well i have stock manifolds going into 40 series flowmasters.. i want to get headers since the swap will be easy to do since front clip is off... i wanna be able to uncap them by the flip of a switch so i can run open headers to scream get out the way..then for normal cruising flip the switch again and its kinda quieter with the flowmasters....is that possible and how do you do it?

If I am following you correctly, you want to put a "Y" into each of your pipes and one of these on each "Y"

Electric cutouts, that's how that will be accomplished. Copperhead had a set on it. Just do a internet search for electric cutouts, and you should find a few that are available.

Dam!! I want these now. Looks like fitting would need to be done by an exhaust shop?

If you do get yours done anytime soon Petey, let us know how you get on.

Fastom we need a vid of how she sounds.
