Default Anyone using electric cutouts on their C5???

I have the electric cutouts sitting in a box and I am looking for a place to install them. I have LGM's long tubes and X pipe so I don't have room in the tunnel to have them come off of a Y pipe from the tunnel. Car is too low to point them down as well. Anyone have some pics of their installation?
Thanks for any help.
Cheers
Randy Goss :cheers:

I have them, mounted in roughly the same spot. But they've been a pain in the Azz. The motor on one always goes out, the wire used on them and the electronics contruction really isn't made to be used on a car. But I haven't come up with a better solution for a bad azz sounding car that can be made to sound like stock in seconds.

Just FYI. It really sucks when one gets stuck OPEN and you're far awy from home in a H/C car with no cats and long tube headers and you have to pass by a cop. :eek:
