Default Exhaust cut outs

On my 01Z, I am looking into electric exhaust cut outs. I've had them on other cars but were already installed. Looking for recommendations for vendors and what sizes to look at. I have the original titanium exhaust system with original manifolds so don't have outlet/inlet sizes as ads I've seen are size sensitive. Thanks for any advice

I put DMH low profile ones on my car. I have headers and back from LG though. If the stock C5 Z H pipe is Ti, there may be some welding issues. A good spot to mount them is right under the transmission before the axle back exhaust.

Default Ti

Great point, Ive not been able to get it on a lift yet so I don't know if entire system is Titanium. Maybe someone else on here can let me know. Not that it matters but didnt want to modify too much as mine is the second Z built after the pilot cars in June of 2000 which may only be important to me!!

the stock Hpipe is Stainless, the Mufflers and Axle pipes are Ti. if you add it to the stock Hpipe you will be fine. The stock Hpipe is dual 2.5"

RedZ- Did this take much off of your ground clearance?

I did not install them on my car, these are just ones i have seen on the forums.. but it doesnt look like you lose any, they are tucked up pretty well. looks like they are above the rear subframe and leaf.
