Exhaust Cut Outs
So my corvette was given to me about 2 months ago with some minor modifications (Magnaflow exhaust, Upgraded air intake). Since then iv'e been looking to add things to the car i.e.: Headers, A better Air intake, etc. But I also really want some electric cut outs. My dads 2010 Camaro has them on there and it sounds like a beast. Its really inspired me to put them on my car and I was wondering what installation is like and which ones i should get.
Been eyeing these ones (http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS+Performan...0831K/10002/-1)

I'm running headers & dual exhaust to stock mufflers, w/electric cutouts from QTP. Very nice so far, though I wish I had gone with the low profile model. They hang a bit low (not much room to install them up under the C4) and I've tapped/scraped the turn-down ends at a few hard dips in the road...have to drive a lot more carefully now! Full flow on demand is great, though the volume in the car escalates so quickly I really only tend to run them 3-4 clicks open. Gives a nice rumble, but not too obnoxious 
and then when I enter the home neighborhood, I can drop the volume to (near) stock decibels with the flip of a switch.
Overall recommend, though go with their low profile version for a cleaner install.

What yourself with those jegs cutouts. They are a chinese knock off of ours. Cheap motors with plastic gears. Will fail quickly. Look at our low profile electric cutouts. They have better ground clearance.

If I could get a significant discount, I might go in on a group buy for a low profile set 
How do the unit lengths compare, Quick Time, if you don't mind me asking? That is, if I was to cut my current pair out and weld in the new, would they fit in the same section of pipe, or would I need to alter the exhaust further? I'm running your standard 3" model.

I have electric cut outs on my car. It's seems like the most popular placement is just after the rear suspension on the up turn of the exhaust. I welded two header flanges that I cut down to the exhaust. If you search YouTube for "c4 corvette cutouts" you'll see a good deal of videos including mine. I love the ability to be open piped when I want to be obnoxiously loud and then close them and run my mufflers.

Sounds like a lot of expense for the same sound

I have even seen cut outs used as one way for side pipes, one way for quiet exhaust. Truly two exhaust systems at the flick of a switch. Although That was on a c2.
