Default 03 z06 in need of cutouts!!!!

Yeah I have a 03 z06 with lt's, ms3 cam. I want to get some cutouts but would perferably want non electric ones. Does anyone know who sells them? Do you have to weld them into your h/x pipe? I have lg motorsports long tube pros without cats and do not want to really hack them up by adding cutouts. Can cutouts be put between the flanges of the catback and h/x pipe? Thanks.

To put non electric cutouts would not be a great move. You would have to jack up your car every time you want to open them up. You would not be able to crawl under the car and uncap them. You would get the 3" ones and weld them right by the tranny. You should really consider the electric cutouts. QTP make a real nice one.

You would have to cut the x-pipe and weld in the cutouts.

The reason I dont want to go with electrics is due to the cost and that I would be worried about the motor in them going bad. Also my car isnt a daily driver so I woudl have plenty of time to change the cutouts to closed or open if I wanted to.
