Purchasing DMH cutouts, where to install? Topic says it all, I have it narrowed down to 2 possibilities, on the stock headers before the cats, or just after the stock cats. The only downfall of going before the cats would be complicating the install of future after market headers. I do not plan to EVER put a cat back on the car, or remove the cats.
I would really like to see a comparison of before and after cats on the stock headers if anyone has some video

If the gas is going out beofre the cats it's only travelling 2 ft or so. If you have a great flowing 3 inch exhaust it still has to travel the length of the car. A cutout 2 feet from the head will out flow the 3 inch. It'll be loud as F though.

I had a GSX with a 57 trim turbo and a dumped wastegate, you should have seen people jump when that thing hit full boost. Hoping for the same effect here, even if I only gain 5hp
Im hoping to avoid that always annoying, horrid sounding, off-throttle rasp though

our stock cats are hi-flo as is and power starts at the head not after the cats.
if you want some noise or to wake up your cars sound try the jegs magnaflo x-pipe
in place of stock reonator for 98.00 and remove/delete the stock mufflers with straight pipe and add some tips. you can get it all done for under 400 and with the money saved
get some V// floor matts or other kool v trinket of your choice.
