Default Those with electric cutouts....

How difficult is it to wire up? Does it come with complete instructions to do this? Does this system come in beofre, after or replace your cats? Thanks, Kaley

Kaley,

I have them and I didn't find them difficult to wire up. I cut a hole under the rear of the middle storage compartment (I have a Z06) and ran the wire to the center console plastic cover that has the traction control button on it. I cut a hole in the area where you place your fingers to pull open the center storage compartment and that's were I have the open/close cutout button. I had the cutout Y pipe placed after the cats, right before the rear axle. Which cutouts do you have? I have the McCords (I think that's the name) and had a few problems with them sticking or not wanting to open. I placed some high temperature bearing grease on the pin/torque tube that opens/closes the cutouts and have not had any problems with them getting stuck. I hope this helps.

I do not have them yet. I was going to get the the QTP cutouts. How much do the ones that you have cost? Do you have pictures of them installed? Thanks, Kaley

I have the QTP's. No probs yet. They are wired the same way as ValleyZ06.
