Electric Cutout, What size e500

Hey guys, I am going to put an electric cutout on the stock exhaust of my e500. I know some of you are against it but i have alot of experience with these cutouts and they are perfect. I just was wondering what size i need because i do not know what size the exhaust piping is. Anyone know?

E500 is 2 1/2" plumbing.

I think it would be safe to assume that you'd be the first person to have tried this, in the World, on an E500. I have no real advice on this one, man.

Are you sure this is the route you want to take? If it's sound you're looking for, I can guide you. But I have zero experience with cutouts on one of these things. Corvette Z06...sure, E500...not so much.

Interesting, nonetheless.

Good luck.
