They are Doug's header cut outs. They are very bulky, and to be honest, I not real happy with how I have them fitted under the car, one is hanging lower than the other, so I need to rework those to get better ground clearance. I think I can make them fit a little tighter to the under body of the car. I mounted them just after the trans cross member, just before the X pipe. This is a great location because when you have them open, you don't have that horrible back fire when you mount them up near the header.

I started the car again earlier after making some changes to the LS, And this time I was able to rev the car a few times, and I would have to say, the car with open cut outs sounds incredible.

I like the design of these better than others I have seen on the market, most use a buttery fly gate and the Doug's use a slide gate that self cleans the carbon away to prevent exhaust leakage, the butterfly Style over time will leak, or most of them do, regardless of what they advertise.
