exhaust cutouts suggestions
I'd like to put some exhaust cutouts on my 72. I have headers with 3" collectors down to 2" pipes. Can anyone suggest the best cutouts that don't have leakage problems. Are they bolt on or do they need to be welded? Whats the best location in the exhaust system to install them? Do I need to run pipes from the cutout and where to? I could use some advice from anybody who has some installed. Any help or ideas appreciated.

i have qtp's on my c-5 they bolt on to a weld in y. i think you would like them best right before the mufflers. they just y off of the pipe and you can bolt on a down turn.

You have 3" collectors going into 2" pipes? Why? What's the benefit of the collectors if they have 2" restrictions after them?
