I have an 00 SS with SLP Dual Dual Catback installed by SLP but i want some cut outs.

Any suggestions?

do a single cutout in the I-pipe. there is an indentation in the floorboard on the passenger side of the vehicle that is perfect for tucking a cutout into. you just need the cutout tubing itself and the electric motor. i believe you can buy the DMH as a kit and i know you definitely can with the QTP.

you'll run into fans and haters of both those electric cutouts you mentioned so pick whichever company you think you'll get the best support from if the motor on the cutout does break.

Dont forget to put a turndown on the cut out so you dont get all the black sh*t all over bottom of your car...

Who cares about black sh_t under your car? Go with the DMH...their warranty is unbeatable. I had one for about 3 years and it started to rattle a little bit while it was shut. I contacted them and they said to just send it in. I expected them to fix it and send it back but instead they just sent me a new one no questions asked and no receipt required either.
