Awesome. I see you can order the dual 3" McCord cutouts from the URL above... Where do you pick up the other plumbing to attach the power plates to your exhaust?
Thanks!

Thanks for the compliments guys, I bought the 2 1/2" cut outs then bought a set of 2 1/2 to 2 1/2 header collectors from summit $20 the guy at our local exhaust shop gave me a couple pieces of 2 1/2 with a bend in them to make the turndowns. Took about 3 hours total to do them but I have a lift which made it easier to keep test fitting. Had a buddy do all the welding. I ran the wiring just like patches but I had to put the switch on the center console since my ashtray is full of nitrous switches 
Its by the traction control button.

Ive got a cut-out on my Z28, and I love the way it sounds. It drives my parents nuts when they are in the passanger set. I went with the non-power cutout just casue it was only $60 installed, but its a great cheap sounding exhaust.
