Arrow Cutout with stainless exhaust or Hooker coated Y?

Here's the current setup on my '93.

Coated Hooker LTs
Coated Hooker Y-pipe
Magnaflow 3" stainless exhaust

I'd sort of like to add a cutout (probably electric) but what do I cut? And if I cut the I-pipe, where do I get a stainless cutout?
I'd rather not cut and ruin the coating on the Y-pipe...

Thanks!

Most people put theirs around the axle. I wouldn't put it in the y-pipe.

Well, I've had cutouts in different places before and on my '95 Z, the cutout is located here. (the Flowmaster POS came with the car )
But still, the question is, how do I get a stainless cutout if there even is such thing. Or should I have the exhaust shop fabricate me one?

I also have the 3" Magnaflow, and my cutout is installed in the I-pipe before it goes over the axle.

I just bought a standard Flowtech 3" cutout, not a special stainless version.

Ion, you could always buy a cut-out and send it to Jet-hot

I am going w/ the electric unit from DMH Performance and Dave is making a stainless steel cutout to match my Borla. Will be worth the extra $$$. Contact Dave @ www.dmhperformance.com
