Default Cutouts

So i finally finished my piggies (took a lot longer than i thought). But before i finish putting on my exhaust i decided i want cutouts, does anyone know if they sell just regular cutouts at any stores, i just wanna finish this weekend and don't wanna order them online. Also if that doesn't work im just gunna weld on some turndowns after the cat, would you guys suggest them facing out or facing the ground for best sound?

face them down and out. to the sides resonate off the bottom of your car and drive you nuts, straight down will probably bounce off the street and back up to your car causing the same issue so if you angle them down a little bit from the sides and you'll be gravy

Thats a good idea, just curious i noticed that the 2 downpipes end at different lengths when they attach to the exhaust, is it ok if they are different lengths when i put turndowns on them, or will one make a different sound?
