I do NOT see the point of installing 2 seperate 2.5" cutouts, its not worth the cost, so dont bother suggesting it, lol. The flanges to the catalytic convertor is the only place where the 2 pipes merge into one so theres no other common pipe to weld a cut out into. I was thinking, could i get away with putting a single 2.5" cutout right after the cat in just one of the 2 pipes. That would give my GF the sound increas at the flip of a switch she wants and would MAYBE add a little power if any, mainly for the sound though.. what you guys think?

could you section out a piece of the 2.5" pipes somewhere further down stream. Say 6-8" on each pipe then put a 3" cutout immedialtely following the cat, then put the existing flange back in place??? I'm not familiar with A/G body exhaust stuff so this may not be feasible...see pic
Just though of one problem with this set up.....when she goes for inspection the and look with the mirrors to check the cats, they will see the cut out....so also make a short splice piece to pop in for inspection, tuck the wiring up in the car, pass inspection...then remove splice, reinstall cutout and you are golden....
