Here is mine...
If you are not using cats you will have a lot more room to place the cutouts. I'd move them back as far as you can because when fresh air reaches hot O2 sensors they will foul out. You should have at least 16" of pipe between the open air and your O2 sensors.
Install your headers and y-pipe and when they are on the car decide where you can fit the cutouts. Then take the cutouts to an exhaust shop and have them weld them in, then install the electric plates yourself.

It is VERY loud. I have gotten used to it, but I don't have them open all the time. I like to keep them closed most of the time and open them to show off or get some attention. They will definitly get my in trouble one of these days. They are a ton of fun though. One of these days I'm going to turn the turndowns to the side a little to make it louder outside the car and quieter inside.
As for the price, it was not cheap...
Two 3" cutouts - $65
Two 3" QTP electric plates - $360?
Flowmaster collector - $35
Cats - $140
Mandrel bends - $40
Labor - $200
Total - $840....Rough estimate.
