go to your local exhaust shop i bet you they will do it for like 60 bucks, no need to order. if you have a 3in catback do 3in. IF you have 2.5 go 2.5 so on and so on.

so just go 3" on the 2.75" pipe. ok. another question: i just read a post where a guy said that qtp's are bad about vibrating apart due to crappy hardware. is this a common occurence? are there better electric cutouts that are comparable in price?
thanks guys

Untrue. Have mine on for over 2 years. No issues. They are the best.

mine sucked *** on my 92 camaro , the motor on the cut-out died after 3 months,
then change it and hardware licked, then the customer service was the worse ever , they wanted me to send cash , a real pain...
so now with my new car just have a regular cut-out and I open and close it myself, take 10 seconds and is problem free , and it was 30$ and a friend installed it
I got a jegs 3inch

well now I ditch it since I have GMMG !!!

go with a cut-out for 30$ , you cant beat it, then save money and get TDs or a nice cat back
good luck
