Header/Y-pipe/Cutout Combo?
Looking at hedman longtube headers from summit ($120)... trying to find a decent 3" y pipe (anyone know of one?), or just using the hedman Y pipe ($70)... and either the Mr. Gasket Co. 2" lever-controlled cutout for $50, or the QTEC 3" electric cutout for $180...
I was hoping to have 3" into 3"... but I guess that's not going to work. I'd like to keep this venture as dirt cheap as physically possible. Any ideas guys? I hate to put headers and everything on this, and then just reduce the damn thing to 2" anyways...

Thanks man... what about the 2" cutout? Is that going to restrict it too much?

thanks for the input! The tricky part is, does the flowtech 3" cutout have a lever control?
I don't want to shuck out the $180 for the QTEC, as electronic isn't necessary...but I would like to control the cutout from inside the car. If this flowtech can do that, how much does it cost? Heh, I want to be naughty on the road.

DON'T do the 2" cutout...it wont really gain you anything since it is so much smaller
the flowtech cutout has 3 bolts/wingnuts that you have to remove, then you can pull the plate off.
the Qtech is cool, but expensive.

Well the whole problem with the wingnut idea is that I HAVE to unscrew wingnuts...the glory of the 2" wusser is that I can hook it up to my currently-non-functional e-brake lever, and when I want to ditch the catback, just pull it up...
I realize the smart thing would be to get the two 3" cutouts for $55 on summit, but those are wingnuts. No one seems to be in the business of creating this wonderful pull-lever cutout.
Thanks again for the responses!
