Notes

The experience that I had with the exhaust cut-out on my 1994 Z28 was great, with one exception.  I hated crawling under the car to uncap it.  I wasn't able to do it until the car cooled down, and I was guaranteed to get a hand full of carbon.  So, when I decided to put one on my 2000 T/A I knew that there must be a solution out there.  I found several companies that made electronic cut-outs.  I chose to go with the MPP-II.  Some people had trouble with an earlier version of this unit, but the problems have been addressed.  It is also backed by a good warranty and Keith is a good person to work with.

As you will see in the pictures on the right, I had a custom cut-out welded into my Corsa cat-back system.  This way, everything is stainless or aluminum so there will be no rust problems like there are with the old fashioned painted steel cut-outs.

One of the coolest parts of the whole set-up is that Keith wired the plate to a GM convertible top switch.  This allowed me to use a new GM plastic bezel inside the car to mount the switch right next to my TCS switch.  It has a great factory look, and the light inside of the switch tells you when the door is open, closed, or partially open.

Special thanks to Mike at Merlin's Muffler in Fon du Lac, Wisconsin (1-920-922-6681) for making and welding the cut-out and installing my Kenny Brown Double Diamond SFC's.
