Don't bother with the manual ones have a custom 3 inch made, or save for the electric.

I agree... Just save up alittle and get the electric. Buy the cut out pipe first. They usually come with a cover plate. Just install it and leave it capped until you can get an electric cut out to install. The cut out pipes are pretty cheap. And by the time you buy a manual one, figure out how to route the cable, and keep it from rusting, you could have saved for an electric.

Especially since you already spent so much on your exhaust. Whats alittle more for a better set up.

Sounds like something you would find in a JC Whitney catalog. Don't waste your money on that crap its just gonna rust up and **** you off. Save your money for the electric cutout. You get what you pay for and problems come cheap.

I haven't seen any manual cable ones in a 3". I'd either stick with the regular old 3" cutout so you can add an electric one onto it later on if you wanted to.

I have the electric one and i just leave it open 100% of the time. Its not that loud but i am sure that is because i am on stock manifolds.

I Agree with that the others said.

I'm a big guy still have a cutout with a plate. It's not too hard to put up with the crawl under the car cutout until you can save up and get the electric one.
