound is deeper with more rumble. No drone to speak of. At first I wasn't sure I liked the sound, I wanted louder and deeper, but now I love the sound. Still quiet while vibrating the objects in close proximity.

Perfect; thank you for letting me know.

Sounds like this will give me what I am looking for (more of an audible presence without the headache).

The pun is always intended :P

If anyone else has any .02, I'd love the input.

If you search around you can find videos of mine with the cutouts closed and open ...... let me look for them.

I've seen both of those; I didn't realize they were you ^_^

Thanks for helping me come to a decision.
