Default Wanting to get a cutout for my Z06...

I am looking into getting an electric cutout from DMH and was wondering what size cut out do I need to purchase? I am somewhat new to my Z06 so cut me some slack. Thanks alot for all your help!

Can we get cutouts welded into our titanium pipes or is it just the mufflers and back that's Ti? I always heard that it was hard to weld to (sort of like trying to get a shop to weld stainless). Also you plan on 2 cutouts right (would be kind of dumb to have one on just one side)?

If your car is a z06 I dont think you can weld to titanium so your looking at buying headers and X pipe

So are you saying that the piping that starts right at the rear end is the Ti but the piping forward of that isn't? It sure looks like Ti all the way up to the X in this link.
