Default What size cutout to go with?

Next week i will be installing my Pacesetter LT's and their ORY...
So i am thinking, why not install a QTP E-cutout...

Right now i have magnaflow catback and dont know what size cutout to get that would fit that ORY and Catback

oh and btw, if i keep the cutout closed, would i still be able to tell the difference that i have it?

with the cutout closed you wont hear anything but the exhaust you have with it open is when you will hear the change(and it will be a change). the size you will need depends on the size of the Y-Pipe which i am willing to bet is going to be a 3" so there is your size im not even sure if they make one over that but i could be wrong. anyone else with more expierence with these please chime in cause i personally do not have one(YET).

You need a 3" cutout. If the cutout is closed, the car should sound the same as not having one With it open, its a whole new world

hey don't go with the QTP electronic cutout plate, use the kooks one it has a much bigger opening mechanism i've seen both next to each other and i think the kooks would flow more just by looking at them. and yea everything everyone else said is true and i love my cutout especially after i got my LT's and off road y, in fact i never close the thing, unless i get pulled over then i hit the switch close the cutout and turn the car off. and then tell the cop if he says my car is too loud... lolol

it took me 2 weeks to get mine, but it was worth the wait. they supposedly make them on a individual basis, so theres no over stock i think. the thing works really well, and quick, also to me a 4 year warranty is worth the wait when you pay 179 for a part.
