Re: Electric cutout question... (SevenT6Vet)
Below is a pic of a set a forum member put on his FLP x-pipe and ran the Quicktime cutout wiring into the cabin. Not sure where he had his switch but I think it was Rapid Transit so you can ask him.
I have a set of FLP inserts that replace the cats with some McCord electric cutouts that I'll be playing with soon (not permanently though - don't want to eliminate the cats for good). Below is a pic of them. Since I'm not mounting them indefintely, I may just temporarily mount the switch in the console.
For pics of switch and cutout installations, got to the link below at McCord's website.

I have a similar setup, QTP (Quick Time Performance)
I used their supplied switch and tucked it into the lip of the center console right by the seat belt clip.
It is easy to reach, didn't require drilling in my dash, and it can't be seen.
It is a sweet system, you will love it, I gained almost 10rwhp with them open.

Try this link and then scroll down to last picture to see how my QuickTime Perfromance cutouts are mounted on my C5:

Ran wiring from rear up to ashtray area (removed ashtray, had thin stainless steel plate installed where I use a nitrous momentary switch to open and close the cutouts. Very cool and very stealthy. :D

Re: Electric cutout question... (6 speed Sid)
I've used the manual ones before and always had small leaks. Any exhaust leaks thru the butterfly with the electric ones. Sid.
Mine are mounted just at the bend up over the axels, and since I am running stock mufflers when they are closed even if they are leaking it is very quite.

Re: Electric cutout question... (SevenT6Vet)
Does anyone have dual electric cutouts? If so, where did you get them and where did you mount the switches and cutouts themselves?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Re: Electric cutout question... (joe03z06)
is this nasty loud or livable, how noticable is the eprformance gain with them open? how much better is it than just leaving your cats off
No noticeable performance gain, but it sounds one hell of a lot more intimidating with them open (like a Pro Stock dragster). :D
Do both! Remove your cats and have electric cutouts! That's the ticket! :cheers:

Re: Electric cutout question... (Patches)
Also wondering if anyone has installed cutouts in a 3" mid section yet?
It just looks to me like there isn't enough room to fit 'em in there :confused:

Re: Electric cutout question... (Flyin'Brian)
Haven't put them in yet because emissions are next month and I need to get that out of the way before messing with the O2's and swapping in the sims. They should sit almost in that position shown in the pic or slightly rotated relative to each other. The cutout sections are actually offset front-to-back when they're mounted because of the flange positions on the car.
