Yes you can. In fact, it is easier to do. The 3 in cutout slides right over the stock 2.75" pipe and can be welded very easily. I had this done on my 95 Z28 and my 99 Z28. Worked very well. You will enjoy the sound. Good luck man.

I get some rasp in the midrange RPM's. Nothing too bad. I actually really enjoy the overall sound. It sounds great to me at WOT. I keep it uncapped most of the time because going through my catback the car is dead quiet and I like to be kinda loud. I am getting ready to do a cam swap here this spring and that might be a little loud with the cutout open. I am also installing an electric cutout motor so I can play with the sound a little more .
