Default Exhaust Cut outs

Hi:

I recall seeing a post on a C5 with exhaust cutouts (I think on LG pros). I have a set of LG pros with Hi flow cats getting ready for install and am toying with the idea of dual 3" cut outs after the crossover. Any words of wisdom, advice and likns will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Jeff Donnelly

Where should I be looking to find Mc Cord cutouts? If my LG pipe is 3" do I need 3" cutouts or is it ok to use a smaller cut out?

Thanks
