Cutouts
The FLP cutouts with McCord electrics and the switchbox. I was hoping these was going to just fit in place of the existing FLP cats. They were too wide to fit . Time for 'Plan B'.

Shane at Grand Mufflers did a great install. He used internal welds and positioned the cutouts expertly. He rotated the gearmotors out of harms way and mounted them there.

A worm's eye-view. The turndowns are flush with the tank shields and actually have more clearance than the FLP clamps. They are pointed backward and down at about 30 degrees. They work well and sound beautiful.
