Default Cutout Install - Houston?

Anyone have the tools to install a cutout on my 1998 Formula? I live inner-loop and 2 exhaust shops wanted some stupid prices for the install. Thought it might be fun if someone has some spare time and the correct tools. Thanks

Is your cutout 3'' like your I pipe? So a basic cut off section and weld in cut out?? Or you have something crazy going on under there?

Im starting to think that the cutout on stock exhaust is gay. Yes or No?

And Pavlock I have stock exhaust with a Magnaflow catback. Should be pretty simple. Sucky part is that I live in the middle of the city so everyone is far away!

Nah, LS1s sound fairly nice with cutouts. I'm getting mine on in a few weeks.

Yeah so I want the cutout on, I guess I will find an exhaust shop outside of my neck of the woods that may be cheaper. I know the $60 place will take $50 to do it but $50 is still more than I expected, I paid $10 for the damn thing. <---Cheap ***!
