Did you get connection pipes or did you just use the cutouts or both??

Looks and sounds good! I'm getting a Futral F13 put in my 06 the first week of May. I hope it sounds as good as yours. I'm looking for something daily-drivable, but that you can tell is cammed. Sounds like you found that. The Torquer v2 and the F13 are somewhat similar. Post up after you tune/dyno it

I have connection pipes but they are reducers, so you can't really put cutouts on them. I bought two 2.5" cut-outs from TSP and had them welded onto the H pipe. I measured and cut everything so it would fit nicely. Basically the cutouts slip fit into the connection pipes.

Thanks for the comments guys.

WARNING: This has very MINIMAL ground clearance, a lowered vette would get high centered with my set-up. I am still working through issues with the cutouts so be warned.

Do the cutouts cause the ground clearance problems or are the long tubes more to blame?

I had to take out the cutouts, ended up hitting something on the road that absolutely ruined one and almost destroyed the other. Sucks because I lost 200 bucks on those cutouts (shipping/install/welding/etc), and only had them on for two days. The long tubes have EXCELLENT ground clearance!

Thanks for the quick response!

Is there any way to install cutouts on these cars that does not cause ground clearance issues?

Yep. I have a 2001 Z06 and the dipstick bolts to the head. On the O2 issues I had to loosen my passenger header (TPIS) to put my Lc1 in the stock location definitely tight...The drivers header O2 is easy though.
